COMPETITION: Win The Brokenwood Mysteries Series 11 on DVD

Return to Brokenwood with Neill Rea and Fern Sutherland for the 11th instalment of The Brokenwood Mysteries, New Zealand’s deadliest drama where menacing murders, mysteries and intrigue lurk around every corner.

 

Acorn Media International is delighted to announce The Brokenwood Mysteries Series 11 is set for its DVD and digital release on 6 October

And to celebrate we have a copy on DVD to give away!

Synopsis:

Many moons ago, Detective Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea – Go Girls, The Warrior’s Way) arrived in the seemingly tranquil, rustic town of Brokenwood, in his classic car with a country music collection to die for – and never left.  Now, series 11 takes us back to the scenic splendour of small-town life where a web of deception, greed and dark secrets hides in the shadows. 

 

The new series joins Brokenwood’s best and brightest detectives once again as Mike Shepherd (Rea), Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland – The Almighty Johnsons, A Mistake) and Daniel Chalmers (Jarod Rawiri – Boy, Shortland Street) tackle their most perplexing cases yet. Along with eccentric pathologist Gina Kadinksy (Cristina Ionda – Out of Season, Filthy Rich), they use all manner of unconventional methods to solve the town’s most macabre mysteries with warmth, camaraderie and deadpan humour. 

 

The gripping new series cracks open a new casebook of crimes continuing to brand Brokenwood as New Zealand’s most murderous town. From an ’80s rock star with a dead groupie on his conscience, to an explosive school quiz night, with a fatal séance, a killer chandelier and a science teacher’s ziplining misadventure in the mix. Even Santa Claus makes an appearance as oddball Frodo’s (Karl Willetts – The Power of the Dog, Evil Dead) infamous family experiences a lethal case of stolen identity. 

 

Cosy up with The Brokenwood Mysteries this October for another round of curiously heinous crimes, small-town secrets and thrilling twists and turns, it would be a crime to miss it.

Mark Dice on the James Comey Indictment

Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted in September 2025 by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia on two charges: making a false statement to Congress and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. The indictment centres on his September 2020 testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, where prosecutors allege he denied authorising an FBI employee to act as an anonymous source for the media, a claim they say was untrue. The obstruction count relates to the same incident and accuses him of impeding the committee’s investigation. If convicted, the charges carry potential prison sentences of up to five years each under federal law.

Jeff Lane and Vince Russo expose wrestling "journalist" Dave Meltzer, Again!

Dave Meltzer is a wrestling journalist whose obsession with ratings and star rankings often feels like a full-time hobby masquerading as insight. He’s spent decades dissecting every bump and storyline with the intensity of someone who genuinely believes his opinion on fictional fights carries cosmic significance. Fans sometimes joke that Meltzer’s life revolves entirely around spreadsheets and Twitter posts, treating kayfabe like sacred scripture while turning nuance into a numbers game. His writing can come across as pedantic and self-important, as if every review were a life-or-death pronouncement on wrestling history. Some admire his encyclopedic memory, but others see a man trapped in a bubble of his own making, endlessly debating angles most people have long since moved past.

Synopsis:

THE UNDEAD are back, and this time they’re not the only ones raising hell in Manhattan, as The Walking Dead: Dead City returns for a gritty, gore-filled journey into the heart of post-apocalyptic New York with fan favourites Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Watchmen, Supernatural, The Boys) as Negan and Lauren Cohan (The Boy, The Vampire Diaries) as Maggie at the helm. The second season plunges us deeper into the twisted relationship between the battle worn pair, as they navigate a city crawling not just with walkers but power-hungry enemies both old and new.  

  

Picking up where the action-packed first season left off, we see our uneasy allies thrown into opposite sides of a brutal turf war that threatens to consume what’s left of civilisation. New alliances are formed and old loyalties are tested as the shadowy New Babylon Federation steps in, bringing with it a whole new set of dangers and political intrigue. With factions at war, vicious new enemies emerging and the walkers more ruthless than ever, Maggie (Cohan) and Negan (Morgan) must decide whether survival means standing together… or apart.  

 

The first season introduces us to a broken Manhattan, overrun with the undead and ruled by chaos. Maggie, now a hardened leader, joins forces with former nemesis Negan to rescue her kidnapped son, Herhsel (Logan Kim – Ghostbusters), from the clutches of the sadistic Croat (Željko Ivanek – Seven Psychopaths, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri). Joined by mysterious newcomer Ginny (Mahina Napoleon – NCIS: Hawai’i) and pursued by merciless marshals, the pair journey through New York’s crumbling skyline where horrors lurk around every corner and not just the flesh-eating kind.  

 

With a gripping narrative, electric performances and jaw-dropping set pieces – and let’s not forget kick-ass zombie action – this is a must-own for any fan of The Walking Dead. For shocking twists, dangerous turns and uneasy alliances step into The Walking Dead: Dead City. The city is more dangerous than ever… return if you dare.

Apple Falls to Third Place as Company Value Plummets

 

Apple, once the world’s most valuable company from 2021 to 2023, has seen a dramatic decline. In 2024, Microsoft overtook Apple for half the year, and now, in 2025, Apple has slipped to third place behind Nvidia and Microsoft.

In just four months, Apple’s market value dropped by 28 per cent, a loss of 1.1 trillion dollars. Analysts point to a combination of overpriced iPhones, stagnant sales, and a perceived lack of innovation that allowed competitors to close the gap. Additionally, Apple’s anticompetitive practices have led to several high-profile lawsuits, further impacting investor confidence.

Industry observers say the company’s focus on profit over product quality has contributed to this downturn. Once seen as untouchable, Apple now faces the challenge of regaining momentum in a fast-moving tech landscape while addressing mounting scrutiny from regulators and customers alike.
