An easter feast.

Jim Carrey's breakout role that showcases his brilliance as a comedic actor using every fibre of his being to portray the role of the crazy "Pet Detective".

Apple updates iMovie with new storyboard and magic movie features. Fetch gets Disney+ as it expands its entertainment offering, Panasonic has a strange set of gaming headphones and the new Huawei Watch.

And Corey Tutt from Deadly Science will inspire you to dig deep and help out those who should very much be exposed to STEM learning. Plus of course, your calls on Tech!
