So. There wasn't a News Post yesterday. We're extremely sorry that some of you missed out on what would no doubt have been a fantastic piece, expertly weaving in useful information about the days' releases with good-natured but incisive humour for the whole family to enjoy.

Don't worry, we'll get our Pulitzer next year.
