Game Of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin is quite the connoisseur when it comes to sci-fi/fantasy works, which is why it was an impressive notch on Interstellar's belt when he labelled the movie "the best of the year."

Martin discussed Interstellar in March 2015, where he ran down his favourite bits of media released in the previous year. His 2014 movie highlights included Guardians Of The Galaxy and Predestination, but the top prize went to Interstellar, which he described as "the most ambitious and challenging sci-fi film since Kubrick's 2001."

That's some high praise. GRRM has spoken!

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
