About Us
Cool Shite is a site dedicated to films, TV, comics, games and anything genre and pop culture.
Why (Cool) Shite?
(Cool) is in brackets because most of the time we watch stuff no-one has seen before, so sometimes it’s “cool shite” and other times it’s just simply shite.
Shite?
Pronounce it: Sh-eye-t, it sounds better than the old ’shit’ word.
