It’s a rare thing that I get to write about Nigeria in my work. That I get to do it to champion a film like My Father’s Shadow makes it extra special. Read all about it in @empiremagazine.bsky.social’s latest issue, out now.

#StrangerThings thoughts: a solid, but ultra safe finale. Action was pretty satisfying. The final scene is perfect. But man, I wish this franchise had some balls and took some genuine risks.

Love this.
Not many things in life will have you pumping your fist in the air, but watching little Tommy Robinson’s (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon’s) face and bravado drop when he gets called out for his racism and hypocrisy by boxer Ty Mitchell is one of them.
This is glorious. 🔥

Imagining the Studio-esque conversations the suits must’ve had about this is a fun but demoralising exercise. Can we please stop scraping the IP barrel and try for something new?
A live-action Gaston movie is in the works at Disney.
Dave Callaham (‘Across the Spider-Verse’) is writing the script

#Sinners is my personal favourite film of the year, and it was a blast catching up with Ryan Coogler in November to tell him that it’s also Team @empiremagazine.bsky.social’s best film of the year. Read our convo in this month’s issue.

Sometimes when you get a bunch of Black film and TV journos together for a Christmas meet up and you have a debate about which Sister Act movie is better (it's Sister Act 2, btw), this happens...

#28YearsLater: The Bone Temple - Yet more evidence that when you let Nia DaCosta cook, great things tend to happen. So much to love, with Ralph Fiennes walking away with the MVP and tearing the house down with one especially insane sequence that rightfully drew applause. Go see!

10 years since its release, and the needle drop of Rocky's ‘Gonna Fly Now’ theme in Creed still hits like pure adrenaline. A big reason why maybe my favourite Ryan Coogler movie is right up there with Top Gun: Maverick for best legacy sequel honours. So good!
