You may remember me from such platforms as Letterboxd and The Platform Formerly Known As Twitter.

I’m into film, languages and my adopted homes of West Cork and Northern Japan.

I’ve said this before but MST3K was one of my undeclared film schools, I went from thinking “ha ha stupid movies” to interested in them for their own sake & my innate ideas of what film is about & for were fundamentally changed. Film still isn’t for The Sidehackers however, that should be illegal.
Which MST3K movie was actually the best *movie*? Which one has the most non-ironic fans and defenders.

Danger: Diabolique comes to mind (though certainly not the best of the Diabolique films). This Island Earth as well, since they had to pick something a bit more palatable for the theatrical film.

Aleksandr Ptushko's THE SWORD AND THE DRAGON (1956)

I don't care for this Soviet fantasy movie's jingoism, but it's a staggering visual spectacle. Using something so rad as fodder for goofy jokes is MST3K at its Razzies-est.

Both Tommy february6’s and Tommy heavenly6’s second albums are getting double-vinyl LP reissues on sale in February 2026. I don't want to freak you out, but they originally came out in 2004 and 2006, respectively.

Hell, let’s watch a Brinke Stevens movie. Now watching Repligator (1996), the army is turning people into alligators and somehow a bunch of naked women are involved. Starring Gunnar “Leatherface” Hansen 📽️ #horrorsky

Second time this week I’ve see someone use ‘turn of the century’ to mean ‘around 2000’/‘turn of the millennium’ - if there are already perfectly good expressions for a period why confuse things but taking one already in use??

Damn @arrowvideo.bsky.social did you have to go so hard with THE HOUSE WITH LAUGHING WINDOWS? Look at this!

Last time I saw this movie was a mostly pink, faded and battered 35mm print. Excited to see it in 4K (and with a commentary by @horrornonna.com and @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social 🤌🏼)!

Hajime Sato’s Golden Bat (1966) is fucking incredible. A missing link between Warning from Space (1956) and Ishinomori’s Kamen Rider, Japan’s own crack at Fantômas as a time-looped Atlantean mummy who rises from slumber to cackle and throw violent hands with aliens, mutants, and alien mutants.

I've mentioned this quietly, but - since the summer my hobby has been making this ambitious murder mystery podcast. A story. Narrated by me, with a mouthwatering cast. Partly interactive. Trailer is coming tomorrow but if you like the sound of this, please follow @murderbastard.bsky.social.
