Talking "Trainspotting" on "Girls, Guts and Giallo" here (or wherever you pod): the novel, Sean Connery, "Ladsploitation", 80s Edinburgh, 90s Britain, Gen X, Renton and Begbie's queerness, transgressive pleasure, Scottish identity and Annie's impressive accent.

This evening at work I actually had to leave for 10 minutes because the level of shitheadedness around me reached levels only Florida can reach and then some. Transcendental fuckwittery that genuinely had me running for my sanity.

Shirley Bassey covering Grace Jones, seemingly in the middle of a gay orgy featuring the original cast of ITV's "Gladiators". Serves much of the proverbial.

Very sad news about Emilie Dequenne. 4 films well worth a watch. Rest in peace.

New work colleague has called in 3 times in just 3 weeks due to a car accident. I'm honestly starting to suspect something...
