Had a great time at the Tyneside Cinema last night watching Soylent Green and taking part in a post-screening panel on the film. We talked about life, death, the environment, funeral practices, science fiction, and dystopia. So much to think about with this film. #horrorNU.

I love each film and can't possibly pick. They feature some of my favourite moments in the franchise.
Do you have a favourite in the John Wick series? For sentimental reasons, the Roman trip gets my vote. I compare notes with my fabulous birthday buddy, Professor Stacey Abbott (@profsaabbott.bsky.social).

Is the John Wick series less about assassins and more about dog lovers? My amazing birthday buddy, Professor Stacey Abbott (@profsaabbott.bsky.social), takes me on a walk on the canine side at Fedora.

I was delighted to be able to talk all things John Wick on the @tippingmyfedora.bsky.social podcast. So much to talk about from fight choreography, stunts, Hong Kong hero movies, dogs, art direction, guest stars, and the star presence that is Keanu Reeve. For anyone who loves John Wick.
Today the Fedora podcast is 1-year-old. To celebrate, my brilliant birthday buddy, Professor Stacey Abbott (@profsaabbott.bsky.social), joins me to explore all things John Wick.

Hammer to John Wick. Yesterday I was on BBC Radio London talking about Horror and Hammer Studios. Then I recorded an episode of the podcast @tippingmyfedora.bsky.social on John Wick and noir, martial arts, gun-fu, Donnie Yen, the baroque mise-en-scene, and dogs (and much more). #horrorNU #johnwick

I had a marvellous time at Dirt on the Gate in Christchurch, introducing a 35mm screening of The Lost Boys…a classic 1980s teen vampire film. It was a packed house and was so nice to talk to so many enthusiastic horror/vampire/film fans. I look forward to future screenings @dirtinthegate.bsky.social
