Our first piece of the year is live—and it's a big one! With the recent release of the classic BBC sci-fi show Blake's 7 on Blu-ray, @scenicrailway.bsky.social looks back at the infamous 1980s clash between fans and creators that became known as the Slash Wars. 🚀 Read or listen to an audio version:

A ★★★★ review of The Dark Corner (1946)
"Don't they make any of these for women?" It may not be the best or most clever noir, but I love a story that's a keen observer of people and what happens when they're all crammed together in a city. ...
