I don't like horror/scary...
"ALL THE VIOLENCE!!!"

Features me butting in late on about the Daniel Bravo issue. He needs to grow up...
*NEW POD* Kris and Tom are your hosts looking back at a turbulent week for OM, much needed respite for Monaco and 10 in a row for OL; elsewhere it's CDF week and there were many, many transfers!

Author says accusations ‘spread and amplified’ by people more interested in ‘outrage and getting clicks’

Gaiman, 65, author of novels including American Gods and the Ocean at the End of the Lane, has faced allegations of sexual abuse and coercive behaviour which were outlined in a podcast by the Tortoise Media team in July 2024. Continue reading...

"Standing room only". Someone's never been to a cinema in their life
Kayleigh: My mom went to see Melania. She said the theater was packed, it was standing room only. People were cheering through it, they were excited. It was interactive—people interplaying with the film. She said it was just electric.
