Film 2 of 2026
#Hamnet
Emotionally rich drama about Shakespeare and his wife, Agnes coping with the death of their son. Jessie Buckley is magnificent, making the grief visceral, and I doubt you will see a better performance in 2026

I think the football associations of Europe. Either through #UEFA or individually, need to lead the way and decline to play in #TheWorldCup2026 in #USA, citing that the safety of teams and fans can not be guaranteed.
#FIFA it's the 1936 Olympics all over again

My first vinyl of 2026 from the brilliant #Ellur
Anthemic indie-pop with Yorkshire grit and a storyteller’s soul. She’s proving she’s one of the most exciting new voices. If you’re not listening yet, you’re missing the rise.

#SongungBlue
A film that proves you don’t need noise to make an impact, just honesty, restraint, and a story that resonates long after. The Observer called it "bland"; it is far from that

Film 76 and final film of 2025
#TheHousemaid
Yes, it's ludicrous! However, it knows what it is, and to be fair, most of the three-quarters full cinema for the morning showing went away happy if not thrilled by this thriller

Film 75 of 2025
#FackhamHall
It got me out of the house, thus saving me from going Christmas stir crazy. Some funny bits, but it will not stay in the memory too long, I suspect

Festive 50
Joint 1 – Wolf Alice – Bloom Baby Bloom
A fiery, defiant track that marks their return and sets the stage for their album The Clearing. It’s both a comeback statement and a record that balances grit with beauty.

Joint 1 – Cliffords – Bittersweet
“Bittersweet” is such a sharp little emotional blade, a song about looking back at your own coming‑of‑age mistakes and realising you’ve turned them into folklore.

A brilliant song that explores romantic and sexual tension, where attraction is complicated by drinking, vulnerability, and emotional conflict.

8 – Wet Leg – catch these fists
The lead single from Wet Leg’s album Moisturizer. It’s a dance‑punk track that sets the tone for Moisturizer as a record full of sardonic wit and dance‑floor chaos.

Released in March. Gnaw" resonates because it pairs intimate vulnerability with cinematic atmosphere. The song feels like both a confession and a performance, weaving personal pain into communal art.
