Thus far, it's been hard on the festival scene. There's about 10 more to be announced, so fingers crossed for more laurels for the Last Sock You'll Ever Need (my short film).

In January, pre-production starts for short film number 2.
I'm partial to the occasional anime, mostly comedy and horror these days. Still. Netflix recommended me Tougen Aniki, a fight of the week style series where teenagers get superpowers by slitting their wrists. Holy shit, there's tone deaf and there's just plain offensive.

Boo, algorithm, Boo.

I was super lax watching movies last year, I totally lost my motivation much to the point that I haven't even looked at my letterboxd wrapped. My mpho was gone. Off to a good start this year though, upgraded Game Night to...

A ★★★★★ review of Game Night (2018)
Maybe it's not a 5 star movie, even if I love Game Night; maybe it's star rating was bloated by watching it the day after Hot Tub Time Machine. Even so, this is one of the great modern comedies, for m...

I've said before, I don't do new year resolutions. That said, I was too reclusive in 2025, this extended to social media too. I guess I just had things going on with the old mental health. 2026 I am going to be making more of an effort.

Again, this is something that's happening - not a resolution.

My true Christmas wish - the thing I hold most hopeful in my heart - is that each and every one of you has a better 2026 than you had in 2025. May the fates be generous and kind and you all receive the blessings you all so richly deserve. Merry Christmas and much love to you all.

I don't believe in NY resolutions, they are for cowards lacking conviction (sarcasm, dont be literal) But I do believe in setting goals for myself. And for 2026, nothing is stopping me from getting the fuck out of the north east. And making my 2nd film, and getting out into the world more.

It was sorted with radiance. Got them in 28 hours second time around.

The original order has been swallowed by the vast caverns that are the royal mail dispatch centres.
People who ordered something in the @filmsradiance.bsky.social black friday sale, has your order arrived yet?

Mine has been stuck on "dispatched, on its way" since 27th november.

If they struggled to deliver under the mass of orders, fine, I would get it - but it says royal mail have it. Hmmm...

What's your favourite non-Christmas Christmas Movie? It might be in this chaotic force of an episode. Give it a listen, it was loads of fun to record.

In my defence, I forgot to post. Not out of incompetence, but because Spotify is properly vile and I don't like thinking about it never mind uploading stuff to it.

Erm...

Listen to my podcast, please.
The latest episode of Uncut with @uncutrobcast.bsky.social
& @knowhereandy.bsky.social ahead of the Christmas Episode Dropping later today.

The pair talk about Kurt Russell, his work with John Carpenter, miscast co-stars, and the lack of modern movie stars.

I remember loving Agitator back in the tartan asia extreme days, but have no recollection of it. I've been thinking about it lately, and then an email rocked up including this release from @filmsradiance.bsky.social - I think that means I have to buy it now.
