Author and American-living-in-England, “Dr” @alexpickett.bsky.social (aka Joe's brother) joins Joe and Nick to watch The Pondles (1987), a god-awful Smurfs rip-off from England. Plus boring British commercials! By the end of this episode, viewers should expect to be chuffed and full of pukka.

super pleasure to write about this gorgeous recent restoration of NIGHTSHIFT by Robina Rose (1981), my idea of cinematic catnip - deadpan, dead time, women's work, flat affect, lost in the reveries of 16mm film grain mubi.com/en/notebook/...

To help the volunteer reviewers for #100SmallPress, I'm compiling a list of books coming out in 2025. Pls send me titles, name of press & release date. (For this project, a small press publishes 50ish or fewer titles per year and is not an imprint of a Big 5 publishing house.) Also, repost. pls?
