Had the pleasure of recently guesting on @everyscififilm.bsky.social podcast alongside the brilliant Tom Docherty, talking about On the Beach (1959).

Great to present on horror videogames at #BDigra in Birmingham today. Thanks to @poppywilde.bsky.social @doktornick.bsky.social & team for a great conference day. #BritishDiGRA #DiGRA
