Another Homer-un for @empiremagazine.bsky.social with this glorious 2026 preview! Very proud to be in among the great pieces in here chatting to the one and only Andrew Stanton about #ToyStory5. This was his first time talking about the film, and I honestly think something very special's on its way.
The journey begins…
Christopher Nolan’s #TheOdyssey is revealed on Empire’s world-exclusive cover – the first look and first word on an epic like no other. On sale Thursday 20th November.

Having written about film and TV for such a long time, I’ve been thinking of pivoting to food journalism. Specifically, I’ve been planning a book on best practice when it comes to cutting meat from the bone. The only problem is, while the idea for the book is good, I simply don’t know how to fillet.

My sister text yesterday saying she’d seen an amazing film called The Crow, and I was so excited to see her taking an interest in a cult classic that I sent a whole essay back asking her thoughts on the soundtrack, Brandon Lee, all sorts. Heart sank when she said she meant “the new one”.

The final short of Star Wars: Visions’ third volume, Black, is one of the most visually striking, boldly experimental, and unexpectedly affecting things to happen to that galaxy far, far away. A stunning jazz-infused presentation of the death spiral of a doomed stormtrooper from David Production.

Not a bad vantage point for tonight’s gig. Been waiting what feels like a lifetime to see Picture Parlour live again. (Also, if you don’t already know them, then get to — they’re fucking great!)

I can pay no higher compliment to Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest than this: I will thoroughly enjoy standing in front of the screen with my hands on my hips every time One Battle After Another is on TV for the rest of my natural life.

Kogonada goes 3 for 3 with #ABigBoldBeautifulJourney. Another gorgeous rumination on memory, (dis)connection, and the work and commitment it takes every day to be here, to be alive, and to stay open when experience pleads caution. As for Joe Hisaishi’s score… utterly magical.

Just realised the screening of Weapons I’m about to head into is 4DX… I have no fucking clue how that’s going to work, and I’m not entirely sure I’m massively happy to find out. Wish me luck! 😬

Rocked up to the IMAX in my Mononoke jumper earlier like it was a rock concert. And honestly, it felt like one. The film may be 28 years old, but my God has it still got it — and it’s only more poignant after The Boy & The Heron. Despite everything, Miyazaki’s never stopped asking “How do you live?”

This year’s will be the first LFF I won’t be attending since 2019. Not sure how I feel about that, but I’m sure I’ll keep myself busy and only let the FOMO creep in sparingly. Going to be relying on my mutuals to keep me in the loop with all the kino to catch up on!

It’s been a long time coming but so worth the wait. @schillingc.bsky.social and the @lostincult.co.uk team’s IMMORTALITY: Design Works tome and soundtrack vinyl are now in my hands. Still blows my mind that the entire 424-page script for the game is here, alongside SO MUCH MORE! What a beauty. ❤️🔥

Mad bit of Ghibli memorabilia to find in a charity shop of all places. Easily the most morbid bit of merch I’ll ever own. IFYKYK.

Hayao Miyazaki’s explanation of The Boy & The Heron to his staff is all I needed today to remind me why AI will never prevail over true artists. AI can describe and explain, but it can’t think or feel. It can’t wrestle with what it means to be human, because it will never know.

Precious cargo from @deafcrocodile.bsky.social — two animated classics that I’ve never been able to get hold of, now both available in 4K. Can’t wait to get stuck in!
