One of the ugliest cars ever to grace the roads or one apparently beloved by some of the worst people of its decade on this week's bout of automotive nonsense...
This week's episode sees us looking at two ridiculously overpowered executive saloons with a Ford Scorpio Cosworth and a Citroen CX Turbo.
Drag coefficients! 1980s dictators! Grace Jones! Plus, a painting that proves a car really can be art.

This is a really good film. I've only ever seen it on ratty rental VHS, so will be fascinated to watch it in fancy 4K Blu-rayovision.
I was thrilled to write an essay for the 4K UHD release of Dead Kids AKA Strange Behaviour, the directing debut of Two-Lane Blacktop producer Michael McLaughlin. It's a wild ride & the first recorded appearance of the Birthday Party (then Boys Next Door) is on the soundtrack! @indicator.bsky.social

This is the worst thing a Naked Gun actor has ever done
SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power.
In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.”

There's absolutely no way this could bite Disney on the arse. And $1bn... these numbers are basically meaningless now. Completely untethered from reality.

Because I have my finger on the pulse of modern cinema, I've been writing about Sensurround: Universal's nosebleed-inducing, household pet-killing subsonic cinema tech... from 1974.
Introduced in the 1974 disaster film, Earthquake, Sensurround shook audiences in their seats - and if anything, may have been too effective…

The goal for all monsters should be to simply grow a sixth finger.
This Gen AI age represents a great opportunity for shapeshifting monsters such as your vampires, werewolves, etc. No longer need they fear being caught on camera, just so long as they make their transmogrifications just a little less believable than usual.
