From @ricrawlins.bsky.social, WILD SWIMMERS is a love-letter to journalistic integrity and Bath seen through a monstrous prism. www.thereviewingrodders.co.uk/2025/12/wild...

TOMORROW! Join us for a special Film Stories 500th episode event in London with special guest Romesh Ranganathan. Details and tickets here: filmstories.co.uk/news/film-st...

The only downside to listening to Radio 60s in the morning is every ad goes like this: “Do you have a life crippling illness? Don’t worry! We can buy all your GOLD from you! You can go on that cruise ship after all!”

Thanks to everyone who came to the premiere of Wild Swimmers at the Bath Film Festival. It felt like a wedding! (*albeit a wedding in a catacomb)

I've just realised that @thebangles.bsky.social 2003 comeback album is, in fact wonderful open.spotify.com/track/6s0mvN...

This will be swell.

How did a mystical story about the Greek God Pan find its way into the middle of The Wind in the Willows? In this mini doc, I'm investigating The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and what it really means. Featuring @pjrobichaud.bsky.social & Peter Hunt www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGQe...

Honoured to be included in this short documentary on 'The Piper at the Gates of Dawn' by Ric Rawlins, whose film 'Wild Swimmers' explores a very different presence haunting the riverside!

I like Dan Akroyd’s psychic vampire test:

There are a lot of wankers in the world; try and compensate for them. Even if it’s exhausting, the difference you make might just balance things out.

Could be a rare second outing at the cinema for #sinners tonight!

I did not expect Lenny Kravitz’s autobiography to start like this

I’m not sure what esoteric mischief Waterstones have done to send me this before it’s release date but hot damn am I grateful it arrived before I ferret away on holiday. Can’t wait to read it! @johnhiggs.bsky.social #doctorwho

I’ve been thinking long and hard about this and can finally state definitively that: Can I Get a Chee-Hoo > You’re Welcome

This album always feels like inviting a bit of compassion into the world ❤️

Getting towards the end of White Lotus S2 now and it’s an understatement to say I am fearing for Tanya’s life :S

Hello! I'm a horror filmmaker from Bath – my next film is called Wild Swimmers and it's about a river dwelling vampire that feeds off... well, you guessed it. I also wrote the biography of Welsh psychedelic heroes Super Furry Animals. Thanks for following!

Fantastic article on From Here to Eternity in the new Empire by @christinalefou.bsky.social - I can’t believe I haven’t seen this and will be fixing that promptly!

Absolutely loved The Shark is Broken!

I'm nervous about the future of European security... I have no control over the future of European security... I'm nervous about... (etc) Well this is a constructive internal monologue

Ok the Eastenders 40th celebrations have gone too far now www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes...

I think I wet myself about three times in five minutes there #eastenders

That was the single best episode of eastenders EVER #eastenders

My new film Wild Swimmers is nearly finished! (Just recording 2,034 sound effects first...) www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V5r...

Little White Lies are offering 10% off a subscription today >>>

My mood has definitely improved in the mornings since switching from radio 4 to… Greatest Hits 60s! Now there’s less politics and a bit more dancing.

Pretty much just tapping my fingers between #eastenders episodes right now.

Finally popped some batteries into my Christmas prezzie! #doctorwho

Beautiful new issue of @sightsoundmag.bsky.social 🥰

I didn’t expect to be so impressed by The Order but holy moly. Gripping and relevant.

One thing I always miss from blockbusters is a kind of spacial clarity to the action scenes that allows you to orient yourself. Gareth Edwards always nails that and... could it be? The new Jurassic World trailer seems to hint at it too! #pleasegod

Car insurance is the devil’s invention. You pay for the privilege of paying anyway if you have a crash. It's easy to join... but try to leave and you are funnelled into a nightmare. Plus of course, it is illegal not to have it. The whole shitshow's like a giant crab surrounding you in its pincers.

Beautiful artwork for this year’s Salem 🔥

You know things are bad when you find yourself relating to The Brain of Morbius #doctorwho

This is basically my wife waking up to me every morning

I feel deeply ashamed that I’ve never been to this cinema. [dramatic pause] Let’s save it anyway!

Fell off the quitting-Eastenders wagon last night. Damn well watched three episodes back to back! [sobs]

This is sounding ace.

Loved this mini feature in @lwlies.com magazine. Surely there’s a book here @leilalatif.bsky.social!

Tom Morello was right. And now, we are living in the bonafide Rage Against the Machine era. It is time to organize. Our government is not failing us, it is actively trying to destroy us. #ResistForRealThisTIme

ET’s remains, a year after filming completed.

Happy birthday to my debut feature Rewilding! It was so lovely hanging out in caves and forests for a year.

Slowly coming to accept that filling in SFX potholes in a 99% finished film takes a very very long time [grows beard]

RIP Jeannot Szwarc, director of Jaws 2 – the first VHS tape I ever owned. People still love this teenage slasher of a sequel, which not only features a helicopter being eaten, but has a banger of a finale too. Here's some lovely Jaws 2 music in his memory. open.spotify.com/track/4nV02B...

Linda is like a duck waddling through the middle of a motorway and somehow not being hit by anything #thetraitors

Bath's only goth hangout The Hobgoblin was turned into a bland gastopub years ago and I thought that it for that subculture in this town. So seeing a few goths in Nosferatu last night was strangely wonderful. (The film was alright too)

You just know it’s gonna be gnarly weather for 3 months now 😫
