If you enjoy ASMR videos and 1990s/Early 2000s technostalgia; if you want to hear familiar clunk, click, beep and whir sounds that carry you back to THE transition time between the analogue and digital world, WATCH this two minute YouTube clip below by @danieldmoses.bsky.social youtu.be/VqhKRYPQdSU

Hugely impressive puppetry and synched performance, especially at a live event.

The 1981 horror film Dead & Buried has probably the most stomach turning Texas switch out there. Amazing special make up effects work by Stan Winston and team. I won't spoil it on here, but one for @tvaziri.com's records (I'm sure you've seen it).

I've posted this before, but I don't care; it's Jerry Goldsmith's birthday: One of my favourite of his cues. It has everything: lush orchestra, military drumming, drum machines, synth glissando, cartoon sound effects & changes tone at least 5 times. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GncB...

The great film composer Jerry Goldsmith was born 97 years ago today. Among his endless great contributions to film and TV soundtracks, he also composed (in my opinion) the most immediate and attention grabbing trailer music of all time www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEYT...

Interesting thread here, if you love great film music. You can hear the difference clearly. Weirdly, 3 years before Total Recall, Superman IV also began recording in Munich with the Graunke orchestra, and also ended up being moved to London and the National Philharmonic London.

Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns apparently became 40 years old today! If you didn’t catch my video already, I go into detail on how it was a surprising, recurring inspiration for the makers of Batman Forever: youtu.be/9xA4QmZDWx8?si

The new Muppet Show is an affectionate portal to the '70s version & its anarchic puppet sensibility. It's in HD with digital effects, contemporary pop culture ref's & celebrities, but bridges admirably to that magical analogue TV world of variety theatre, wooden clipboards & dusty painted backdrops.

Why isn’t the Great Muppet Caper listed in the Suggested section of the New Muppet Show on Disney+? There will be so many new Muppet fans who need to know about it.

Superb interview with legendary production designer Jack Fisk. Discusses his work with Malick, PT Anderson, Scorsese, Lynch & Safdie. Lovely observations about 50s & 60s New York which made me think of my Irish immigrant parents who lived there at the time. Go to 1.21.57 pca.st/episode/8cb9...

A deleted scene from my documentary "In Search of the Last Action Heroes", director Sheldon Lettich discusses the underrated martial arts film he directed and wrote, Only The Strong (1993). youtu.be/xyHnoFnCeWA

I finally saw Hamnet last night & was quite moved. Its message about how lived experience in art speaks to everyone really captures now on many levels. Following the screening, Jonathan Pryce chatted with Paul Mescal. Pryce gifted Mescal with his stage copy of Hamlet as a birthday present.

For any James Bond/film/book fans following me, Mark O'Connell's latest book is now pre-ordering. His last Bond themed book, Catching Bullets, is also a great read. Obviously, he's very much worth following, too!

Catherine O'Hara's performance in Beetlejuice has one of my favourite physical comedy gestures: she delicately pats her chest to locate the source of her sudden vocal possession. In what seemed to be a lovingly inspired take on this scene in The Mask, a police officer basically repeats this.

NEW VIDEO - Some recent titles i've added to my LaserDisc collection! youtu.be/ohcMuwFjx58

A really great new interview with James Cameron www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQxe...

I think the 1987 Masters of the Universe film, in spite of being a cash strapped, compromise of an adaptation, has a lot of heart & is elevated particularly by Courtney Cox, Meg Foster & Bill Conti. Based on the trailer, the new film seems much more faithful to the source material & speaks to 2026.

I am stunned!! This music hasn't ever been officially sold outside of the TV show. 2 CDs suggests it could be ALL seasons. I cannot wait to see the playlist! I am also thrilled that it's passing through the production expertise of the great @nsbulk.bsky.social. @ducktalks.bsky.social

A huge congratulations to ILM for another well deserved Oscar win!

The January gloom is overwhelming at the moment. Time to remember Ryuichi Sakamoto and get immersed in his beautiful music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTtC...

I enjoy doing film production & special/visual effects breakdowns in my videos. Here's one as a YouTube short: How Gizmo walked in Gremlins 2: The New Batch (I've no idea why blue sky makes the thumbnail wrong)... www.youtube.com/shorts/-yd8X...

Would appreciate ALL the shares and views of this we can get, folks - this one was six months of on/off work in between paid gigs, regular vids and some pretty trying IRL times this year but I'm VERY proud how it turned out 🙏

Check out channels like Kino Lorber, Cult Cinema Classics, and New Yorker’s Screening Room to watch free movies on YouTube. 🎬

Today, I can be found listening to this. Great album from 1975. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlZ6...

If you love action films and can get to Bristol:

Reminder - The UK premiere of my latest documentary ‘The Untold Story of No Retreat No Surrender’ is happening at 7pm on Saturday the 24th of January 2026 at the Bristol MegaScreen. Tickets cost £15. If you would like to attend send payment to paypal.me/NORETREATIMAX to be added to the guest list.

Many of my favourite music videos were directed by Steve Barron (Aha's Take On Me arguably being his masterpiece). The first 30 minutes of my video goes into the pioneering work of himself and Limelight Productions. youtu.be/WWT9ZSlej4k

I don't think I've ever seen a decent transfer of this online. It's always been a multi-generation, low resolution VHS copy, recorded off a TV screen or something. This just seems to be that, but the non-existent detail sharpened and saturated via AI upscale.

If you are curious about the new TMNT blu ray set, this is the definitive analysis video.

Interesting.

Unpopular opinion: I prefer this song to Crush On You. I love its Prince-ly, funky groove. Crazy to think these songs are 40 years old now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTIj...

I find it quite moving reading all of the Rob Reiner tributes. I've noticed that everyone, whatever their tastes, considers at least one or more of his films to be a definitive classic of their genre.

I hadn't heard this in a while: The original version of the theme tune to the BBC TV quiz show Telly Addicts. It was by George Fenton & sounds to me like if The Art of Noise covered the Gremlins rag by Jerry Goldsmith. Later versions ditched the cool synths for rock. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHo-...
