What’s that? You’re saying Netflix is Denying Claims of Reiterating Plot Points?

It’s so curious to listen to people doing a REALLY deep dive into a film you made a very long time ago, but this is worth a listen!

If you’ve been getting hyped by these Spider-Man: Bran New Day set photos but can’t wait another 9 months to see Tom Holland and Jon Bernthal team up, great news! They starred in the 2017 Irish indie Pilgrimage, and Manish & I broke it all down with the incomparable @carolinesiede.bsky.social

Watched Dec. 23rd, 2024. PILGRIMAGE 2017 Stars Jon Bernthal (Punisher/Walking Dead), Tom Holland (Spiderman/Sexy corset dancing), & Richard Armitage (Thorin Oakenshield). Medieval Irish time period rep A+++++++ (that's too many + but damn did they do a great job on capturing the period.)

Now I'm watching Pilgrimage again because I enjoy it every time. Still my favorite Tom Holland movie.

aw thank you Kaija ⚔️❤️

Celebrating St Patrick’s day by recommending an Irish film (in Irish! and English! and French!) set in an era of Irish history that has - to the best of my knowledge - never been put on screen before or since. youtu.be/ECmlAkQy-DA?...

Irish bluesky checking to see who’s claiming Jessie Buckley as “British”.

just fyi, it is spelt “HAMNET” but it is pronounced -

Reviewing an action scene and realised I wrote “slams on the BREAKS” instead of “slams on the BRAKES”.

“Well yes, we *could* do that but it wouldn’t make any fucking sense."

That man has the head of a teacher who gives homework every weekend and a little extra on a bank holiday weekend.

why does every single photo of this muppet look like the moment right after the grumpy-career dad and the precocious-but-annoying child have swapped bodies

Hollywood, my agent is waiting.

Please, I will return “THE NOISE OF E20” film (a Hungarian art-house thriller about a pair of haunted earphones) I rented from Laser on George’s St sometime in 2011.

Ke Huy Quan wrote a memoir and didn’t call it SHORT ROUND: LONG STORY and I think that’s a damn shame.

I visited Carrifran Wildwood myself last summer, and the scale of what has been achieved there truly has to be seen to be believed. At least 400,000 acres is now being rewilded in Scotland: an incredible 2.1% of the whole country, and rapidly increasing all the time. Come ON, Ireland!!

“elite human capital” lol

Always with the "light chuckling", but how do they manage to always edit out the air-sucking hiss of "Jesus fucking Christ, are you fucking serious?” that someone - for the love of god, there must be SOMEONE - is muttering

Man, I would have watched this show in a heartbeat: youtu.be/C8FPcI_BIfc?... #headlopper

Fond memories of working at NTL, woman rang up screaming at me. Her husband in background shouts at her, “don’t talk to them like that. They’re on fuck all” Then he takes phone off her, and gives me a line which I have used myself since “Do you have a manager you dislike intensely I can speak to?”

Russia launched its full-scale invasion exactly four years ago. If anyone had told us, during that first month, that this would be the situation four years later, we would have instantly called it a massive Ukrainian victory and a staggering Russian defeat

Between them ‘Municipal Gothic’ and ‘Intervals of Darkness’ have 27 stories full of haunted buildings, haunted people, and working class weirdness. Obviously *I* think they're great – but so do strangers who owe me nothing! 👉 www.amazon.co.uk/Municipal-Go... 👉 www.amazon.co.uk/Intervals-Da...

Tom Noonan’s directorial debut WHAT HAPPENED WAS… (an adaptation of his own stageplay) won the Grand Jury Prize and Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at Sundance in 1994. @filmsradiance.bsky.social have a spanking restored version on blu-ray: www.radiancefilms.co.uk/products/wha...

Thank you, Mick! 🫡

Despite its prosaic title, THE DAMNED (2024) is a beautiful piece of filmmaking. An Irish/Norwegian co-production, it is filled with dread and stunning Nordic visuals. Available on Hulu here in the States.

what a time to be alive etc

Bill Hader doing an impression of Oliver Reed explaining the difference between acting on stage & acting on film. Love how he cracks Paul Giamatti up.

With the recent success of YouTuber Markiplier's film 'Iron Lung' at the US box office, we took that notable news as a cue to chat about YouTube in Hollywood and pick our favourite content creators. There's a list of all of those mentioned in the show notes. www.bestbitspodcast.com/screen-play

This is a great analogy I am going to shamelessly steal. *inserts YOINK! gif*

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
