I've started a Substack! It's called Bonus Content, and it's all the (bonus) stuff that doesn't make it into a real publication, but I just want – and need – to write about. First article is about interviewing the cast of Stranger Things 5... somebonuscontent.substack.com/p/how-strang...

Part 2 of my #StrangerThings5 coverage for SFX! Had another session with the Duffer brothers, showed Linda Hamilton around my house (on Zoom), and spoke to Sadie Sink, Shawn Levy, and Jamie Bower Camber. Buy the mag here: www.magazinesdirect.com/uk/sfx-399-p...

my review of Stranger Things 5 Part 1. Fun fact, the very first episode of Stranger Things came out two days after David Cameron left office as Prime Minister... It's fair to say, the new season has been a long time coming 😂 www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen...

Cover story incoming! I interviewed the Duffer brothers, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, and Noah Schnapp for SFX's mega #StrangerThings5 issue! 10,000 words over 20 pages! My longest piece EVER!! On shelves this week!!!

I've been neglecting to post anything I'm doing on socials, so here are some highlights from the last few months: I went to Vancouver to visit the set of Tron: Ares back in January 24. Finally, the piece is here – in the new issue of SFX!

My review of the new Jurassic World, a movie I wanted to love but... www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen...

I'm becoming worse at posting about the stuff I've done... Like, I spoke to the F1 movie team: uk.movies.yahoo.com/movies/f1-mo... And the Thunderbolts: uk.movies.yahoo.com/movies/thund... Well, a few Thunderbolts... uk.movies.yahoo.com/movies/thund... And a Jimmy from 28 Years (in SFX mag)

latest review for GamesRadar! I tackled Ballerina (or From the World of John Wick: Ballerina): www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen... And Karate Kid Legends (or From the World of Cobra Kai: Jackie Chan Returns): www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen...

For the latest issue of @sfxmagazine.bsky.social, I spoke to the team who made #M3GAN2.0... I think the cover says it all. Can't wait to see it in a packed cinema

A couple of interviews from earlier this month – Will Poulter talking Death of a Unicorn and playing a rich a-hole: uk.movies.yahoo.com/movies/death... And Steve Coogan on penguins being better co-stars than humans! uk.movies.yahoo.com/movies/steve...

new issue of @sfxmagazine.bsky.social out today! Includes more from my Wheel Of Time S3 set visit, plus a look forward to the game Dune Awakening. Glad to see people are loving Wheel of Time – what I saw the team putting together was incredibly cool!

Over the last few months, Finzar and I have been working hard on a complete overhaul of our website, Storezar, a place to purchase video editing presets and courses. Now, finally, we have launched! Check it out here: storezar.com

With #Daredevil currently coming weekly, I've written a couple of pieces about it... First, tied to Capt 4 but even more relevant now – why Wilson Fisk could be going for President: www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen... And weighing up the premiere's death: www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen...

Last week, I spoke to the cast of Adolescence for Yahoo. Felt like nobody knew just how big and impactful it would end up being for Netflix. Stephen Graham int: uk.news.yahoo.com/netflix-adol... Jack Thorne + co.: uk.news.yahoo.com/netflix-adol...

Big issue of SFX incoming. That little nib about being on set of Wheel of Time S3 – that's me! I went to South Africa! The craftsmanship was phenomenal and the cast and crew were exceptionally accommodating – never had so much access!

Some quotes from my #Daredevil piece for SFX Magazine. It's been fun to see them written up by everyone from comic book geeky websites to newspapers and trade press. Much more in the magazine, out today! www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen...

My first major piece of 2025... I interviewed the team behind Daredevil Born Again for SFX Magazine. If you're intrigued by the future of Marvel Television, you won't want to miss it. Out Jan 29th!

From earlier this year – I spoke to Drew Hancock about #Companion Fun fact: I was told before the interview (and my review in the next issue) not to spoil the twist... while the new trailers spoil the twist! So that's why you won't find any references to it... www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen...

It's been a big year. Some career highlights: two SFX cover features, a Lord of the Rings set visit, an afternoon with Jeff Goldblum, and a few more things I can't yet talk about just yet...

My review of #Sonic3, in which I compare Sonic to Dominic Toretto... The most consistently fun instalment in the franchise so far, almost entirely thanks to two Jim Carreys. www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen...

With Robert Eggers' #Nosferatu nearly here, check out my interview with Eggers from his stint promoting The Northman. It was a great half hour chat about his four favourite films – Andrei Rublev, Fanny & Alexander, Mary Poppins, and "some Buster Keaton stuff" podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

I deep dived into those #LordOfTheRings cameos in the new anime film for GamesRadar+. It gets... nerdy... www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen...

I’ve seen a few episodes of #CreatureCommandos and it’s a riot. Love how Gunn spotlights the weirdest characters — namely G.I Robot and Weasel — and somehow their episodes are the best. A fun start (?) to the DCU

I wrote about The Holdovers for NME’s best of the year list, which features the most NME choice for number one www.nme.com/lists/end-of...

Big week for me in Middle-Earth… From literal Edoras in New Zealand to the London premiere of War of the Rohirrim!

Let's give this one a go... Here's my website if you don't know anything about me (a freelance culture journalist who's not giving up just yet) www.jackjshepherd.com
