The South Park movie is an inspired choice...given, well, everything.

This is the stranger’s case, And this your mountainish inhumanity

Well, *one* person will... @kermodemovie.bsky.social committed to reviewing it in the last episode of @kermodeandmayo.bsky.social . Very much in a "so you don't have to" capacity, of course. I'm not sure we'll ever have heard a review quite like it.

👁️See It, Say It, Sorted: Jonathan Coe’s Genre-Bending Novel🔍 On the podcast this week, Adam welcomes @jonathancoe.bsky.social to Paris for a rich, funny, and wide-ranging conversation about his novel The Proof of My Innocence. pod.fo/e/3743b7

Recorded this with Adam in November last year. No memory of what I said, but it was certainly fun on the night! (And he’s a great interviewer)

Really fascinating list, Sam! Thank you. Did you happen to hear our conversation with Carrère in the bookshop last November? He was on superb form. podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast/t...

We had a wonderful time with @ianleslie.bsky.social a few weeks ago, when he came to discuss his superb #Beatles book John & Paul: A Love Story in Songs. And now you can have just as wonderful a time listening to him on our podcast. pod.fo/e/364167 @faberbooks.bsky.social

Are we being subskeeted (?) by the Telegraph's picture editor?

A lovely essay. Saw Paul in Paris about a year ago and all of this rings true. Also highly recommend @ianleslie.bsky.social’s John & Paul, which he’ll be discussing at the bookshop this week…

Top notch bit of editing on this video so that it says Flesh is about “a Hungarian young man who moves to London after serving Roddy Doyle…” 🤣 m.youtube.com/watch?v=9b_-...

urgently need you guys to know that this French politician below 1) didn't know he'd been appointed as a minister until he saw it on TV 2) reacted by going: "bah pfff voilà"
