this week’s YEAHS & NAHS are up, and I’m spruiking the work of @thisisalexei.bsky.social and Zach Ruane, @osmanfaruqi.bsky.social new pod, and my genius friend, @cartoontycoon.bsky.social (AT Pratt). Get it in ya!! open.substack.com/pub/yeahnah/...

as good a time as any to pre-order NOCK LOOSE, I reckon

Saw REFUSED CLASSIFICATION by @thisisalexei.bsky.social & @zacharyruane.bsky.social last night. Loved it. Particularly liked this Kenneth Anger-esque look from Alexei. Swap that jacket for a leather one and you'll reach a whole new market.

Got to see Refused Classifications live at Perth Comedy Festival last night. Written + performed by @zacharyruane.bsky.social & @thisisalexei.bsky.social, directed by @michellebrasier.bsky.social and produced by @grousehousetv.bsky.social - so damn good!

A brand new @imprintfilms.bsky.social companion podcast has dropped on @ohmpods.bsky.social with @thisisalexei.bsky.social and I talking MAN BITES DOG, SHATTERED GLASS, IN THE BEDROOM, THE WEIGHT OF WATER and FACTORY GIRL. Get it wherever you get your pods #physicalmedia

I’m launching a new podcast and newsletter with @scottmitchell.bsky.social. It’s all about the crisis in media how it’s impacting the way we understand politics, business, sport, culture, everything. It’s called Lamestream and our first ep is out now. You can subscribe here: www.lamestream.com.au

If you love Margaret, movies and mayhem, don't get Ken Parked, go see @thisisalexei.bsky.social and @zacharyruane.bsky.social's Refused Classification at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival

Got to see a show I'd been really looking forward to tonight. A true bit of Aussie film history that is informative and also had me laughing the whole time. There are still shows on during the Melbourne Comedy Festival and I highly recommend it! @zacharyruane.bsky.social @thisisalexei.bsky.social

Had the pleasure of seeing @thisisalexei.bsky.social + @zacharyruane.bsky.social perform their new show; REFUSED CLASSIFICATION at MICF. Wickedly funny and really heartfelt. Incredibly vindicating that Margaret is a huge mark for 2Fast2Furious like myself linkh.at/Refused_Clas...

I was going to have a nap before the Nintendo Direct but I just saw @thisisalexei.bsky.social and @zacharyruane.bsky.social's #MICF extravaganza and I'm so wired I'm not gonna sleep all night. At The Movies has never gone so hard. "I feel a bit better about enjoying Fast and the Furious" – my friend

Doing what I do best I am watching a movie

At just twenty years old, transgender wunderkind Alice Maio Mackay has crafted a filmography that would make most seasoned professionals envious. @alicemaiomackay.bsky.social talks about her work in the below interview. www.thecurb.com.au/alice-maio-m...

Please enjoy this genuinely unedited and bizarre photo I took surreptitiously during the absolutely fucking wonderful @thisisalexei.bsky.social and @zacharyruane.bsky.social show REFUSED CLASSIFICATION at the Adelaide Fringe

Receiving Margaret Pomeranz enthusiastic blessing to play her in our comedy festival show REFUSED CLASSIFICATION got me feeling like:

I love to watch movies

Growing up in the orphanage, this was the only photo I had of my parents.

Loved being on this brill film buff poddie with @thisisalexei.bsky.social My picks : 'Dune', 'Wake in Fright' and 'In Cold Blood'. What fun we had! Love you Alexi xx www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1cf...

One of the great filmographies

My Twitter account got hacked lol

I hope tickling was involved.

Had one of my documentary heroes on my podcast this week DAVID FARRIER 📼 great pod episode here lnk.to/mZ8A3w

Everyone mocked my physical media collection but now as the city burns and the power fails I can know that I perish alongside many of my favorite films

I wrote a whole book on Abel Ferrara's MS.45, and while its gender politics are overt, Zoe Tamerlis was a fearless (and ironically very vocal) socialist activist who only took the part because she saw the real villain of the film was Thana's boss - the very embodiment of capitalism itself.

Checked out Ronin after @thisisalexei.bsky.social mentioned it on The Last Video Store. Great flick, I cannot believe they got away with calling the IRA the military wing of Sinn Fein in the 90s though 😅 #filmsky #movies 🎥 Full review and thoughts here: boxd.it/89pCfj

29 Years. A life-long obsession. A relentlessly perfect crime epic. A perfect title, for both movie and podcast. 166 pre credits minutes, rigorously scrutinised over 195 episodes, totalling 140 hours. An unforgettable finale. 1 incredible gift. www.oneheatminute.com/podcast

Peter Dutton refuses to watch this movie.

Get them back together for a Luigi Mangione movie. And Keep Abel Ferrara on stand by.

Oh, fantastic news. Homicide: Life on The Street is streaming in Australia on SBS On Demand from mid January. www.alwaysbewatching.com/p/homicide-l...

Now watching…

What keeps me up at night is knowing I’m never going to be able to know what dodo tastes like.

On a streaming service, the most important and essential carousel is “LEAVING SOON”

Running a film festival that's just Caine Mutiny Court Martial and Juror #2 but instead of seats, we all get couches to lay on and both films play with commercial breaks

This guy stole Sylvester Stallone’s Oscar and he will never see heaven until he publicly hands it over
