An absolute favourite bit of lunancy. Some people dancing to incidental music from The Moonbase in 1966.

Like the Beatles song goes, "everybody had a hard year". Here's to a bigger and better 2026 💚

Jools’ Hootenanny or Ronan Keating & Friends?

'To all the devils, lusts, passions, greeds, envys, loves, hates, strange desires, enemies ghostly and real, the army of memories, with which I do battle – may they never give me peace.' A New Year's Toast, written by Patricia Highsmith in her diary on this day in 1947.

Top Of The Box Vol. 2 - the story behind every album released by BBC Records And Tapes. No, genuinely. I listened to them all. Even the one that's just bells. Paperback (15% off code CHEERS15) or Kindle from here. timworthington.org/books/top-of...

Please listen to Absent Friends on BBC Radio 4 Extra today. Part One is 4.45pm (repeated at 0045) and Part Two is the same time tomorrow. It’s my acknowledgment of various folk from UK sci-fi, horror and fantasy who died this year. 4 Extra doesn’t do many home made productions, so do tune in!

The spy who tolerated me

Imagine being so solitary and sad that parts of yesterday were still spent online low-level trolling his "enemies". Still, it keeps him happy when clearly nothing else does. www.youtube.com/watch?v=snoj...

Best of seasons... greetings… for the… New year….Welcoming you into… 1990.

This year I only wrote one full length article for We Are Cult but it was a banger and I'm very pleased with it so thought I'd give it another share for the cineastes among you. Merry Christmas cultists! I’ll Be Your Mirror: Fedora and Sunset Boulevard wearecult.rocks/ill-be-your-...

The new BBC Ghost Story For Christmas is an adaptation of EF Benson’s The Room In The Tower… and it’s a classic of the form! Big recommendation: it has a neatly constructed plot, deeply ominous vibes and a very sinister Joanna Lumley. Be sure to check it out at 10pm on BBC2, on Christmas Eve. ❄️ 👻

New piece, Ce n'est pas un comédien, going up on my Not A Blog later this afternoon. Not about Drum as such but a bit of local colour and context, where I'm coming from, so to speak.

Keep it classy, We Are Cult readers ;-)

✨ OUT NOW! ✨ Paul McGann, Nicola Walker and Hattie Morahan star in The Eighth Doctor Adventures: Empty Vessels, featuring the return of shape-shifting aliens the Zygons, released today exclusively from @bigfinish.bsky.social 👇 wearecult.rocks/the-eighth-d...

I haven't blogged for ages, so I wrote far too many words about something that happened 40 years ago, and which nobody outside of America cares about.

Your reminder that this is the same Eoghan Lyng who's used Bluesky to post Divine videos as a transphobic attack on a former colleague, criticised other people's writing as poor quality, and called Real Gone "absolute horseshit". #Hypocrisy

This piece of helpful advice comes from the person who has previously sent emails calling people "a prize shit" and "cunt", called an ex colleage "a shit hack", and openly referred to Real Gone as "absolute horseshit" on social media. Hypocrisy - and this early on a Monday too!

@wearecultonline.bsky.social This would have been the first time I saw War of The Worlds, I think, and possibly the Dr. Who film.

Wild how after all these decades, when I read this summary of a run of old movies shown when I was 9, I've crystal clear memories of which ones I saw at the time (Inv From Mars, Worlds Collide, Forbidden Planet, Silent Running, War of the Worlds, first re-watch of Dalek's' In:vasion, Stood Still)

Memory lane!

What a blast from the past! 🌌 "Stranger Things" taps into nostalgia while exploring the unknown. As Arthur C. Clarke said, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." 🪐📚 #SciFiMagic

If there is anyone here with a slightly deeper connection to the universe than me, please pipe up with suggested reasons why Never Ever by All Saints has been following me around EVERYWHERE for the last ~10 days. I’ve heard it played or referenced in disparate random places at least 3 times a day.

I appeared on Canadian Youtube channel 'Tim's Vinyl Confessions' where the host Tim Durling and I chat about our favourite Queen books and other parts of Queen history. Enjoy! @oiqfc.bsky.social @wearecultonline.bsky.social youtu.be/sg4xQKT37qk?...

Watching The Android Invasion and contemplating whether Guy Crayford is the only character in all of Who to boast of drinking his own piss.

A new submission from @daveofandrozani.bsky.social recently landed in my inbox! Don't forget the book he and I put together, A Kind Of Magic: A Freddie Mercury & Queen Anthology is still available from Amazon and will make the perfect Christmas present for the Queen fan in your life 👑

Had a really productive week, so am giving myself the afternoon off. Just watched 'Beach Party' (1963), a film so of-its-time and so silly, it makes Elv's 'Easy Come, Easy Go' seem quite sophisticated. Will I be watching the first sequel this evening? You can bet on it. #FilmSky
