My Patreon podcast UNTITLED HORROR SCREENPLAY has a bumper new episode today. I'm looking into The Living Dream: films in which dream-world & real world have become inextricably entangled There's a long discussion of Jacob's Ladder, then in the second half I pitch a new movie idea in the same genre

And on the subject of #realartatters: AI poisoning tool NIGHTSHADE is now free for artists to use: venturebeat.com/ai/nightshad...

October 26th! I'm teaching another zoom class for @radiobootcamp.bsky.social. Walking through the whole process of making longform audio. If you're interested in starting a career in podcasts, this is the place to learn a lot, quick. This class always sells out! radiobootcamp.org/classes/how-...

Maybe the real Ship of Theseus was the Ship of Theseus we made along the way

Hey! Our piece #souvenirs is being broadcast on BBC Radio 4 tomorrow, 22 July at 4pm UK time (also available on the internet for a while thereafter), I’d love for you to listen! Especially if you enjoy tales of hurt feelings & petty revenge.

New episode of Imaginary Advice out today! Another anthology episode: two stories and an essay. It was originally called SHIP OF THESEUS but I've rewritten this thing so many times who knows what to call it anymore 🤡 on.soundcloud.com/sf5qGCd7p4vC...

Predator is an almost-perfect film, failed only by the fact the predator never hunts by sampling/ replaying one of shane black's big pussy jokes

At the heart of what we do remains a belief in radio's imaginative possibilities - audio that can reconfigure the world around us & sink into our dreams. Dip into our archive of nearly 900 audio docs here www.fallingtree.co.uk/our-archive/

Those Final Destination films always get under my skin & I think it's because I live in a small badly made house crammed with terribly made products & I 100% believe the deregulation/ enshittification of capitalism will eventually cross a threshold & turn my home into a rube goldberg murder machine

BATTLE BAR FOR SALE Known for my skill when I rap on these tracks / You're over the Hill like you're Yakety Sax

I am available for hire and my rates are extremely reasonable

Out now on the Imaginary Advice podcast: the first half of THEY WILL / THEY WON'T, an audio-fiction series I wrote in collaboration with @joedunthorne.bsky.social Joe and I took turns writing chapters. Joe had to bring the two characters together. I had to break them apart youtu.be/ebbNSubXSOw?...

Baby, just born: waah waah New dads in 2007: I cant wait to show them the twist ending of Bioshock

Maybe I'm just having a tough morning with my toddler but Pingu is a tragic character & I think we all failed him

The Minecraft/Chicken Jockey thing is nothing new. In the UK in the 90s, we all went to see The English Patient & when Ralph Fiennes said "a thing is still a thing no matter what you place in front of it" we all jumped up & started beating the shit out of each other, braying like sex-mad donkeys

Pleased to announce my new #audiofiction miniseries THEY WILL / THEY WON'T is an official selection at Tribeca this year. Both parts will be hosted on my Imaginary Advice podcast. First part released May 12th. Then the concluding part comes out on Jun 9th, during the festival.

Is it a new podcast episode? Is it an experiment to determine the horrific effects of sleep deprivation upon the human brain? Yes. RULE OF THIRDS is out today: a collection of four short audio-fictions made by a man too tired to know how to end this sentence on.soundcloud.com/wkuad3BqDAdi...

For the past 4 months I've been developing horror film treatments for my Patreon-only podcast UNTITLED HORROR SCREENPLAY. Each treatment is loosely adapted from an existing one-location movie. For the next 30 days my Patreons can vote for which story I develop further... patreon.com/rossgsutherl...

Hello BlueSky. Just letting you know there's a new episode of Imaginary Advice out today. THE TUNNEL OF LOVE features a guest story from Tim Harding, plus a new story from me x soundcloud.com/ross-sutherl...

The goddamn self control required to not sarcastically yell "oooooh!" whenever a teenager rides past me doing a wheelie

So, The Gladiators reboot is now they have one nice gladiator & 15 Wolfs

The Generative AI Con

My documentary INFINITE SCROLL is being repeated on Radio 4 tonight at 11:30pm. It's a story about sleepless nights, phone addiction & falling into infinite space. Perfect listening for lying wide-eyed in bed, having a nervous breakdown. Enjoy! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

I've been on a scifi kick this month. Possibly my favourite find so far is THE MAN IN MY HEAD: a British TV movie from 1971 (originally broadcast as part of BBC's Out of the Unknown series). archive.org/details/1-de...

Cool cool glad to hear it

Don't call it a relapse: Imaginary Advice returns for 2025 with a new format. For the next few months, I'll be using the show to collect together lots of short pieces (flash fiction, sketches, disjecta membra). First of these anthologies out today... soundcloud.com/ross-sutherl...

Uh oh. New episode out Monday

Dammit I really need to stop mixing up my cat's name and my son's name before one of them gets smart enough to notice

Currently on my Patreon podcast, I'm taking famous films and reimagining them as horror movies. This month I took Alain Renais' new wave masterpiece LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD & recycled it into a movie about being chased by cavemen on the London Underground www.imaginaryadvice.com/untitledhorr...

Theres a bit of one of my poems on the wall of Peterborough Lido. If Gary Oldman blows a guy's head off in front of it I will be an AppleTV subscriber for life

Just discovered you can get a free ride out of a Hello Kitty Rock'Em car by switching it off & on at the plug & I think this might be my supervillain origin story

Trying to explain to my 1yr old why we can't watch the Frog and Toad cartoon on Apple+ cos it's rendered in 48fps & "moves like ass". He's not getting it.

"Jay can I leave you in charge of the backdrop for our new Paddington bench display?" "Yep" "Great Just paint something vaguely Paddington-y. You know, something that adds a bit of additional story to the bench." "Yep" "Amazing. I'm off on holiday so can't wait to see what you've done when I return"

Honoured to have an episode of Imaginary Advice on the Unreality feed this week. If you've never heard my podcast, this is a good primer episode - a man with a penchant for comically reinterpreting the theme of fancy dress parties ushers in the end of the world audioboom.com/posts/863708...

Just a heads-up that Swedish ultra-metal band Morbid are playing in London on the same night as a once-in-a-millenia planetary alignment. So be wary of fiends, hell-witches, portals to the abyss, etc, in the tufnell park area

It's @allusionistshow.bsky.social's tenth birthday live show today at 2pm; come along, Vancouver! riotheatretickets.ca/events/33395...

Living in a small house with a cat & a toddler is like living inside an extremely scary pinball machine

Hopefully in the series finale of Slow Horses, the whole thing will come full circle & they'll track down and arrest the guy who sings the theme tune

If I see a baby in a button-down shirt, I'm going to assume the parents are psychopaths.

Didn't see many new films this year but here are my highlights (in no order) Kinds of Kindness The Beast Red Rooms Rebel Ridge Conclave Rap World I Saw the TV Glow

OK here’s a thread of all the stories I produced this year. Almost all of this stuff is completely free and online. No joke, this has been 100% the hardest year of my life. but also I think I made some of my best stuff ever. Go figure.

Can't believe it's taken me this long to realise those "Share your Porn Star name" posts from 20 years ago were actually phishing scams for security info
