I want to see this on the biggest screen I can. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBG2...

RIP to Mumbles’ finest. This is probably my favourite. One of her best and one of Steinman’s best too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXXi...

What an extraordinary work of art. Goodbye, Bonnie. Thank you for piloting Jim Steinman's wild rocket into the heart of the eclipse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcOx...

Look at that! Rez High's publicity art, for want of a better term. It's not really a cover, is it. Or a poster. Anyway, Rez High. What a great #audiodrama we made, eh? Are you listening? rustyquill.com/show/rez-high/

Scooby-Doo was used as a political football in parliament today. Have the BBC paid too much to license the show? In short, Sky want to monopolise imported shows. Of course they do. Their UK commissions, both good and bad, almost always seem to sink.

This week's Rez High is a heist story and I am very proud of it. The blurb says, 'The gang grapples with whether they are the good guys in the story as Jo-C gets tantilizingly closer to learning about History.' You can listen now via @rustyquill.com Early Access. www.patreon.com/rustyquill/p...

It's not called Clues in Sprues 2: Christmas Boogaloo and that's just one reason to love it.

I don't like Ray Griggs' politics at all and he's now shovelling out AI slop but a few years ago he had some very talented people at Weta work on this 'proof of concept' for a post-human adaptation of The Wind in the Willows. Kudos to the brilliant craftspeople. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj6K...

A lovely thing about this Best Canadian films list is that while I know and love loads (Ginger Snaps, The Silent Partner, I’ve Heard the Mermaids Singing, Cube, so many more) now I know to check out the rest. www.theglobeandmail.com/appview/cult...?

Whilst we're banging on our drum to get the BBC to mark the 50th anniversary of BBC Saturday Morning Television, here's how they marked the 20th anniversary back in 1996 with 'Multi-Coloured Saturdays'. Full programme at:➡️ youtu.be/VnI3gOLfNno

There's a lot to really love about Smoggie Queens - Dickie is a great sitcom monster, and who wouldn't want to have Mam in their life? - but perhaps the best of all is Sal. Patsy Lowe is quiet and bold and nails the laugh time and again.

Jackie Evans is doing a tour of the US and you should go - really, I think you should, if you at all can. I certainly would if I could. jackieevans.music

My friends and some of my family, Carole King, Stevie Wonder, Peanuts, The Beach Boys, Jim Henson, Kermit and Carl Barks' duck comics. If I had to choose? Um... the frog.

this remains one of my favorite headlines of all time

There's a part of me that wants to be in Hamburg today for Schlagermove. A part of me that probably needs a talking to. youtu.be/RW1CFK2n_b4?...

We went to see The Invite and laughed a lot. I haven't seen any of the other iterations but that seems like an interesting project.

Rez High episode 2: Class Action is available now everywhere you get podcasts, courtesy of @rustyquill.com. A big episode for fans of improvised onomatopoeia. With added @pipgladwin.bsky.social and @wetalkofdreams.bsky.social. shows.acast.com/neon-inkwell...

Twist? "You Maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you! God damn you all to hell!"

What's this Turpin thing, then? I'm intrigued. Our future James Bond (I said it) as a rebel outlaw. Also, it has Jemima Rooper in it and she's brilliant. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tdu...

What should I see, do or eat in Ely on a Saturday?

The new Bonfire of the Humanities single on Bandcamp, reworks a 1992 recording as 'truer to the song as it was originally conceived... incorporating casual references to Shakespeare, Hokusai and Debussy, with a big fat bassline strapped underneath.' bonfireofthehumanities.bandcamp.com/album/submerge

@frogalapeche.bsky.social Please make that joke every time.

I lost my cool about this on another social network. Just the sort of exploitation @writersguildgb.bsky.social are there to highlight and fight.

Colin From Accounts is almost back and... I don't understand the way this trailer has been cut, but still. More Colin. youtu.be/aoZKt2FEqyk?...

So, how come the only LEGO movie in the last five years was The LEGO Pharrell Williams Movie? (And hello if that's the first you've heard of that one.) Today's ramble is about what happened to all those other animated toy stories while Woody and Buzz came roaring back into cinemas.

A Scooby-Doo fan art piece I did on this day back in 2018. #ScoobyDoo

Listened to episode one on my walk today and it's so so great. Absolutely top notch voice acting and I loooove hearing those accents (we need more Northern English in our lives RIGHT NOW). Also again, what an amazing concept. I'm utterly invested.

Now on the BBC Sounds thing is Allegra Productions' radio drama version of Finn Family Moonintroll. Their fourth Moomin adaptation, I think? www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Superman Returns is apparently 20 years old today. I really like the model train disaster. More films need miniature cities in them.

Look and learn, Kevin Feige.

On #AudioDramaSunday I want to celebrate the release of Rez High. Not only a story about disability and accessibility, nostalgia and awful backwards-looking politics, the weirdness of school and terror of climate change, it's a sci-fi adventure show with funny bits. shows.acast.com/neon-inkwell...

Jim Henson's Labyrinth is 40 years old today. I love it. There's a lot going on, and you have to step forward to meet the film where it is, but there are multiple unruly imaginations pulling on every frame of the film. Strange magic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0K5...

"The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day..." 🪨 Happy 'The Lottery' Day! 🪨 The wonderful 1969 adaptation would be another prime candidate to see restored and bunged onto one of those premium Folk Horror boxsets... youtu.be/HZyhVg31iaQ?...

The end of an era - After almost a century we said goodbye this morning to our great companion of the airwaves Radio 4 198 LW. I shall miss her warmth and crackle. Here’s the final sign off at the end of #theshippingforecast before she fell silent… ❤️

Why does it never rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?

This trailer for Late Fame has increasted my desire to see the film (ie. did its job) more than any other trailer in living memory. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI_7...

Some lovely observations and insights from @lozzagilbert.bsky.social in this thread of posts about #RezHigh.

Throwback to the school days you remember seeing - on screen at least in this series from Brendon Connelly (who is a certified story ideas machine). The music design by Katie Seaton is so *chef's kiss* in capturing the exact vibe, you need to hear it for that alone.

Another Peanuts movie from the team who absolutely nailed it last time is finally coming next year.
