I just read a review for a 2019 film that simply said 'still holds up years later'. 2019. Jesus wept.

I hadn't originally intended to watch a trilogy of films directed by George Clooney but by the third film choice I thought I may as well make it a hat trick.

It's been the 21st Anniversary of 'Look Around You 2' and yesterday was the anniversary of Ep4 'Food' which reminded me of a track I did in 2013 which featured clips from it. You'll be glad to hear my cooking has improved - although I've not yet made casserole. gingenie.bandcamp.com/track/cookin...

Just check out that line-up!

Come down to this next Friday! I'm part of a cracking line-up of Character comics - And it's dirt cheap too! wegottickets.com/event/692441/

Yes it's 🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞cake Day! m.youtube.com/watch?v=gj_a...

Uh-oh indeed! I'm bringing some new character comedy to a place that genuinely appears to be named Shoreditch Balls. Friday 27th Feb - Come on down and join in the fun/balls!

Oh God, please stop using generative AI to make your caricatures. Do you not understand that it a) is stealing from other human artists, b) is harming the planet, and c) looks nothing like you? It's total shit. Please, don't give these tech billioniares the satisfaction by engaging with it.

Isolation Cinema for the end of never-ending January.

Hm. 'Imagination'. Good one.

This is what I have been doing these last few months. I have been audio producer for MGC's inaugural podcast series! It's been brilliant! Such a lovely team and the podcast is fascinating. Do give it a listen because I'm very proud to have been a part of it! 🎉🎧🎭 theatreweekly.com/mgcfutures-l...

We're delighted to share the next set of guests with you. Keep a close eye for further details and until then, you have one hell of a back catalogue to trawl through for those commutes, dinner preparations, and times where you want to feel like there are other people in the room with you. Enjoy!

Reluctant to put an exact date on it just yet but the S5 Part 2 will start to be released at the end of Feb! #Comedy #Podcast #Sketch #Character #Improv #Clown #Conversations #NewEpisodes

Brilliant @soozuk.bsky.social belting it out at Royal Vauxhall Tavern last night! 👏🥂🎉🎤

Deeply shocked and saddened to learn we've lost Catherine O'Hara. The outpouring of love has been beautiful though. Everyone loved her. So many brilliant characters in film & TV. When once asked 'Which role would you most liked to be remembered for?' She replied 'Mother of my children'. R.I.P. 😢

What's this? It's the first Isolation Cinema post of 2026! Here is a selection of films over the last few weeks which have been added to the library. If you're wondering why there's so few in 3 weeks, there have been a lot of re-watches.

Everything about this show is beautiful and truly magnificent! I saw it last night and I cannot recommend it enough. It will put such a smile on your face. It is a little piece of magic. Also, these were £68 seats for £28 on TodayTix. Incredible! 🤩 #MyNeighbourTotoro

Surely I'm not the only one who thinks, at first glance, that the image on the Difflam Spray is E.T...

Please tell me people aren't feeling nostalgic about 2016. Do they not remember what happened that year? Do they not remember it?!?!?

OH MY GOD! Fucking Incredible! You have to see NATALIE PALAMIDES 'WEER', it is a work of ART! 😱👏

Ah, my Mutantes! As January's chill wind creeps icily onto your particulars, fireworks light up the sky like a thousand burning pigeons and the firm pillow of 2026 rises triumphantly from the face of 2025, we must say thank you. (1/2)

It seems mad, since I've lived in the area for so long, that I never once ventured to find the street and house from 'Shaun of the Dead'. So today I did just that and I found it! 🏏🧟

Happy Gruyère!!! 🎉🧀🥖🍇🥂 Okay, Gruyère isn't featured but it's the only one that works as a pun and that's all that really matters. Goodnight! X

🎉🍾🎧🥸🩵

Isolation Cinema 2025 Round-up! As I say every year, the order isn't entirely set in stone because frankly I find it so difficult to 'officially' rank films, same with star ratings. Anyway, here are my Top 10 of this year. 198 films in total. Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin...

Here it is - the final Isolation Cinema line-up of 2025 - and they can all be found on iPlayer. Sex, guns and family business. Happy Betwixtmas!

I was very fortunate to meet Tom back in 2014 when he very kindly agreed to meet me for coffee and a chat. Since then we have continued to keep in touch. I was thrilled that he agreed to come on the podcast. Also, The Ballad Of Wallis Island is one of the best films I saw this year!

'Fans of the occult!'

Fun fact for today: 'Some Like It Hot' when translated directly from it's Spanish title becomes 'With Skirts, It's Already Crazy'.

Isolation Cinema post-Christmas Day which comprised of three animated films which all turned out to be much better than I had anticipated.

Did I just spend the whole day binge-watching the entire 'Celebrity Traitors' from start to finish? Yes. Yes, I did. It's been emotional.

Merry Christmas everyone! There was an actual news story this morning about how the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience have discovered that laughing after telling a cracker joke makes it funnier for everyone else. I.e. laughter is infectious. And they even gave us this diagram to prove it. 🎅🎄☃️🥂❤️

Look what SNL did, the little jerks! m.youtube.com/watch?v=ug44...

THAW OF THE WORLDS - OUT (S)NOW! ❄️ @terrortapespod.bsky.social @weirdwyrdweird.bsky.social @odinnoh.bsky.social @theydyamelia.bsky.social www.ramonfear.com/episodes/spe...

Had my annual watch of 'Love Actually' last night and had NEVER noticed this inside the DVD case before. From 2004!! Does anyone here remember - or better yet, did anyone here ever TRY - Friends Reunited Dating?

Delighted to present to you our brand new Christmas story! I loved making this one! Have a listen and enjoy the absolute stupid festive nonsense of it all! LET IT SNOW!!!

I first met Michelle when I went to see an improv graduation show and she stood out by a mile. Then I saw her in her hilarious sketch act SHIPS. Michelle is an incredible polymath - she acts, writes, improvises, produces and directs, and does all of them brilliantly! I always enjoy working with her!

Technically THIS week! Get ready for the Christmas FEAR!

'Bursting with opportunity!' God I wish I could have been there.

Well it's too late to change the line-up now. "I have never behaved inappropriately towards anybody at my publishers." "So David, was it the truth or were you telling a lie?"

The annual Christmas Fear is on its way. HO HO HOOAAAARGGHHHHH!!!

So despite saying I was plunging headfirst into Christmas territory with the Isolation Cinema, here is a set of films I saw earlier in the month (discounting many of my annual re-watches) where only 1 out of 3 are actually festive.

It was an absolute pleasure getting to chat to Marcus about his sketch and character work. His passion and love for all things comedy is bound to bring you some cheer and put you in the holiday spirit (and God knows we all need a bit of that right now). Enjoy!

Tweet of the year (if tweets are still a thing)!!! 🤣🤣🤣

I first met The Sugdens when they came to a panel talk I was on at the London Podcast Festival back in 2017. They deserve every bit of success that comes their way because, apart from being undeniably hard-working, they are just the loveliest pair and I'm delighted to be able to call them friends.

R.I.P. Rob Reiner. Absolutely horrible what's happened 🥺. A cinematic visionary responsible for making some of the best titles ever committed to film. He didn't just stick to one genre - you have 'When Harry Met Sally' and 'This Is Spinal Tap' but you also have 'A Few Good Men' and 'Misery'. (1/2)

Incredible! 🎉🎂😊

I cannot emphasise enough how much I loved THE WILD ROBOT. This film is fantastic on so many levels, it'll make you laugh yourself stupid one moment and shed buckets of tears the next. A beautiful superbly-written story accompanied by a talented voice cast. Highly recommend!

I hadn't properly spoken to Hannah or Fiona since they made their C&P Radio 4 series so it was super to have the two of them guest on the pod. Check it out - it's the ideal remedy!
