🚨🚨 CHARLES BRONSON SQUAD ASSEMBLE! My favourite CB film Rider on the Rain has just been announced on 4k from our mates at Kino Lorber. Includes a new audio commentary by myself and @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social (our 45th together, for those keeping count!) 🚨🚨 LONG LIVE FRENCH-ERA CHARLES BRONSON!

If you grab the recent Arrow blu of HOUSE WITH LAUGHING WINDOWS that I was lucky enough to help curate critical extras for, you get my + @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social's audio commentary, essays from @willowcatelyn.bsky.social @antbit.projectedfigures.com + @bavalamp.bsky.social and lots, lots more!

One of the funniest people to ever walk this earth. This is bullshit.

A thoroughly devastating and incomprehensible loss. (At a time of daily horrors this one hits even harder). Genuinely difficult to imagine our screens without O’Hara’s vibrant glow.

Awesome to see this announced! I contributed a booklet essay about the score and Jerry Goldsmith’s collaborations with Joe Dante

Hate nazis? Love horror on the high seas? A fan of George Kennedy, Dick Crenna & Nick Mancuso? Well have I got the film (and audio commentary with @horrornonna.com) for you…

I share a deep passion for boat horror with @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social, and we were so tickled to get to do an audio commentary for Death Ship together!

Look I know there's a lot on right now, but Kino Lorber just announced a 4k release of Alvin Rakoff's classic 1980 Nazi ghost ship banger DEATH SHIP, which includes an audio commentary by myself and @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social, and another by the fabulous @paulcorupe.bsky.social. On pre-order now!

Behold, the Sword of Power! Excalibur! For anyone waiting for things from me, this is why: my brain has been consumed by John Boorman and Excalibur, both of them dear to my heart. The restoration is stunning, and finally presents the film in the right aspect ratio on home video... 🧵1/8

Damn @arrowvideo.bsky.social did you have to go so hard with THE HOUSE WITH LAUGHING WINDOWS? Look at this! Last time I saw this movie was a mostly pink, faded and battered 35mm print. Excited to see it in 4K (and with a commentary by @horrornonna.com and @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social 🤌🏼)!

All you need to make a movie is: - a gun and a girl - a boy and his dog - a ghost and their house - a doomed documentary crew and their project - Charles Bronson

“But you didn’t have to cut me up, make out like a God but leave me without a companion…”

BRAZIL! The commentary I recorded for Kindergarten Cop with my film-brother @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social has been translated for this new blu-ray release from the team at Colecione Classicos, now on pre-order! Big thanks to @joaomennabarreto.bsky.social ❤️ www.colecioneclassicos.com.br/dyvwodopj

Such sad news. Struzan WAS film art for me growing up. A few years back I splashed out on a GOONIES poster signed by Drew that now hangs in pride of place in my office. Feels even more precious today. He was truly iconic. Vale sir.

Absolute legend. But really, *those* are the movies we're naming? She won an Oscar for ANNIE HALL and more than held her own with an all-star cast in the GODFATHER films.

Now on pre-order! The UK blu-ray of Alexandre Philippe's Venice award-winning doc CHAIN REACTIONS is live. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Texas Chain Saw Massacre, it features Stephen King, Takashi Miike, Patton Oswalt, Karyn Kusama + your girl right here! www.amazon.co.uk/Chain-Reacti...

My (younger) sister just watched DELIVERANCE for the first time and wasn’t impressed. In other news, I now have no sister.

I've been sitting on this one for a while, but I am SO PROUD to have helped co-produce the critical extras and provide a brand new audio commentary (with @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social) for Arrow's spectacular brand new 4k release of Pupi Avati's iconic 1976 giallo THE HOUSE WITH LAUGHING WINDOWS 🏠🤣🔪🎨

Just read a review of my commentary track on COBRA (with @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social) that described it as "prepared, but with off-the-cuff wisecracks". This is what I want on my tombstone.

“It’s ridiculous. You can’t go around firing somebody because you’re fearful or trying to suck up to an authoritarian criminal administration in the Oval Office, that’s just not how this works.” deadline.com/2025/09/davi...

DC Comics is happy to make money off various abusive writers and artists... but not a trans woman who was mean about someone who hated her and everyone like her.

Get in losers, we MODERN GIRLS fans are gonna unionize - CC @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social and @bobfreelander.bsky.social

A joy to co-produce this with Neil, includes critical extras from the dream team of @priscillapage.bsky.social @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social @brndnstrssng.bsky.social and Chris Alexander, with art by @pye.bsky.social 💜

"You've been fired. We're just using AI for this matte painting now."

I bet Cameron wouldn't have said this back in the days when he *was* a visual effects artist on other people's films.

Full views of that awesome art by @pye.bsky.social

New interviews with dir. Peter Hyams, DP Stephen Goldblatt and Vis FX supervisor William Mesa plus new extras from @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social and @hsberger.bsky.social. Written essays by @priscillapage.bsky.social and @brndnstrssng.bsky.social. Gorgeous new art by @pye.bsky.social

www.arrowfilms.com/p/17374698 new work alert from me and @horrornonna.com and the fine folks at Arrow! OUTLAND new 4K restoration.

[DON'T LOOK NOW] The [sex scene] is consistent with the whole premonitory scheme of the film, and it also relates to the way eroticism is displaced throughout; dressing is splintered and sensualized, like fear and death—death most of all, with splashes of red. (1973)

I have an essay on the @arrowvideo.bsky.social release from ENEMY TERRITORY.

...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL won't make you feel better about the state of the 🌏 or the problems it was already pointing out in '79 but it's a great film & @indicator.bsky.social's Blu-ray is A+ (especially @horrornonna.com & @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social's commentary). REVIEW: comicon.com/2025/08/22/y...

Award winning British thriller ‘Derelict’ from director Jonathon Zaurin now available to order on Blu-Ray from @101filmsuk.bsky.social bit.ly/3HL2X6v #Derelict #101Films

It’s Robert Mitchum’s birthday. Anthony Hopkins: ‘Preminger bullied Jean Simmons whilst making Angel Face. Robert Mitchum had to slap her face & was made to do it repeatedly. Mitchum went over & slapped Preminger hard in the face. ‘You mean like that?’ He stopped it.’

John Huston would’ve turned 119 today. The legend lives on…

Empire Pictures classic ENEMY TERRITORY (1987) hits disc today! Featuring mine and @snipsmovies.bsky.social’s commentary with helmer Peter Manoogian and a whole heap of other cool extras, including another ace yack-track by @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social and liner notes by @paulle.bsky.social!

Great review of the upcoming @arrowvideo.bsky.social blu-ray release of the Peter Manoogian directed ENEMY TERRITORY by David Brook for Blueprint Review. Long lost in the VHS wilderness, now stunningly remastered and out next week! blueprintreview.co.uk/2025/06/enem...

Our TALES OF ADVENTURE - COLLECTION 7 (1924 - 1961) contains three iterations of the beloved folklore tale, One Thousand and One Nights. 🌙 • The Thief of Bagdad (1924) • The Thief of Bagdad (1940) • The Thief of Baghdad (1961) 1500 copies only. 📀 Order now from imprintfilms.com.au.

Sad news. Long before her vocal fame Laine had an uncredited role (street urchin) in the Korda produced THE THIEF OF BAGDAD (1940). Was only just singing her praises as the film’s surviving cast member (Glynis Johns died at 100 last year) in a soon-to-be-released audio commentary for the film. #vale

Michael Powell on wanting to cast Liza Minnelli as a koala in a big screen musical adaptation of Norman Lindsay’s THE MAGIC PUDDING. “Screw that”, she said. “Who would want to see me and a lousy bunch of Australian animals?”.

Nice mention of the commentary track that @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social and I did for Arrow's release of the see-it-to-believe-it COBRA: "Nelson and Pedler deliver an informative commentary track that includes some truly wonderful quotes from critics and excerpts from various articles on the film."

Honoured to have my video essay "Head case: final girls, fabulism and amour fou in Alexandre Aja’s High Tension" included in this fantastic four-film NEW EXTREMITY COLLECTION VOLUME 1 from @umbrellaent.bsky.social (out today) shop.umbrellaent.com.au/products/new...

Contributing to this release was a genuine ‘pinch me’ thrill. Can’t thank Neil enough for bringing me on board. The remaster is mind-blowingly good. I had to cram two commentaries worth of material onto one track but I reckon I did this life-long fave and long-underappreciated gem justice. 🌆🩸

Features a wonderful new commentary by @snipsmovies.bsky.social & @mattybudrewicz.bsky.social with director Peter Manoogian, plus fantastic new interviews with DP Ernest Dickerson and star Gary Frank, and a second superb commentary by film scholar/superfan @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social

new art by Laurie Greasley and new booklet essays by @paulle.bsky.social and @mdconterio.bsky.social. I'm really not kidding when I say that after years of only seeing this in VHS quality, watching the remaster was like seeing a whole new movie.

New Work! Fans of the Enter the Video Store box set should love this under appreciated Empire Pictures gem. First time on Blu, the new remaster is a revelation. Available for pre-order from @arrowvideo.bsky.social

Norman Jewison's AND JUSTICE FOR ALL is like the final episode of Seinfeld if it was a late 70s legal drama with a hot bespectacled Al Pacino giving the best speech of his career. Pumped that @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social and I were invited to do a commentary for this upcoming release from Indicator!

The last couple of minutes of @horrornonna.com and ‪@joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social's commentary for Indicator's upcoming The Taming of the Shrew is now right up there with my favourite commentary endings. (It's not all like this, by the way - the rest is admirably scholarly and informative.) ‬

A joy to co-produce this with Neil! Thanks @priscillapage.bsky.social @clembastow.bsky.social @martynpedler.com @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social @annodracula.bsky.social @williambibbiani.bsky.social @archivistariel.bsky.social @filmsonwax.bsky.social @mdconterio.bsky.social @annodracula.bsky.social 🖤
