I’m sorry, if your “podcast” has no audio-only component and is only on Netflix, in what way is it a “podcast”

Got myself a copy of Harold Becker's autobiography, hot off the presses. Looking forward to reading the chapters on Sea of Love and City Hall.

Screenwriter Austin Kolodney talks to me about writing Dead Man's Wire, the true-story of a hostage crisis in 1977. Austin also discusses what it was like writing new material for Al Pacino for the film: buff.ly/7KvxAEo

I had no idea that David Milch, co-creator of NYPD Blue and creator of Deadwood, had written a book. Getting stuck into this tonight.

GIANT is now in cinemas. I have a long rant about why this "boxing" film isn't about the subject matter it's supposedly be about, and why it's The Room of boxing films. Full review: bit.ly/4qKRapE

Many of my fellow film critics will tell you HAMNET is one of the most emotional and heart-breaking films ever. I am the dissenting voice. I found it incredibly boring and without any emotion. One of the drabbest films I've seen in a long time. My review here: bit.ly/4qKRapE

Film Recommendation of the Day: SUNSET BOULEVARD. 5:15pm on Sky Arts.

PREDATOR: BADLANDS is now on digital platforms. I think it's the best Predator sequel. My full review here: bit.ly/4qKRapE

Hilarious early work from Mike Leigh about a couple on a UK camping trip. Not to be missed and starting soon 👇

My film reviews this week include a story about the inspiration behind Shakespeare writing Hamlet, a sequel to a violent monster movie and a true-story about the rise of a British-Yemeni boxer. Listen here: bit.ly/4qKRapE #hamnet #predatorbadlands #giant

No comment on that last sentence 🤓😁

Gus Van Sant has a new movie, Dead Man's Wire. You probably haven't heard of it. But you should seek it out. It's a brilliant movie that speaks to where we are right now, but is also a worthy successor to the 70s classics it emulates. Funny, surprising, compassionate. Big screen if possible.

@alissawilkinson.bsky.social Hello Alissa, hope you are well? Would you be able to follow me back please? I'd like to DM you about a project I'm working on. Thank you. Mark.

absolute dogshit news. if you're unfamiliar with Tarr's work and need a place to start, I couldn't recommend Werckmeister Harmonies more - one of the most gorgeous bummers ever made.

I SWEAR is now on DVD and Blu-Ray. It's the incredible true story of a man living with Tourette's syndrome. It features a brilliant performance by Robert Aramayo in the lead role. My full review here: bit.ly/4aHd08W

SONG SUNG BLUE is now in cinemas. It's a true story that runs the gamut of emotions, and really is the perfect way to start 2026 with. My review here: bit.ly/4aHd08W

Many know Franc D'Ambrosio as the longest serving Phantom in the Phantom of the Opera. However, before that he got a big break in being cast as Anthony Corleone, Michael & Kay's son, in The Godfather Part III. He discusses that with me: buff.ly/QQrEUdc

Film Recommendation of the Day: FIELD OF DREAMS 6:50pm on ITV4.

PETER HUJAR'S DAY is now in UK cinemas. I found it a tough nut to crack when it came to understanding why and who and what. My full review here: bit.ly/4aHd08W

I'M CHEVY CHASE, AND YOU’RE NOT is an interesting doc as it's probably the most introspective we will ever hear/see from the man. It also gave me flashbacks to when I went to the "An Evening With Chevy Chase" in London back in 2018. The stuff of legends. It still haunts me.

My film reviews this week include a true story of Neil Diamond tribute act, a feature film based on a day's audio recording of an American Photographer and the real-life story of a British man with Tourette's syndrome. #songsungblue #peterhujarsday #iswear Listen here: bit.ly/4aHd08W

Just woke up and have seen at least three major outlets have spoilers in their social media posts. I've also seen several people posting the ending. Well done dickheads.
