It was my grandest pleasure to guest once again on @dangrima92.bsky.social’s tremendous podcast Blind Spots, chatting with him and @whatsewanbrewin.bsky.social about the film I honestly feel is the greatest ever made: Carol Reed’s postwar thriller THE THIRD MAN! Enjoy!

The second @prestomit.bsky.social suggested this episode to me to get this classic crossed off my watchlist, I knew it had to happen at some point and man am I glad it did

New episode time! This week on Blind Spots, Dan is joined by returning guests Preston Mitchell (@prestomit.bsky.social) and Ewan Paterson (@whatsewanbrewin.bsky.social) to cross classic noir The Third Man from his own watchlist Link: shows.acast.com/blind-spots/...

Now up in the shop- one new new print and one old new print! (There are only 10 Xenomorphs left for pre-order!) www.brianna-ashby.com/new-products

I think there should probably/maybe be a serious conversation in professional media circles about ways of preventing regular abuse from random internet people towards their employees Just a thought!

Wait did I tell everyone here I got a sick af tattoo inspired by my favourite movie scene of all time? 🥹

These early Mando and Grogu reactions are so funny. "Yeah it's basically just the TV show and yeah it's got nothing going on but it's fun!!! Watch it in IMAX!!!"

Hater mode activated: I have people in the comments of today's video telling me i "haven't read a punisher comic before" and I'm like brother, I frankly wish that was the case. I would crave the sweet bliss of not knowing the stupid nuances of that character

Punisher One Last Kill high key one of the dumbest fucking things I've seen this year holy shit

Truly, profoundly gutted to hear of the passing of the great Tony Stella. A watercolour maestro 💔

R.I.P. to the great Tony Stella, a friend and inspiration. This is devastating

Friends! Amigos! I have cool news!! I've programmed two (yes, TWO) movies to be screened as part of the Star and Shadow Cinema's summer movie season in June and July! First up is To Live and Die in L.A. on June 4, and Streets of Fire on July 10. Links in the follow up post 😎

RIGHT. Catch up. Here's all the cool shit I've been doing at WhatCulture that you may have missed (thread)

Folks please remind me to come here more often I've done SO MUCH over the last several months and I haven't posted a gyad-dayum thing about any of it!! Aarrgghhh!!!

Cherish and safely store every Warner Bros. movie you own, especially the ones that weren't hits

Once in a blue moon bluesky post to say I've somehow gotten back into comics again and it's Daniel Warren Johnson's fault

Bonus new episode time! This week on Blind Spots, Dan is once again joined by Max Deering (@odstspartan.bsky.social) and Ewan Paterson (@whatsewanbrewin.bsky.social) to look back at 2025 Link: shows.acast.com/blind-spots/...

Merry Christmas limbo everyone!! Happy to report it's another year around the sun where I have become even more insufferable and powerful 😎😎😎 see ya next year!!

If they don't put Fode and Beed in the new Star Wars podracing game then what's the point

One of my favourite local businesses just shut down permanently today and WAHHH it's not fair I am gonna be mourning this loss forever

Not logged in here for months and after scrolling for a minute I'm already exhausted 😭 not cut out for this social media malarkey anymore 💔

Congratulations, David Zaslav, on being the most destructive force in US entertainment in the entire history of show business

Happiness is a new John Carpenter 4K on your doorstep 🥰

Intruder (1989) - oh my god... hidden gem or what? So much fun. Delicious vibes. Gorgeously shot. Go in blind if you can (don't look up any posters!) and soak up the slasher goodness

GDT's Frankenstein - full thoughts coming on WhatCulture Horror later but I found it to be such a frustrating mixed bag. Some bizarre expansions on Shelley's text that end up distracting from the timelessness of its central throughline, and I Simply Have No Idea what Oscar Isaac was doing either

Ok it's actually a bit ridiculous how much you can track my own mental wellbeing based on how many movies I've been watching (hint: September was BAAAD lmao)

Cursed streaming service update: just tried to watch Lair of the White Worm on Jeff Bezos' clown machine and it's legit just playing The Limey. Like, I love The Limey, but uhhh, where's the worm 😭

May or may not have partaken in a new Benoit Blanc mystery last night 🔪

Funky pants era is here

Thought Play Dirty was better than I feared it would be but also the only thing more jarring than Mark Wahlberg as Parker is a Parker movie that has a car chase in an electric SUV

That time of year where I look at any frame from Carnival of Souls and ascend to another plane of existence

Tired but alive!! God bless the one part of my living room with good lighting

Some Tuesday nights are for taking stock of how far you've come and having a bit of a cry about it, I suppose 🥹

Disney are utterly shameless dropping that trailer holy shit

Anyway

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

Quick update for why I haven't been so active on here lately - and just a heads up that I'm ok! - my nan passed away last month and an abundance of life stuff has come up in and around it. I'm still out here, and feel *so* much better than I was last year, but social media isn't taking up my time rn

Got a cheeky Amazon voucher to blow today! Can't decide between getting The Man from Laramie or The Swimmer on Blu-ray (both new watches). Help, amigos!

Has enough time passed to say that the new Letterboxd app is bad

I hope I don't sound naïve here, but I don't think this project to turn Charlie Kirk into a combination of Mr. Rogers and Gandhi is going to work

It's not lost on me in the midst of this eulogizing and memorializing a monster that my home state, Florida, has made it a crime to commemorate or remember the victims of the Pulse massacre. In America, only some deaths are considered grievable. The rest of us are just "collateral damage."

Volunteering at my local community cinema/cafe and I gotta tell ya... this is wonderful

Going to find the man who invented "queueing at the bar" and have A Word with him

Been a hot minute since I last visited High Plains Drifter and I gotta tell ya - this is pure celluloid wrath and death and it's the best.

Worth remembering that Terence Stamp was the son of a ship's stoker. Stamp desperately wanted to act, after falling in love with movies as a kid, and it was a scholarship to Drama School that allowed him to walk that path. Every time arts cuts are made, they rob us of more Terence Stamps.

Hi!! I've done a Big Vid on the joys of physical media and the little rituals that go into fostering a connection with The Movies for @whatculture.bsky.social (Ft a lot of gushing over @arrowvideo.bsky.social, @secondsightfilms.bsky.social and @88films.bsky.social!) Link 👇 youtu.be/BndowGhDzgE?...

New episode time! This week on Blind Spots, Action August is back as Dan is joined by Ewan Paterson (We Love Dad Movies, @whatsewanbrewin.bsky.social) to talk 70's action movie Walking Tall Link: shows.acast.com/blind-spots/...

I'm absolutely horrific at checking this thing lmao How is everyone?? I'm still alive etc.
