Wrote some words for @moviemarker.bsky.social about Iron Lung. Why not take a look at them? (A big thanks to @darrylgriffiths.bsky.social for his help and seeing this as worth publishing!) www.moviemarker.co.uk/iron-lung-%E...

FINALLY recorded a new podcast episode! (Hopefully going up Monday, it’s a rather great conversation).

Doesn’t matter how many times I’ve spoken to a person, how informal and relaxed the conversation has been, I will still send the most formal, apologetic, anxiety-ridden emails possible.

Released a small ramble podcast to break up the much-longer-than-hoped-for gap between regular episodes. Just a handful of recommendations of self-care examples and creativity I’ve been recently struck by. open.spotify.com/episode/0MIL...

Going over my notes from the LFF screening of Hamlet last year and it took me two notes/ sentences to quote Phoenix Buchanan. "Oh, be quiet Hamlet. You are your dreary conscience."

Always a pleasure to join Jamie and run down the best films of the year!

If you missed Wednesday’s review of the year show with the ever-wonderful @tomjbeasley.bsky.social you can listen to the fully edited and compiled countdown of our respective top tens right here. justalittlebitrandom.blog/2026/01/09/j...

Finally here, the Just A Little Bit Random audience's top ten films of 2025! justalittlebitrandom.blog/2026/01/08/j...

Finally getting round to some nice, light viewing

First show of the year tomorrow, and it's become one of my annual favourites as I once again sit down with @tomjbeasley.bsky.social to count down, and occasionally disagree with, our respective top ten films of the previous year. Live from 5-8pm, www.somervalleyfm.co.uk

Just a couple of days left to vote for your film of 2025. While first place is very much ahead there's just a few votes separating the rest of the current audience top ten. Details on how to vote below. justalittlebitrandom.blog/2025/12/26/j...

Truly bleak…

Obligatory gratitude thread: Just wanted to quickly highlight three things that I did this year with a couple of thank yous as well.

Monday night, I’m back at The Little Theatre in Bath to introduce the final films in Picturehouse’s ‘Lynchspirations’ season. 8 1/2 (17:10) and Inland Empire (19:40). Tickets are available here - www.picturehouses.com/cinema/littl...

On your radio tomorrow with a special Christmas Day story. One with a title that clearly angered quality control and the promotional team so much they’ve resorted to shouting in all-caps.

Happy Christmas one and all! May your days be as pleasant and peaceful as that of an innocent nun out for a pleasure cruise.

Just your annual reminder that @thewurzels.bsky.social’s Christmas Album should be as much an annual festive staple as The Muppet Christmas Carol.

5pm on Thursday, my annual Christmas message. Shaping up to be a good one this year.

The Alternative Christmas Film Advent Calendar returns to look at a selection of festive heist films! With Dick Van Dyke having recently turned 100, this year things kick off with 1967’s Fitzwilly. justalittlebitrandom.blog/2025/12/18/a...

My annual Alternative Christmas Film Advent Calendar returns tomorrow for another year! Why not revisit last year’s selection of festive documentaries beforehand? justalittlebitrandom.blog/tag/alternat...

I was today years old when I discovered you can get packs of four Jaffas as part of a Tesco meal deal. This news is bigger than Christmas.

5pm on Thursday, my annual Christmas message. Shaping up to be a good one this year.

I have had quite an ordeal with Secret Santa and it has now led me to becoming lost in Hobbycraft in search of a replacement box.

Going to make my annual Christmas message on the 18th this year. So look out for that, folks!

Do you think Christmas gives a significant boost in sales for the tea towel industry?

Looking back on my notes from LFF and it seems I've written "good dog" for about half the films. A good year for canines, it seems.

Have come to the crushing conclusion that I may have to cut out the Phoenix Buchanan reference in my Sunset Boulevard intro...

Monday night, I’m introducing Sunset Boulevard (18:00) and Mulholland Drive (20:20) at the lovely Little Theatre in Bath. Why not come along? Tickets available here - www.picturehouses.com/cinema/littl...

About a week and a half to go. Mulholland Drive is almost sold out, so get your tickets here - www.picturehouses.com/cinema/littl...

Just sent off another one of those way overthought, never-going-to-happen interview request emails. Which is very likely the reason no one has said yes to guesting on the podcast for quite some time now. Anyway, shall keep trying (and perhaps not be so ambitious with the next few).

I’m back at The Little Theatre in Bath on Monday 17th November to introduce their next Lynchspirations double bill. Sunset Boulevard (18:00) followed by Mulholland Drive (20:20). Tickets are selling quick for the latter so make sure to book! www.picturehouses.com/cinema/littl...

Took a break from LFF by going to see a film.

My interview with @autisticsociety.bsky.social from earlier this year is now up online, with additional questions for World Mental Health Day. Thanks to them, and Helen Wilson who interviewed me, for reaching out again! Read here - www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-g...

There was a dog in Picturehouse Central and it was intrigued by everyone that walked up the stairs. I wanted to say hello to it, but it looked at me and this is the best day of LFF ever.

That’s right folks, it’s time for another over-rambly, uninformative #LFF thread!

An impromptu pre-LFF trip to see @thehornesection.bsky.social was just the right kind of full-throttle silliness needed before launching just the same way into the festival.

Hello again, London

While I don’t have the autistic fascination with trains, I’ve realised that I rather like being in a train station and the process of waiting for one.
