Don't get me wrong, I love The Muppets but it IS a bit of a sausage-fest right?

A thrill to watch Ken Loach's BREAD & ROSES at the Rio Cinema's 'Films for Workers' series. Passionate, crushing, desperate yet victorious. This one will stay with me. Check the rest of the programme & celebrate workers solidarity on screen at @riocinema.bsky.social ✊🏽

Got a real kick from Spike Lee's Highest to Lowest. So thrilling to see living legends at work. Washington, Lee and New York City = one hell of a trio.

Hello, we are glad to now be live on Bluesky! Very excited to connect and keep you up to date with everything going on at the Rio 🍿

Ashley Walters - who I know to be the coolest bro, like, ever - getting schooled on what emojis mean in Adolescence has really aged me.

Never have I felt so like a 'target audience' than seeing Amandaland's 40-ish single dad / former house & garage DJ who looks great in football shorts.

The opening sequence to Questlove's LADIES & GENTLEMEN 50 YEARS OF SNL is a technical, musical, heart-palpatating act from a god amongst mortals. www.instagram.com/reel/DFZ50ZA...

SLY LIVES! Questlove salutes the genius of Sly (& the Family Stone) while asking "what is the burden of Black genius?" to those qualified to answer (oh hey, D'angelo!). Mesmerising. Provocative. Frustratingly buried on Disney+

I'll have what he's having.

"The idea that a widow could simply want connection, fun or just good sex without it being framed as either self-destructive or groundbreaking remains strangely radical". Big fan of Heale's lived observations on our new Bridget.

Got to share some hot takes on who Bridget Jones' boy really is & naturally found some dark romantic comedy in Elia Suleiman's Divine Intervention. What a gem. Ta for having us @lwlies.com 💜

Biggest take away from Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy? It's all about the women. Absolute class act.

After decades upon decades of racism, colourism & whitewashing in romcoms, RYE LANE surfaced with a breath of fresh air. Obvs it was the film I chose when asked along to the Made In England podcast. Listen up! 💖 www.holdfastnetwork.com/madeinenglan...

Enjoyed my seat in the STD area for BABYGIRL.

If what I dug most from BETTER MAN was the carnivalesque merriment & choreographed splendor of Rock DJ, I'm gonna have to cave & watch THE GREATEST SHOWMAN aren't I?

Just clocked that all the films directed by Nicole Holofcener are around the 90min mark & it's made me love her even more.
