Going through the radiance Miike gangster set, and my taste has changed. I watched these things over and over back then, now it's a struggle. Maybe I used to be more patient? or there where an early placeholder till I found my taste? Or maybe playing the yakuza games ruined Yakuza movies for me.

Celebrating against your former team is a dickhead move. Doing it to your own home town team is even worse. Doing it twice, one of which you do in front of your former teams fans turns it all up to high cvntery. No excuse, Coburn. Being a Boro fan can be very frustrating.

1st gig back after years away. Gabe Nandez (pictured) + Armand Hammer (billy woods & elucid), couldnt get a picture of them as they play their set in near pitch dark as an aesthetic choice. And long story short, I'll be doing more gigs going forward. The itch is back well and truly back.

At my first gig in years. Gabe Nandez + Armand Hammer (billy woods and elucid), and I have to say disappointed at how quiet it is, or maybe the rock gigs I have been to are very loud and scramble my brain and ear drums... Yeah. Probably the second one.

Armand Hammer (billy woods + elucid) tomorrow for me in Leeds. First gig since Pre-Covid and a huge acid test to whether I go to any more, because its my first solo ever gig. At least the first I can remember anyway, I've seen more than I can ever recall... Its certainly my first pure hip hop gig

It's my birthday, and ducks are an easy win for me.

An hour before a job interview on teams by pc decided it was going to crash the hard way, over and over. Windows gotta windows. Hope it went well because my computer is currently incommunicado and in a diagnosis cycle. Its going to be a late one cause of this... Fun.

Otoboke Beaver are playing London in June, and they are a band I'd love to see live. Japanese bands are just uniformly amazing live, umming and ahhing whether I just venture down for it. Hmm... Let's give it a week or two to see if any other dates are announced.

We'll be picking up on Slamdance soon, but for now, we head to Glasgow @frightfest.bsky.social starting with Vasily Chuprina's Jailbroken, a one room crime thriller with a breakout performance from Bryan Larkin. Read more from @uncutrobcast.bsky.social here: thegeekshow.co.uk/jailbroken-g...

Although we caught it at #fantasticfest, Kenichi Ugana's The Curse has also had its UK premiere. Again, read @uncutrobcast.bsky.social's take from back then too, there's also a interview tagged in there too with the director. Read More here: thegeekshow.co.uk/the-curse-fa...

Receiving its UK premiere at 2026's Glasgow @frightfest.bsky.social , Srđan Spasojević's Karmadonna continues a vision last found in A Serbian Film #review Read More from @uncutrobcast.bsky.social here: thegeekshow.co.uk/karmadonna-g...

Blurring the lines between body horror and true horror, Thibault Emin's Else is out now on digital platforms after its run on the festival circuit. Read more from @uncutrobcast.bsky.social here: thegeekshow.co.uk/else-2024-re...

Turns out I've been doing this far longer than I realised... letterboxd.com/uncutrobcast...

I got mubi for £1 for a few months. And what should see but both runs of Twin Peaks, I've not watched it the whole way through so yes, I will happily take this bait. Starting with the pilot. When do I watch Fire Walk with Me?

While not the sort of satire or sci-fi that has crossover appeal, it worked for me. Between what I said on letterboxd and its shrewd, dark sense of humour - I enjoyed the hell out of it. boxd.it/ddOxqn

This month on Bandcamp, I have mostly been buying and listening to... stuff my family thinks is either horrible or noise. A big chunk this month is brought to you by Belgian Noise Rock, yeah, I've probably gone too deep when I can say that.

This week on my Odeon Unlimited Style card I am undecided. Of this weeks releases its a 50/50. Cold Storage or Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die? What we feeling Bsky?

The context is horrific, I wont deny or undersell that. But as a republican (in the sense of anti-royal as a head of state, not the american kind) Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor being arrested is the funniest shit that has happened all year. Really helps the republic cause too.

Lets see who Reform has said they hate. The Working Class they have had it too good for too long. Women they better start having babies or they'll get taxed. Pensioners, the State Pension is unaffordable. Anyone who wants NHS Healthcare. Why would you vote for that

With enough neon gunge to fuel an entire run of 1990s kids daytime TV gameshows, Jimmy & Stiggs sees Joe Begos return to his DIY punk rock roots. Out now from blue finch film releasing. Read @uncutrobcast.bsky.social's #review here: thegeekshow.co.uk/jimmy-stiggs...

Colin Paterson on BBC Breakfast: "does it annoy you when people call Sinners a horror film"? Bitch, what the fuck else is it? Never will I feel the pangs on imposter syndrome when that heat magazine level dumb ass is interviewing for the BBC.

There was a trailer from Damien McCarthy's new one before Whistle - Hokum. Cool trailer and it looks like he's really upped his game. Hope this is the one that lands him in the horror big leagues, building on Oddity & Caveat being two solid movies with one huge scare to bring a conclusive whole.

It always boggles me when it comes to horror in cinemas. It is a key part of the release schedule and the profitability of cinemas, saving them post covid lets be honest. But they will still shaft new horror with graveyard only screenings and dumped off a week later.

Today was my first time representing @thegeekshow.bsky.social at an in-person event - an all-dayer of films from the Japan Foundation's touring film programme at Altrincham Little Theatre - and let it be known, I had a wonderful time. Article to follow (soon).

Just booked my hotel for my first gig since before covid too. 2018 was probably my last. Zu, Lightning Bolt and Tim Hecker. For someone who loves live music, like I do, that is waaaaaaaaaay too long. Armand Hammer UK Tour (Elucid & Billy Woods) for those curious.

42 takeaways, restaurants & gastro pubs on one road of my home town's town centre. A few may be ambiguous whether they are still open, but it is still waaaaaaay too many. It also communicates rather beautifully the mess that destructive politics does to a town like mine - only fast food can thrive.

At the point where @hallmark.bsky.social movies cross streams with classic flavour #TheTwilightZone, you'll find Chris Messineo's The Strange Dark. Out now on VOD via Chroma #review perfect Sunday evening viewing. Read More from @uncutrobcast.bsky.social here: thegeekshow.co.uk/the-strange-...

Polite Society is on Film4 tonight, get it watched if you've never seen it. Nida Manzoor should be as big as Edgar Wright before too long, can we get on that please?

Better late than never, finally set the ball in motion to deactivate my Twitter account. Instagram, Letterboxd and Here is enough. Even if it's like shouting into a void here, and you get better interaction over there.

#nw China O Brien. It's on prime, and sometimes the heart just desires some high camp action. I mean, we dont get it in cinemas anymore. So you gotta get it where you can.

2025 was not a good movie watching year for me, looking to fix that in 2026. Looks like I've already got a my most watched director of the year down, I've just acquired the Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi! series that I've heard my fellow J-Horror heads talk about for years now.

The only long running anime series that is consistently worth recommending drops on Netflix UK this week. The best comedy, full stop, Gintama. And yes, I absolutely will watch it again - however much they end up uploading, whether all of it or they portion it out

Hey, @altitudefilms.bsky.social - please can you release ‘Sister Midnight’ on physical media please. It was one of the best films I saw last year.

I'm partial to the occasional anime, mostly comedy and horror these days. Still. Netflix recommended me Tougen Aniki, a fight of the week style series where teenagers get superpowers by slitting their wrists. Holy shit, there's tone deaf and there's just plain offensive. Boo, algorithm, Boo.

I was super lax watching movies last year, I totally lost my motivation much to the point that I haven't even looked at my letterboxd wrapped. My mpho was gone. Off to a good start this year though, upgraded Game Night to... boxd.it/cmRQbZ

I've said before, I don't do new year resolutions. That said, I was too reclusive in 2025, this extended to social media too. I guess I just had things going on with the old mental health. 2026 I am going to be making more of an effort. Again, this is something that's happening - not a resolution.

The final podcast of the year on the last real day of the year is here. Join us and some guests (@yourmovelarry.bsky.social @darrengaskell.bsky.social and more) who talk about some of their favourite christmas movies. What's yours? Listen to the Free Podcast here: www.patreon.com/posts/free-l...

My true Christmas wish - the thing I hold most hopeful in my heart - is that each and every one of you has a better 2026 than you had in 2025. May the fates be generous and kind and you all receive the blessings you all so richly deserve. Merry Christmas and much love to you all.

No shade but Nolan is a filmmaker that just isn’t for me

I don't believe in NY resolutions, they are for cowards lacking conviction (sarcasm, dont be literal) But I do believe in setting goals for myself. And for 2026, nothing is stopping me from getting the fuck out of the north east. And making my 2nd film, and getting out into the world more.

It was sorted with radiance. Got them in 28 hours second time around. The original order has been swallowed by the vast caverns that are the royal mail dispatch centres.

Thus far, it's been hard on the festival scene. There's about 10 more to be announced, so fingers crossed for more laurels for the Last Sock You'll Ever Need (my short film). In January, pre-production starts for short film number 2.

Yes. What my other account said, get in touch.
