There's a new podcast in town devoted to spy movies & TV shows! Hosted by Dr Vincent M Gaine @drgaine.bsky.social of Lancaster University, The Spy with the Blood-Tinted Glasses is erudite, well-informed and very entertaining - and I'm one of the guests on it 😁 open.spotify.com/episode/5ij8...

These illustrations by Claude Shepperson are mentioned in the latest episode of the podcast. They accompanied the UK edition of HG Wells First Men in the Moon in 1901.  First Men in the Moon: From HG Wells to 1964 🎧 #scifi

Really impressed by Joe Carnahan's THE RIP (Netflix), starring Matt Damon & Ben Affleck. It's an intense & genuinely suspenseful Film Noir about a police raid on a drug traffickers cash store (the eponymous "Rip") told almost entirely in real time. Lots of clever plot twists, so avoid spoilers!

How does BLADE RUNNER stand up as a Philip K. Dick adaptation? Join me & the mighty Ayesha Khan @everyscififilm.bsky.social of Every Single Sci-Fi Film Ever* www.everyscififilm.com/ for a close reading. YouTube shorturl.at/Cj5rC Apple buff.ly/wDl4xnB Spotify buff.ly/34bRrLu Podbean buff.ly/wk2LnPK
