Finally watched Evil Dead Rise after putting it off forever: that was really fun. As much as I love the elevated horror movement, I'm glad a massive horror franchise is unafraid to be goofy over the top and corny

🤣 Win or lose, I don't see Farage coming back from this last week. Its restored my faith in British people.

Please please please please let him win. It would be the funniest thing that has ever happened in the world ever

So basically whatever happens: Farage now has to show up in Clacton and defend his record while standing opposite a joke candidate with a bin on his head...and British people actually have form for voting for people because "it would be a laugh" www.lbc.co.uk/article/nige...

Gonna find it hilarious when the industry discovers that there just isn't another internet horror phenomenon with cross generational appeal like Backrooms. "But...but we were promised 100 million on the opening weekend!" variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Doctor Who isn't dead, it's just pining for the fjords. youtu.be/9ETtNJllG0U?...

*Doctor Who curls into a ball of shame and starts crying*

I've just heard a new advert for Canva in which a graphic designer tries to justify their skills versus Canva's AI tools. You're apparently supposed to side with the AI because the real designer has an obnoxious voice. It is fucking dystopian. I genuinely felt sick listening to it

Conspiracy theory: Starmer only resigned because the Aircon in 10 downing street is broken and he saw the weather forecast for the next few days

And that's 10 prime ministers gone during my lifetime Thatcher Major Blair Brown Cameron May Johnson Truss Sunak Starmer ...I'm sure the fact half of them went in the 10 years since Brexit is just a coincidence. We are a serious country

Saw Stewart Lee do this show again - the fire alarm didn't go off this time. I almost believed it was supposed to go off last time I saw it cause you never know with him

Another example of the "sci-fi show marketed at adults problem" - adults have busy lives and need to make time to watch things... let's cancel it because no one's watching it. I was literally gonna start the Boroughs this weekend. It debuted 4 weeks ago. Give me time share.google/4Zx4nj2PO9KJ...

Halfway through talking to YouTube creator support: "Huh this is weird, why is this guy repeating everything I say back to me and doing nothing to fix my problem?" *Sees the words "AI answers may not be accurate"* "Oh of course. Why do I even expect better?"

Finished Tip Toe. I heard people talking about how harrowing episode 5 was and yeah, it's as chilling as expected. This is the appropriate use of Russell T Davies' time. It's camp and funny on occasion but also bleak and angry.

My pitch for a doctor who reboot: entirely 25 minutes short trips about random characters encountering Dr who monsters and the doctor only appears in dream sequences and he takes the form of that weird kettle thing from twin peaks the return

Interesting they're just cancelling that special instead of delaying it as I expected. That regeneration really should've just been a fade to black because there's no way whoever picks it up is gonna bother resolving it. www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Backrooms discourse at the moment is just brainless and too polluted with people obviously annoyed at the fact a 20 year old directed a very successful feature film and in denial that that's the reason they're going in on it so hard. Yes there are problems with it but that's dominating everything.

RIP Anthony Head. That feels weird to write. He was in so much stuff I watched as a teenager. Buffy. Little Britain. The one people never remember is Jonathan Creek.

I was on a crowded train just now and my face was directed over a stranger's shoulder as he was looking at his phone. He was emailing someone whose name was STUART HARDY. It wasn't me, just someone who shared my name. Anyway then I saw my reflection in the window and my face had been stolen.

I genuinely don't understand why anyone is pretending the Doctor Who Christmas special isn't being delayed or if it isn't then that that's in some way a good thing.

Saw Backrooms. While it has its drawbacks, in terms of adapting weird videos from the internet, this is the entirely correct approach: no indulgence in existing lore, go all in on character and theme as hard as possible. Kane Parsons is definitely one to watch

Malcolm in the Middle was a show about a kid cursed to always be unhappy, and as such, the recent revival show is one of the most depressing things I've ever seen. youtu.be/350IxWHJpiM

Really enjoying season 2 of Beef. My only problem is that these days when a Netflix show starts making points about capitalism (Squid Game) or social issues (Black Mirror) I'm less inclined to cheer it on than I used to be when it's made by one of the biggest corporations on the planet.

I'll be doing a live reading of a short story again for my friends  ‪@Liminal_Tales‬  at the a Glitch Theatre in London on the 31st May. I have promised to try and make it as terrifying as possible. www.tickettailor.com/events/vault...

I feel sorry for the council workers across the country who now have to sit down and explain to their new reform councillors what a councillor actually does

The president speech from Malcolm in the Middle is haunting in light of recent events. Lois sabotages Malcolm's chance at getting rich cause if he gets rich and buys his way into becoming president "You wouldn't be a good president. You wouldn't have suffered enough" ...damn youtu.be/fCPyxZf1x9s?...

When people in our 30s and 40s refer to things the kids like as "brainrot", I feel we're being a tad hypocritical. www.patreon.com/stubagful youtu.be/5k4VOvokxJk

This album randomly came up in my recommended. Forgot just how good it was. Anathema really should've been bigger youtu.be/H7EZkJkZYGU?...

I didn’t post this at the time, but I thought I’d bring it out anyway. I made a 3rd alternative version of my fanart for the episode “The Lost Finale of Johnny and Janey” from @stubagful.bsky.social ’s “Abnormal Stories“ series, this time being a haunted “glitched” version of Johnny & Janey.

Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair - something's off. Everyone's ended up exactly where I thought they would be and Malcolm's kid talking to the camera is a really nice idea buuut...I'm just not laughing that much.

Finished Life on Mars. Taking in the fact that in about a decade, the modern equivalent would be a policeman getting in a car accident and waking up in 2006.

I had time to kill until my train, so I wandered around my local shopping centre and I only just realised how much of it has been replaced by gyms. stubagful.medium.com/has-anyone-e...

Started rewatching Life on Mars. It plays like every single TV show ever made all playing at once. It's a 70s cop drama, twin peaks dream sequence, a documentary about the seventies and a rerun of top of the pops all in one.

Continuing in my grief counselling sessions for Doctor Who fans. youtu.be/Mxi6f185BYk

Apparently if you spend an entire year only watching films where all the cast and crew have passed away, you unlock a secret movie that plays on the inside of your eyelids that shows you the means of your own demise.

Randomly started watching the X files from the beginning cause it appeared recommended on my Disney plus account and all my social media feeds have now started showing me UFO videos. COINCIDENCE!?? ...No. Because Disney have clearly sold my data. There's no mystery in the world anymore

Kinda wanna watch the new Louis Theroux doc cause I usually like them, buuut I kinda know too much about the types of wankers it's about already and they make me feel ill

Damn. I really REALLY wanna see the pilot they shot now

Finally got round to watching Douglas is Cancelled. Some of it feels a bit dated already but the point holds up. I really like that the first half is basically a Trojan horse for the second half. It's probably the most emotionally mature piece I've seen from Steven Moffat.

Wait, something GOOD happened in 2026?

I sat down this week with writer person, director, and YouTuber @stubagful.bsky.social to talk about how he channels big emotions into his writing, maintaining his unique voice after more than a decade in the digital space, navigating through burnout, and so much more. youtu.be/nlpSYc241PY?...

I feel Michael in Small Prophets is more like the Doctor than any of the recent ones. Pottering around in his shed, barely acknowledges it when people are pointing out he's being weird. I feel him being an oddball is what Doctor Who's missing. Capaldi was the last one who was like that.

Small Prophets is sooooo good. Best thing about it is I can tell Mackenzie Crook really loves these characters and wants the best for them

I'm at the hospital because I had a weird pain in my chest for a few days. Turned out it's not serious. They've given me delicious codeine. I love the NHS

I had a dream where mirrors had this setting where you could save what was reflected in them. Think it would make a cool horror film where someone sees the reflection of the previous house's owner getting attacked by a killer.

Accidentally ended up answering a call from my uni and ended up doing a survey including this genuine question: "On a scale of 1 to 10, how satisfied are you with your life?" ...that's a very complex question for 6:45pm on a Friday

Next season of The Traitors: "Well speaking as someone who was actually convicted of murder, I am telling you I'm not a traitor because if I did murder Derrick, I would've ACTUALLY murdered him, wouldn't l?" "Yes, that's true. I'm voting Louise because she ate crisps in a suspicious way yesterday"

Been listening to this a lot lately while working/doing stuff. Makes me feel like I'm in a David Lynch film nursewithwound1.bandcamp.com/album/solilo...

While everyone's talking plotholes, I want to talk about the wider industry trend of which I think the last season of Stranger Things is emblematic. youtu.be/WCbcZO-fOVM?...
