I'm back on the short film train, researching and finding stuff whose tone can help me in my writing process for short 2. When I happen among a short I like, I'm going to add it in this thread. First, a cute talk on the post-apocalypse story - Bounce House. Watch here: youtu.be/0aZwlqnGHf0?...

ICYMI, I've got a new "Outside the Blue Box" article at @thegeekshow.bsky.social's Patreon - this month, I'm talking about the Matthew Jacobs-penned '80s kiddie-nightmare PAPERHOUSE! It's an interesting one. 🏚️🖍️🔨

This was huge fun to record!

Join me, @scaredsheepless.bsky.social & @autistichorror.bsky.social as we talk about Yorgos Lanthimos. It's on this episode that Dogtooth joined my "that's it!?" list for movies whose reputations are far stronger than the actual material. Watch along here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbJ-...

New Episode of the Podcast, talking about Ex Machina, Men and Civil War. Was a fun return to podcasting, even if my computer would not export the video. Watch us, and whatever I am constantly distracted by, on YouTube in the Quote.

In the USA the Israelis pay American Politicians $52,000,000 a year to keep them on side. In the UK it isn't even £1,000,000. But as you can see they all fall over each other to do their bidding. Traitors.

#nw killing of a sacred deer for a podcast tonight. I have to ask - why does this have such a strong reputation? I don't get it. I say this as a fan of Lanthimos's work, for the most part, but this one, it's just not doing much for me.

Keeping things #Grimmfest, @uncutrobcast.bsky.social checked in with director Tom Botchii for his new movie, Syphon. Which had its world premiere at the Manchester event. We have an interview coming soon for this too, so stay tuned. Read More Here: thegeekshow.co.uk/syphon-grimm...

If you're worried about Climate Change, it's billionaires If you're worried about Mass Extinction, it's billionaires If you're worried about poverty, it's billionaires If you're worried about Genocide, it's billionaires Unite to deal with the cause of ALL the problems, Greed.

#nw Prince of Darkness (1987) for a podcast recording later. I know full well how unpopular an opinion this is, but it is one of my favourite Carpenter movies. Mainly as it falls in a favourite horror genre, "sciencing spooky shit", you could call it sci-fi horror but it doesn't capture the vibe.

Finally updated to windows 11 and i hate it. Left it as long as possible, and yeah... Its the typical brand of microsoft shit.

I think if social media just shut down and displayed this image from say midnight to 6am, we’d all have better lives.

I was going to go to Celluloid Screams this year. But an airbnb cancelled on me. Then, yesterday, my hotel cancelled on me. I guess it's just not meant to be - this year anyway. Too late to book anywhere else now without being price gouged. Frustrating as hell.

ICYMI, my latest "Outside the Blue Box" article is up on the @thegeekshow.bsky.social Patreon - this month, I tackled DISCIPLE OF DEATH, a deep cut of Brit strangeness featuring Louise Jameson, Rusty Goffe, and the thoroughly fascinating man that was Mike Raven.

Brave new world coming up for Uncut in 2026.

#Announcement Uncut is changing in the new year, evolving. Well, half of it is. Of the two episodes we do every month, one of those will be staying the same, no changes, same old same old.The other one, however, will be a brave new world. The new half will be called Uncut Presents...

Here in North Yorkshire, it's about time the legacy of James Cook was looked at with big boy pants on, and new Fantastic Fest movie Marama does just that. Read @uncutrobcast.bsky.social's #review of this new #fantasticfest title here: thegeekshow.co.uk/marama-fanta...

NEW REVIEW @thegeekshow.bsky.social 👔🧪🌃 Read here for my thoughts on TIE MAN, a home-made Canadian superhero oddity (just shown at Fantastic Fest) that is, beyond anything else, admirably singular.

Following yesterday's look at the Curse, @uncutrobcast.bsky.social had a chat with director Kenichi Ugana about the movie and its inspirations after its World Premiere at #fantasticfest. read more here: thegeekshow.co.uk/kenichi-ugan...

Updated after an upload error. graham and @uncutrobcast.bsky.social rob on an overlooked and ferociously political sci-fi show. Give it a watch, and then give this pod a listen. Here and on all good podcast apps: open.spotify.com/episode/4oBj...

I still have a page on twitter for the geek show stuff, and I only ever go on there to post a new article or video or whatever, and yet still - it hits you hard. What that place used to be now and what it is now, its shocking. Meme pages, rage bait and right wing rhetoric, it's just like Facebook.

This how I am spending my Saturday, sat in bed as it agony to put my foot on the hardwood floor. I have the same injury in my right foot and that has improved massively since yesterday, so its likely not a long term injury (I hope). But if its no better tomorrow, I'll sort something out.

You could never accuse a show like #TheTwilightZone of resting on its laurels - for better or worse. This week on @autistichorror.bsky.social's Dimension of Imagination: Jess-Belle. Subscribe and Support us on #Patreon Here: www.patreon.com/posts/dimens...

Just when I have articles to upload the website has a turn. Screw you Json Response, whoever you are. Gonna be a late one today...

Didn't think that I'd end up watching a Conan O'Brien clip as research for a review for @thegeekshow.bsky.social unless it was either for MAC AND ME or something Paul Rudd-related. However, I have, and you'll never guess what for.

Robert Redford was singular. In his career, he went from being a true star, to directing thoughtful Hollywood entertainments, to being arguably the biggest champion of independent cinema in the history of the medium. His passing leaves a hole in the movies that will never be filled.

Always up for chatting about a Boots Riley project, I love the way that guys mind works as a storyteller. The Parking Ticket segments alone are worth the price of admission. Give it a listen, it's always a fun time with Graham.

The paying public can watch or not watch whatever they want. Any "film critic" who doesn't like black and white films (or foreign language films or silent films for that matter) is of no fucking use to anyone.

Looks like my avoidance of Martyrs is finally been drawn to a close. For that and all the other movies that are playing this year's @celluloidscreams.bsky.social, read my article here. And yes, horror shorts are always a good time when finely curated.

Takashi Ishii’s 4 Tales of Nami are reviewed @thegeekshow.bsky.social! thegeekshow.co.uk/takashi-ishi...

I don't know if i have said it here before but return of the living dead is not comedy horror. The movie is about living with chronic, unforgiving pain. Listen to what the gassed pair turning to zombies say, that is not material from a comedy. The punx are fun but it is absolute nightmare fuel.

Violence is funny, you hear a movie is super violent and/or gory, then you watch it and wonder what the hype was about. The human imagination is far worse, far more depraved. What movies are actually worth the violence/gore hype around them? Genuinely curious about people's thoughts on this.

There's another 5 to be decided throughout the rest of September, so this could either be a great month of a depressing one.

I've been home for a while, but it's always a stark reminder whenever you go to a city. Their public transport has multiple modes and companies, we have one bus company, and they are currently in one of their periodic moods where they don't bother turning up. At all. This country is broken.

Wrapping up our video coverage of @frightfest.bsky.social 2025, @knowhereandy.bsky.social is joined by the director of the haunted forest, Keith Boynton to chat #Halloween, gore and his drama background #horror Watch the full #interview, and subscribe here: youtu.be/Sj7sSYh08Fk?...

Are you cool with Donald Trump getting the red carpet treatment when he comes to the UK? If not, be outside the BBC at 2pm on 17 September. @ukstoptrump.bsky.social

This was a lot of fun!

Because I haven't spoken enough about Redux Redux already this year

This #frightfest review is a soft start for series 5. Still, give it a listen, it's always a fun podcast to record - even in the middle of a self-inflicted cold caused by air conditioning. You can also listen or watch on Spotify here: open.spotify.com/episode/0yN2...
