Our new regular feature, Deep Dive, continues with an examination of how Disney laced up its combat boots and airdropped its most mighty foot soldiers into World War Two with propaganda films. Words @blevitt93. Illustration @The_Red_Dress. ORDER A COPY: https://t.co/l99ED57NTK

Saw #WickedForGood last night and it’s time to start Ariana Grande’s Oscar campaign because my lord, she’s wonderful in this. Great comic timing, astonishing vocals, and handles the more dramatic elements beautifully. A gift.

This is so great, and Adam couldn't be more correct that Maddie's Secret is the very best TIFF had to offer this year!

With the ‘Office’ follow-up and spinoff, ‘The Paper,’ premiering this week, it’s the perfect time to reminisce about chili spills, Jim pranks, fake fires, and more. This is every single cold open of ‘The Office,’ @blevitt93:

For my @BBC_Culture debut(!!!) I wrote about The Black Cauldron for its 40th anniversary. Very proud of this one, do check it out – I promise the actual backstory is more interseting than the film itself! https://t.co/Tu9Hmg0nWQ

Disney Animation's ambitious and innovative 1985 film The Black Cauldron was an experiment that dramatically failed, arguably putting the future of the studio in question.

#TheNakedGun is my new favourite movie of the year. It's spectacularly funny, with a new gag in every frame. Neeson and Anderson work perfectly together, and is exactly the kind of capital C comedy we don't get anymore. Can't wait to see it again on Friday (and again, and again)

Hugely impressed by #JurassicWorldRebirth, a film that understands dinosaurs are both incredibly majestic and utterly terrifying. The ensemble is fun, and Dolores is the GOAT (iykyk)
