I'm currently working on a new novel, and an extract from it, titled 'The Gleaner's Wife', which was previously available only in The London Magazine's print issue, is now available to read on my website. Link below:

Spinal Tap, When Harry Met Sally, Stand By Me and Princess Bride are like the perfect iterations of comedy, romantic comedy, coming of age film and adventure movie

I’m not saying studio films look terrible now but I saw five minutes of Jingle All The Way and it looked like an Eric Rohmer film

One of the great performances in American cinema. Makes the film

Sorry to hear of the death of Peter Greene. I think about his performance in Lodge Kerrigan’s Clean, Shaven often. Feel like both Greene and Kerrigan deserved better

Wesley Willis’ “Rock ‘n’ Roll McDonalds”
In the final episode, the Duffer Brothers feature a song that has never appeared in any show or movie, as its creators had never allowed it to be used — until now. Any guesses what it might be? 🎵

The Woman in the Yard (2025): Very underrated horror, tautly directed and unnerving and with a genuinely moving emotional core. After seeing her in Bronx Gothic, I’d watch Okwui Okpokwasili In anything, and she’s great here

PSA: The tweet is a joke based on the wildly divergent set of gifs from this film that are circulating on this website. You do not need to get angry or scoldy. Just have fun with the joke!
