Will be talking on national radio tomorrow about how the 2025 Oscars are a direct reflection of the movement to fascism the past decade. We’ve gone from finally some diversity and reflection of society back to glorifying “things white men feel is progressive art”

What is Shoegaze Horror? A Ghost Story, We’re All Going To The World’s Fair, Skinamarink and beyond… a horror cinema of ghosts, memories, and slow-burning dissolution, dislocation, dissociation, depersonalisation & derealisation. I take a walk through 17 films… 📽️👻 whitlockandpope.com/2025/02/23/j...

It’s interesting to see what Severance does with liminal spaces and the horrors of mundane minimalism

This Sunday we binge Kiss Him, Not Me! Because it is an hilarious anime about a Fujoshi who gets the attention of 4 guys … hehe

If you’re seeing NEON and director Osgood Perkins’ The Monkey in theaters this week, you may want to stay seated until the lights come up. Bloody Disgusting has received word that there’s something special after the credits:

Also I finally allowed to mention this from last week

BAFTAs really disappointed me this year, and I have a hunch the Oscars will be equally bad or worse … Just talking about the awards, otherwise David Tennant as host was amazing 🤩

I got to see a movie on my bday (Tuesday 11 feb)that I can’t talk about yet, but I know is going to stirr a lot of pots ……

Kendrick & SZA tickets for Amsterdam and London are secured!!!

What would it look like if you could program a Valentine’s Day horror marathon? What are your “romantic horror” go-tos?

The entire Super Bowl crowd singing "A minorrrrrrrr"

The revolution will be televised. They picked the right time, but the wrong guy - KDOT @ Superbowl Half Time Show

With the world swirling the drain all I can do for escapism that is still set in reality is Mo on Netflix.  The show combines real serious issues with comedy. Love recognising the culture and the struggle.

The Sakamoto Days anime ranked at #2 on Netflix worldwide for non-English shows last week.

I don’t want to human today

The millennial experience is growing up with the internet, and watching it go from a free, open, democratic, and eclectic ecosystem to a wasteland of five websites controlled by billionaires, and now seeing it quickly fill up with AI-generated slop. I want our World Wide Web back.

NOW IN CINEMAS: MR. K Grab your pop-corn and watch Crispin Glover fumble around a strange hotel in MR. K. After the Dutch premiere of MR. K as our opening film for Imagine 2024, the film also was acclaimed by critics and won the Méliès d'Argent. If you weren't able to catch it, now is your chance!

Am I scrolling on Xiaohongsue (red note) like I forgot TikTok existed? Yes, yes I am

Not a fresh take, but Nosferatu was underwhelming…

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Been hit with a bad throat infection so I’ve just been binging Bleach TYBW ‘season’ 2 and 3 since I was a little behind…. It’s been over a decade since this arc released in manga and I am so happy we are getting a proper adaptation of Tite Kubo’s work

It’s time for lists! *heads to drawing table*

My Happy Marriage season 2 streams its main promotional video before its January 6 premiere!

Finished it, and I have so many thoughts…..

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

I might make some enemies with this but; I don’t understand the hype around Anora… Love the movie, but feel it’s overhyped at the same time

#SquidGame season 2 starts of strong and they really splurged on the casting even more this time round, it is hard to live comment without spoilers. But I will try….

It’s time to binge!

Rewatched my favourite movie THE FALL this week with Tarsem Singh present. He’s an awesome director and it was great to hear live from him how the process of this self-funded masterpiece was.
