Catching up with some contributor copies. It’s always a thrill to see your name in print and I loved contributing to these two publications for the team at We Belong Dead.

We Belong Dead’s Japanese double issue has just won a Special Recognition at the Rondo Awards. Honoured to have been part of the team, I wrote about the careers of Takashi Miike & Kinji Fukasaku. Thanks, as always, to Eric McNaughton and Darrell Buxton, and congrats to all of my fellow contributors.

The bloody twists and fluidity of Ryan Coogler’s genre mash Sinners An audacious, ultra-violent, foot-tapping, high-kicking historical horror with two teeth in its neck and a twist in its tail.

I sunk my teeth into Sinners over at Flicks #SinnersMovie

Such a thrill to work with @cynthiawangmedia.bsky.social, Jacqueline Page, Mara Reinstein and the team on this beautifully designed bookazine. I wrote about Audrey Hepburn’s impressive cinematic back catalogue and her legacy and influence as a style icon in the movies.

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn. An exhaustive examination of a Hollywood classic that still provokes consternation whenever it is screened, I wrote about the film's legacy and position in popular culture and explore the locations that inspired the studio bound production.

By Grabthar's hammer, this was a fun magazine to work on. Thrilled to share pages with @cynthiawangmedia.bsky.social and Mara Reinstein and love the designs by Herman Vega. I contributed to a chapter on the characters from the film and deep dived into sci-fi classics that influenced the filmmakers.

RIP to one of my favourite directors. I hold so many wonderful David Lynch memories, often tangled with friends and loved ones, some now lost. I met him in Brisbane where I took this photo. When I told him how much his films meant to me, he replied, β€œThat’s really neat!”.
