Agree with the point about it being ok in different series. There’s something uncanny about the cosplay routine of actors dressing in their old costumes but with tonnes of Botox.
That’s good to hear -
Although, if you asked my students, tonal similarities to early Scrubs would not be a good thing!
TV comedy people: is the new scrubs actually any good? Have heard promising things but have limited time to watch things at the moment and most of my emotional tv bandwidth is spent crying at Harrison Ford on Shrinking.
Heated Rivalry episode 3:
the smoothie guy is kinda giving Charlie Kirk 🥴
Libbing tf out, get his ass Bruce
Getting in from the pub and chatting to my wife (who I love)
Just found out I’m older than Kate Winslet was in The Holiday and literally had to sit down.
Chat, am I cooked?
Earth-shattering realisation last night that the ‘porn actors’ storyline in Love Actually isn’t about porn actors at all - they’re body doubles for famous stars, hence the simulated sex. This is why it is important to engage with films multiple times. The richness reveals itself.
Had a vivid dream last year that Bob Dylan announced a UK tour of workingmen’s clubs and tickets were super hard to get. Anyway, it’s not quite a workingmen’s, but he’s playing in Coventry (for the first time ever) up the road from my house tomorrow night and I actually think I manifested this.
Stephen Gundle and Janna Wong announce ‘DINO’S TOP TEN’, a ten-podcast series about legendary film producer Dino De Laurentiis.

Peak adult night in
Angel of Harlem - in which U2 travel to Sun Studios in an attempt to recreate the sound of early Presley records and instead produce a piece of music that doesn’t resemble anything Elvis recorded in his entire career (Vegas era included).
Tempted to print this out for work
It’s disappointing that I know what ‘you’re either woke bosh or fascist bosh’ means.
It’s shameful how much Employee of the Month sounds like a movie premise I would come up with. Imagine a romantic comedy… but at Costco. Excellent! 10/10
Today we welcomed our new first-year students with a scavenger hunt around campus. For bonus points, they were asked to recreate some famous film moments or posters. Can you guess what they are?
The concept of not being able to find a decent showtime for one of the best films of the year because Taylor Swift would like to play her new album in all the screens.
Eddington Summer, One Battle After Another Fall
Haven’t seen a single correct ranking of all the Paul Thomas Anderson movies, so here is the actual right order.
(Everything from Magnolia up is a 9/10 btw)
Tonight’s the night
Apple Music finally removed the corny AI snow from this Bob Dylan album cover art 😍 who told them it looked like absolute shit?!
Smashed the gravy boat just as we’re about to enter prime Sunday roast season.
Made it all the way to Tulsa, Oklahoma and excited to be presenting a paper tomorrow at the World of Bob Dylan 2025 conference!
This is going to be SO good for my plants.
It’s raining
Absolutely! After travelling up and down the country for the last 15 years, it’ll be nice to go to a gig that’s only 10 minutes away.
