Spocklight@spocklightpod.bsky.social · 3w agoNEW EPISODE ALERT 🖖 The Spocklight crew have finally return after being stranded on Ceti Alpha V for the last few months (our apologies Spocklighters) to analyse the first ever official Star Trek Podcast Audio Drama, Star Trek: Khan. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/e...
Remember how 60 years ago STAR TREK had an episode about a planet whose inhabitants’ technology to create convincing fake shit was so advanced that the Federation decided no one could visit that planet and doing so was punishable by death?
13.03 Compliance (2012) For this challenging indie drama, we discuss the film's approach to identity, social politeness and susceptibility to perceived authority as well as Dowd's brilliant, sad lead role alongside character actor mainstays Pat Healy and Bill Camp Out now
13.04 The Exorcist: Believer (2023) We summon returning guest Daisy Edwards (from @wrated.bsky.social) to chat David Gordon Green's wild career, the Avengers of Faith, the cynical limits of legacy sequels and the Dowd focused follow up we were denied. Out now #wellanndowd #anndowd #ispauldanook

Inspired by @seanfennessey.bsky.social and the Physical Media High Council, me and my @spocklightpod.bsky.social co-host, Paul, started a new tradition of sending eachother film postcards found in fancy Blu-ray sets (which led to a projector screening of Basic Instinct in this case).
Well, Ann Dowd will kick things off later this month with Jonathan Demme's Philadelphia (1993)! Joining us for the first time since season 3 is returning guest, animator and story artist David Trumble. Friday 19th June (Paul Dano's birthday, as is tradition) #wellanndowd #philadelphia #anndowd
... and welcome to WELL, ANN DOWD Season 13 of the podcast, launching properly in about two months, will be covering the brilliant Ann Dowd (The Handmaid's Tale, Compliance, Hereditary, The Leftovers and much more). Recording underway now, full episode and guest announcements to come.

Sam Peckinpah’s Straw Dogs is one of my favourite films of all time, it is also an admittedly problematic and undeniably controversial work so it makes sense that @scottmurphy.bsky.social and myself needed two and a half hours to even begin unpacking it.
Bloody Sam: A Peckinpah Fan Podcast@bloodysam.bsky.social · 2mo agoThis episode is a bit longer than normal and no wonder as this time around we are tackling Peckinpah's most controversial work "Straw Dogs". Luckily we brought in Peckinpah expert @liamhdempsey.bsky.social (Spocklight) to tackle this highly divsive film. open.spotify.com/episode/5y1q...
Due to it's polarising nature this was a difficult one to tackle but hopefully I did this great but frequently troubling and, at times, deeply problematic movie justice. Luckily, I had the excellent @liamhdempsey.bsky.social alongside me to tackle this one and I think it came out pretty well.
