Had such a blast earlier this summer chatting with Johnny about one of my absolute favourite films— please give a listen if you fancy! And then, subscribe, as Johnny’s relaunching The Thriller Cabinet!!

The Thriller Cabinet Returns! Join me and the brilliant @gemseddon.bsky.social as we wish a happy 50th birthday to Brian De Palma's iconic 1976 adaptation of Stephen King's CARRIE starring Sissy Spacek & Piper Laurie. Available here, or wherever you get your podcasts: thethrillercabinet.libsyn.com

Artwork for Carrie (1976), done by Laz Marquez for the 2017 Arrow Video edition of the film. This vivid illustration shows a female figure stood in its centre, standing rigid, her arms a little away from her sides and her eyes wide and staring, her expression one of furious, supernatural concentration. She is dropping a bouquet from her right hand, her frame dark against a fiery red and orange background.

This is today! If you're in the Daventry area, you should come down as a) Steve's books are excellent and b) he's an absolutely lovely man.

I am incredibly proud of these two books. This Saturday, Sept 5th, between 11am - 12noon, I'll be at the Suddenly On Sheaf Street independent bookshop in Daventry to sign copies of each book and talk #boxing and boxing movies with anyone who wants to come along and say hello!

IT LIVES! The Thriller Cabinet podcast is rising from its tomb, returning to excite your ears with a whole new season of dark cinematic delights! Covering all kinds of classic thrillers from the world of film! Coming soon...

An inky black and white illustration of a woman's face, turning towards the viewer as if in alarm. Her face is partly in heavy shadow, her dark hair flowing out around her like a shroud. At the bottom of the picture, it says The Thriller Cabinet in stylised orange font.

Out now! On the latest episode of the Boxing Movie Podcast I'm joined by author Kieran Mulvaney to discuss an absolute classic. Raging Bull (1980) was directed by Martin Scorsese, and starred Robert De Niro as middleweight champion Jake LaMotta. The greatest #boxing movie ever? #moviesky #filmsky

I recently made a guest appearance on the Modern Horror Podcast to discuss Prano Bailey-Bond's excellent 2021 film CENSOR (with a bit of general Video Nasty chat too). You can find it here, and probably wherever else you like to get your podcasts from, too: open.spotify.com/episode/1nUg...

Poster for the film 2021 Censor. The image shows a troubled-looking youngish woman standing looking out into the distance past the viewer. Her appearance is quite severe, with hair pulled back, drably respectable clothing, and old-fashioned glasses on a chain. However, halfway down the poster a line of video interference seems to infect the picture, discolouring the lower section of the image and revealing that she is carrying a large axe in a distinctly menacing way...

50 years ago today, Nicolas Roeg's remarkable, haunting film of 'The Man Who Fell To Earth' was released in the UK. While Bowie inevitably gains the most attention with an iconic performance, he has absolutely terrific support from Rip Torn, Buck Henry, and a fantastic Candy Clark.

Illustrated poster for The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976). Against a deep blue background, a white illustration shows an enlarged drawing of David Bowie's face, looking grave and dapper in an old-fashioned hat. He seems to be fading into a view of mountains and a lake, his head at the top of an inverted triangle, the point of which leads to a small, tottering figure at the bottom of the image. Bowie's name and the film title are in yellow, with the rest of the cast and crew listed in white.

Incredible work from the Prince Charles Cinema - extremely strongly seconding that these are among the best thrillers ever made. They really reward attentive viewings and are endlessly brilliant.
