What will they find to say about Miss Ellie The Flerken, how much outrage you could cause by casting Meghan Markle as a controversial new ‘male’ Hawkeye and how to effectively schedule a viewing of Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania, and what does any of this have to do with barricading complaining men into an all-Saltburn film festival?

Buy A Book!

You can find much more about my love of the less critically lauded corners of cinema, from Michael Caine and Elvis Presley movies to creaky old sci-fi and ‘Video Nasties’, in my book Can’t Help Thinking About Me, a collection of columns and features with a personal twist. Can’t Help Thinking About Me is available in paperback here or from the Kindle Store here.

Alternately, if you’re just feeling generous, you can buy me a coffee here. I honestly don’t think Kamala needs any more caffeine though.
