What will they find to say about the importance of hot beverages in anti-hero origin stories, whether it’s possible for a television series to be ‘woke’ if the lead character isn’t and how to describe something as interesting without using the word ‘interesting’, and what does any of this have to do with The EU Lego ‘Ghost Vision’ Minifigure Mountain?

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 daresay they’ve got some weird contraption for roasting coffee in Maya’s gang’s hideout but a regular espresso will do just fine, thank you.
