Film poster for Julia Ducournau’s Titane

Thrilled to be interviewing Michael Timmins, guitarist and songwriter for the wonderful Cowboy Junkies, on @outsideleft.bsky.social today! outsideleft.com/main.php?sto...

I would not be surprised - Jasmin is a respected SF scholar as well as an author, so she really knows her stuff!
