Omg Vladimir on Netflix is so good and very funny. Rachel Weisz is a scream. It’s left me with a rare desire to read the book, and most adaptations fail at that

Latest episode of Total 90s Recall is about Scream, in honour of film 7, out today.

We talk gore, final girls, slut-shaming and gaslighting, moral panics and VHS tapes, plus we ask, is this actually the most 90s film we've rewatched yet??

This was me about a month ago, stressing until midnight until I finally cracked it

Oh yes, still searching for that

Also when it asks you if you want to follow up on an email where you were entirely ignored

Gmail keeps trying to “tidy up” and “improve” my emails with AI. It’s trying to simplify my emails but all it’s doing is giving me a complex

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Yes it’s quite haunting hearing overtalk or background speech turn into the sound a ghost dolphin would make through the aether. I only ever turn the slider to a low % on both speech & background and still with much trepidation

I’ve been working on an audio drama which recorded on location this week, and watching the cast ride bikes & playing football and cricket in the street was a joy - normally radio = windowless studios

Limelight - Wolf Valley - Episode 1 - BBC Sounds A missing journalist, an isolated fjord and a chilling discovery.

I was very lucky to work on this scandinoir thriller with @almost-tangible.bsky.social last year, and all 5 parts are available to listen on Sounds now! 🐺

1) I had my graduation ceremony with mortar board and gown and brass band etc etc!
2) My very poorly cat mayyy be well enough to come home soon 🥲

✨🐺Introducing the cast of Wolf Valley…

We were beyond lucky to assemble this group of talented, multi-lingual audio drama adventurers – and we can’t wait to share their brilliance with you.

WOLF VALLEY premiers Friday 23 January, 14.15 on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.

We’re all having to do a little cost cutting in these tough times

Yup, I heard this before

A D&D style moral alignment chart of the characters from Sense & Sensibility. In the lawful column from good, neutral to evil it’s Colonel Brandon, Edward, Fanny, in the neutral column from good to evil it’s Elinor, Mr Palmer, Lucy Steele. In the chaotic column from good to evil it’s Marianne, Mrs Jennings and Willoughby. I hope you agree with my choices

Happy 250th birthday, Jane Austen.

You invented free indirect style, wrote the most vicious put downs, gave us the GOAT enemies-to-lovers plot, and wore the heck out of a bonnet

Melissa Leo’s for your consideration Oscar ad

It really has this vibe

I just don’t understand the logic of accosting people when they’re obviously trying to catch a train!

“You look like you’re a friendly person!” they yell, while blocking your route to the ticket barriers

Absolutely devastating news about the passing of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle. What an achievement to make so many people’s favourite film, but from a range of six different titles. Here on the set of the superlative and unique The Princess Bride.

I was, over the years, an angel, pregnant Mary who gets rejected by the innkeepers (but a different girl got to play Mary with the Christ child), and more depressingly, the front end of a camel whose wise man brought the gift of myrrh.

I believe there was a study that found former Virgin Marys and Josephs are more likely to end up becoming high earners

To me, this is delightful

(Pre-pandemic here means both pre-covid and pre-Open AI)

Came up with a solution to avoid having to use the new Word Copilot. Found an old laptop with a copy of Word installed pre-pandemic. Tho the touchpad is broken, I can link to a monitor & mouse/keyboard and use that. Added benefit of having PC Word which has more functionality than Word for Mac.

I’ve been on a bit of a rollercoaster, as the vet told us our much-loved cat may have a serious illness. A blood test has hopefully now ruled that out - phew 🙏🏻

Love this cover

Thanks - getting a cat to eat is harder than making a horse drink water!

Otto, a tabby cat, curled up on a white bedsheet with his eyes squeezed shut

Has anyone had issues with a cat under-eating and losing weight?
Otto gets hungry but only eats a bit. Have tried lots of foods, and now the blood tests have come back negative for anything nasty (thank goodness). Vet is unsure if dental issues explain it so I wonder if anyone has any ideas?

Right?! 💔
