Wildwood is incredible. Laika does it again. Up there with Kubo for heart, emotion, action, and stunning technical prowess. Bonus points for the brilliant, laugh out loud, unicycle joke.

Renfield: Did you know that urine is just blood that's been filtered by the kidneys? Dracula: I don't like where this is heading.

Every movie, song, and book that you love was made without the technology that people who don’t make art are now insisting is necessary for making art.

Exciting news for spooky season! We've worked with the Ultimate Picture Palace in Oxford to programme a season of horror classics under the title HER-STERIA: FEMALE POWERHOUSE PERFORMANCES IN HORROR. From Matilda Lutz to Isabelle Adjani and Olivia de Havilland to Sissy Spacek (and Toni Collette!)

Hey guys! I'm Burke, he's Hare, and before we get into today's unboxing video, we just wanna talk a little about today's sponsor, Surfshark

I swear to god I just heard a Korok laugh.

Yeah, okay, fair play Switzerland.

Don’t mind me, just doing some holiday research.

Whoever decided to promote Coyote vs Acme by letting Wile E do an AMA using only signs deserves all the praise.

Yes, as soon as I got it home I went straight to Moopsy. #LowerDecks

❤️ We were given this gorgeous drawing yesterday by Moeri, along with the sweetest note. As a Japanese exchange student spending a short time in Oxford, they wrote about finding a warm welcome at UPP, a place they felt comfortable, and an atmosphere that reminds them of home.

CHILD 1 (moving Mon Mothma figure around): The Chandrilan arranged marriage is an outmoded social compact. The galaxy has moved on, and Chandrila must join it Child 2 (attaching Perrin's magnetic cocktail glass to his action grip hand): Certainly hasn't done us any favors

First Dolly Parton, now Tim Curry. Fuck this week in particular.

Coyote vs Acme is an absolute joy, and that needle drop (if you’ve seen it you know the one) was perfect!

Cities and Memory has just launched a callout for Oxfordshire bands and musicians to create a new piece/song built from a sound recording of Oxford, and perform it as part of the Museum of Oxford's wonderful Sounds of the City exhibition. citiesandmemory.com/sounds-city-...

I really really liked The End of Oak Street. It plays out like the best kind of Twilight Zone “…but what if…” episodes.

I call this “Self portrait, with science”

Once again I’m begging you to stop taking about “discovery” in music apps as if they’re your mates telling you about the cool bands they’re into. It’s a tarball designed to lock you in. Go to gigs and watch the support bands. Listen to the radio. Don’t let these flea monopolise one of life’s joys.

New book smell… breathe it in… (Thanks to my wonderful local bookshop @caper.fun)

An upcoming Laika release is always cause for excitement, so getting this unexpected extra in my @empiremagazine.bsky.social subs delivery has made my day.

Picnicking.

It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, The ewok one, then a major dip; A baffling plot involving Amidala

Oh no, not Sam Neill. What a loss. In The Mouth Of Madness, The Dish, Event Horizon, Omen III, and of course Jurassic Park, are all films I continuously go back to. One of the best.

I'm kind of obsessed with video & 3d space. Been building a drone flight viewer that shows captured video aligned with flight paths. flights.benjaminbenben.com

Well, Hoppers is a lot weirder than the trailers made it out to be.

A story I love about Anthony Stewart Head. Thank you to this person for sharing it on Tumblr. What a mensch.

We just reached our 100th member. Welcome Richard Lawrence, whose letterpress works in Hurst Street are where some of Stanley Donwood’s most celebrated linocuts were printed. richardlawrenceprinter.co.uk If you haven't yet, please consider parting with £1 yourself. CausingaScene.org/Membership

The Mandalorian and Grogu is a perfectly fine, low stakes visit to the galaxy far far away. Sometimes that’s all you need.

Rose Of Nevada is stunning. Feels like an unwritten M.R. James story. It’s going to stick with me for a long time. boxd.it/RQAq

The Sheep Detectives is a total joy. I’m extremely baffled as to how it ever got made, but I’m happy it was.

If you read them from the beginning they're the words of a dog who desperately wants you to come over because they've seen a frisbee

Has to be done. #MayThe4th

After a dose of the lurgy, and some issues with my server, I finally managed to write up my thoughts about #WebDayOut last month (tldr: it was bloody brilliant). polytechnic.co.uk/blog/2026/04...

Next stop the Moon!

Thinking you’re apolitical is like thinking you “don’t have an accent”—it just means you haven’t thought about it very much.

S’up Sauron

Project Hail Mary was everything I hoped it would be. What a wonderful adaptation.

To mark the start of our campaign to Save the UPP we recreated a photo from the early days of the cinema. Thanks to everyone who braved the wind to join us, including our young supporters from East Oxford Primary School and @anneliesedodds MP. Sign our petition: www.change.org/p/save-the-u...
