10 seconds maybe? C'mon, from past mistakes, we know it can look pretty great!

(And I just want it to stop so my toddler can sleep. 45 mins of dribbling-out a rocket every 30s felt like an eternity)

Just set all the fireworks off at once, ffs. Every display should last 60 seconds, max.

Its always nice when you're rooting in the bins behind ASDA and you find some perfectly edible bread with your birthday as the expiration date

Hey! (Very happy to hear that)

Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!

My Patreon podcast UNTITLED HORROR SCREENPLAY has a bumper new episode today. I'm looking into The Living Dream: films in which dream-world & real world have become inextricably entangled

There's a long discussion of Jacob's Ladder, then in the second half I pitch a new movie idea in the same genre

Maybe the real Ship of Theseus was the Ship of Theseus we made along the way

Hey! Our piece #souvenirs is being broadcast on BBC Radio 4 tomorrow, 22 July at 4pm UK time (also available on the internet for a while thereafter), I’d love for you to listen! Especially if you enjoy tales of hurt feelings & petty revenge.

New episode of Imaginary Advice out today! Another anthology episode: two stories and an essay. It was originally called SHIP OF THESEUS but I've rewritten this thing so many times who knows what to call it anymore 🤡

Predator is an almost-perfect film, failed only by the fact the predator never hunts by sampling/ replaying one of shane black's big pussy jokes

The Falling Tree logo designed by Ariana Martinez. A tree reaches its branches up towards the sky, casting a light green shadow onto the ground below. The text reads ‘falling tree’ in a soft pink against a dark forest green background

At the heart of what we do remains a belief in radio's imaginative possibilities - audio that can reconfigure the world around us & sink into our dreams.

The irony is in order to get the reference you need to be old as fxck

Thanks so much for listening! :)

Final Reckoning, last scene: Ethan Hunt has been crucified. QUIET EVIL GUY: At last, we won. We killed movies and started world war three. Hang on- He removes Ethan's mask. Underneath, the face is his own. QUIET EVIL GUY: The fuq. Then who am I? Cut to: the real ETHAN, watching the scene through binoculars on a motorike. ETHAN: (smiles) Temporary dialogue to be redubbed later. FIN

Out now on the Imaginary Advice podcast: the first half of THEY WILL / THEY WON'T, an audio-fiction series I wrote in collaboration with @joedunthorne.bsky.social

Joe and I took turns writing chapters. Joe had to bring the two characters together. I had to break them apart
