We are gently easing back into podcasting and uploading video episodes to our Patreon. A brand new show from us should be arriving in June, but for now, we’re testing the waters with bonus shows where you can marvel at our big Irish heads. www.patreon.com/c/screenplay...

The final episode of The Best Bits is a big hug to the podcast that deepened my love for cinema and made me cherish it even more. What a journey it has been... However, all good things...

#74 - BEST ACTION SCENE — The Best Bits Podcast Will and Kevin came to kick ass and chew bubble gum and were all out of bubble gum. Pulling out all the stops for their penultimate episode.

Brand new episode out now! With some big news about the podcast for our upcoming 75th ep near the end. Have a listen and if you can, we’d love a share!

I've abandoned all other social media but still keep my accounts for rare professional announcements. Like AI, you can sense the AI slop at a glance. So, it's reassuring that my Bluesky feed evokes a happier time, when all we had to worry about was a few wars and total financial catastrophe.

That lasted all of five minutes. #TheTraitors

David Lynch was a dream master. I cannot recommend his books, ROOM TO DREAM and CATCHING THE BIG FISH, highly enough. His films speak for themselves. It's about time I restarted my Twin Peaks marathon.

UPDATED: It’s out NOW!

A lovely chat with @kevinlehane.com about #TheDamnedMovie that goes deep on craft and the writing process in general.

ON THE PLUS SIDE 💪🏼 …

This is my local community hall, Leghowney Hall, in full flow for its Xmas market. When the world feels like it's going to hell on a handbasket, sharing breakfast while listening to Bing Crosby croon White Christmas makes everything feel alright.

The Day the Earth Blew Up is delightful, zany fun. It's Looney Toones meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers via Roger Rabbit. My 10-year-old declared it one of the best films he’s ever seen. More of these plead WB. Maybe Coyote v. Acme, eh? Anyways, Bravo to all the creators!

Our podcast cousins! Give them a follow.

Hello, new followers! We're Will & Kev, two working screenwriters from Ireland. One of us won a BAFTA; the other lost out on a Razzie. We do a bi-monthly podcast on random film themes. Our last ep was Kill Scenes, and our next one out Wednesday is on Road Movies! You can find us in all podcast apps!

The passing of Jon Kenny is very sad news. I was lucky enough to work with him on Song of the Sea and Wolfwalkers. Everyone knew he was a fantastic comedian, musican and actor (he was execptional as the Bull McCabe on stage); he was also a gentleman, a sweet man and will be greatly missed. RIP Jon

Since Conan is hosting the Oscars, could Saoirse and Cillian win to make it the greenest Oscars in a long time? I hope so.

Amazing!

Remember Twitter? Ha, what an insane idea.

LOVING the Brawn GP doc in Disney plus. It's a proper underdog story with Keanu Reeves hosting. What's not the like, folks!

Fun fact: I'm here by popular demand.

Love it, Jamie! I've started doodling with watercolours a bit recently too. Nowhere as good as yours.

I'm baffled. I very much doubt that what happened in Russia today was a reactionary tantrum. Someone suggested that this could be a sneaky strategy to redeploy Wagner to Kharkiv? Doubt it. It's a net loss for Pregozhin and Putin...

Across the Spider-Verse, BlackBerry, The Idol — The Best Bits Podcast In this spoiler-free episode of The Best Bits (...or Whatever), Will and Kevin discuss Across the Spider-Verse, BlackBerry, The Idol, the Arnold Schwarzenegger documentary on Netflix, The Marvellous...

I've flirted with social media for 15 years and I still don't know how to do it. I think I should go back to basics and post a pic of my dinner. Enjoy!
