A screenshot of Lala and Po from the teletubbies. The screenshot is clearly taken from someone's phone, as the borders of the tv can be seen, as well as glimpses into the apartment behind them. Po is in bed wrapped up in a blanket. The text below them reads "I know you were high at my mother-in-laws funeral..."

More screenshots from the Teletubbies. Lala seems to be upset with a terrified Po. the text below reads "Did you kill the dog? Why would you do that?!"

A third screenshot from the Teletubbies, this time the same scene as before. Po is wearing an apron while Lala seems to still be upset at him. The text below reads "You're nothing but a failure of a man."

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.

I have translated some of the highlights

The Hamnet “We Found Love” video is so right. The human condition is such that sometimes we simply must oontz oontz

The film event of the year, every year.

That 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is nearly as good as last year's 28 Years Later feels borderline miraculous, like this long-perished franchise came back from the dead precisely when we, as a society, needed it most.

Also, there are so many penises in this franchise??? Good for it!

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Review: Faith and violence go head-to-head in yet another stellar entry in this series | SWITCH. With '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple', this series is shaping up to be a true rarity in horror cinema, the only one that gets better with each new entry. The relief is that Nia DaCosta has furthered ...

My ★★★★½ review of the tremendous 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE, as intelligent and heartfelt as its predecessor. Fanaticism and nihilism collide with hope and humanity, with Ralph Fiennes and Jack O’Connell delivering truly stellar performances. Read my review at @maketheswitchau.bsky.social

I have never once touched ChatGPT or wanted to and I reject AI so completely that I am actively rude to friends about it when it comes up, but it’s still become so integrated into life so fast that I am forced to deal with it and I resent that deeply.

I’M WALKING.

historically accurate☑️

Good for "Hamnet," a great movie.

Hamnet Review: The immense power of grief in all its exquisite beauty | SWITCH. That is the purpose of art: to say the things we cannot say out loud, to express the things we cannot express ourselves. It is the grand, never-ending documentation of the human experience, the ongoin...

My ★★★★★ review of Chloè Zhao’s HAMNET, a quiet meditation on grief and loss that builds to an incredible, overwhelming crescendo. It’s been a long time since a film has unravelled me as completely as this did. I could hardly breathe from sobbing. Read my review at @maketheswitchau.bsky.social.

my awards season take is lee chang-dong's burning should just be re-released as an Oscars qualifier every year until it gets nominated for something.

I did it right, I really did.

“Homework cinema” is not Kurosawa or Bergman or Ozu or whoever, “Homework cinema” is the MCU

What was the last movie or TV show you watched in 2025?

With my favourite little guy.

Throughout 2025, I watched all 34 of Steven Spielberg’s feature films in chronological order, an exercise that just made me love his work even more. It has earnestness and humanity, but also brutality and cynicism, and at its best, breathtaking honesty. Here’s my full ranking: boxd.it/BWcas

Sure.

Look, I’ll take it!

Is that a Howard’s End related question?!

Fire and Ash made half a billion dollars in a week and we’re still doing “Avatar has no cultural impact”? Don’t you people have homes to go to?

BENNY SAFDIE IS AGAMEMNON?! I’m OBSESSED with this!

I love this list!!

I’m still shaken by this.

It was such a genuine pleasure contributing to this excellent episode of @onceuponavhs.bsky.social, looking at the 1988 BBC adaptation of THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE, the first great love of my life. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/o...

Brokeback Mountain Review: Celebrating the beloved queer classic and the power of being seen | Retrospective Review | SWITCH. Few films, achingly few, change the world. 'Brokeback Mountain' is one of them.

This week marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Ang Lee’s BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, a film whose importance is impossible to overstate. It took me days to write this retrospective on this masterpiece. It still feels like no amount of praise can ever do it proper justice.

I’m dumbstruck by news of the death of Tom Stoppard—maybe because he hoarded all the words and knew how to use them better than just about anyone. I hope we savor his spectacular wit and erudition and argue about the politics of his plays forever. He was monumental, and also a kind and curious man.

rogue one is bad folks. i have believed this since i saw it in theaters and no subsequent rewatch has changed my mind. basically a chop job until the final sequence, which is good (for star wars)

Invasion of the Body Snatchers 4K UHD Review: A great work of 1970s paranoia cinema shines in this new restoration | SWITCH. Though Jack Finney's novel was adapted further (and likely will be again), it's unlikely any version will better Philip Kaufman's 1978 sci-fi horror masterpiece. It's a visceral, palpable nightmare, w...

My ★★★★★ review of the new 4K UHD release of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS from @imprintfilms.bsky.social. This film has never been well-served on home video in Australia, but this gorgeous restoration of Philip Kauffman’s paranoid masterpiece makes up for it.

Bugonia Review: Lanthimos dissects paranoia and power with precision | SWITCH. More than anything, it's the recognition you feel as you watch it. The paranoia these characters feel, you know it well - the sense that something is very wrong and that we feel completely powerless t...

My ★★★★½ review of Yorgos Lanthimos’ brutal and brilliant BUGONIA, our collective anxiety on the state of the world made manifest as a paranoid, preposterous and immediate act of creative hysteria. It holds you in the space between laughter and despair, as devastating as it is wildly entertaining.
