Victor Perkins taught me at Warwick university. He was great. He really changed the way I approached film. Both as a viewer and a director.

Oddly, the article says ITVX will be showing season two of Culprits. But there is no season two. ITVX will be showing the first and only season of the show…

On my radar: Nathan Stewart-Jarrett’s cultural highlights The Culprits actor on his favourite film for Christmas, the humour and rebellion in the work of artist Mike Kelley, and an inspiring book about failure

Finally finished Robert Caro’s THE POWER BROKER last night. The hype is true. It’s an amazing book. Vital reading. Had wanted to read it for years but never did. So thanks to @romanmars.bsky.social and Elliott Kalan and their breakdown show on @99pi.org for giving me the motivation to finally do it.
