Joshua Idehen on ‘Mum Does the Washing’ and the –isms that shape us
The British-born Nigerian poet and musician discusses working across formats, the risks of political art, and the lesson he's taking from Dolly Parton.
"If I'm convincing men that it's okay to talk about stuff and it's okay to feel and I'm showing them a glimpse of what a better world can look like, then I'm winning," @joshuaidehen.bsky.social tells @reuters.com in our latest Culture Current.

I’m gonna be honest.
I was whelmed by Superman. Felt like I was watching the second, actiony half of a decent super hero movie.

I would argue the best hitman film would not have hitman as the main character.
He’s Freddy Kruger but all his victims are dicks.
Make an assassin slasher type movie where a bunch of billionaire class types die horribly despite their best efforts not to.

It kinda seems like they all felt pain because he did, which suggests they all died because he did and the sun aided the demise... Except did with plot armour

There has never been a better time to live in a left wing echo chamber. There is not one idea that has come from the right in decades that deserves respect or even rebuttal. We are living on a warming planet with actual problems and none of them are solved by regressing into imagined cultural safety

My favourite film genre
1. Just before the zombieoutbreak
2. Dinner party at the apocalypse
3. The world's about to end but no one will believe me.
4. It's a detective movie but the secret end villain is a lovecraftian elder God
5. A well thought out &acted found footage movie
6. The devil wins

I think they're just trying to make life difficult for Starmer. When Trump throws a tantrum they will go "silly keir destroys UK economy, elections now " or something like that.
