Do we think Jack O’Connell auditioned for Sinners and Bone Temple and figured he wouldn’t land both parts?

β€œBe kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. β€œAt a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

It just be said, @mooneylwrites.bsky.social and @stewartwpringle.bsky.social are consistently writing some of the best atmospheric horror @bigfinish.bsky.social has to offer. Bravo.

@davidault.co.uk I’m just now getting to β€œTo the Flame” of SATD and the writing on this has some real punch to it. The humor is so well woven in to rhythm of the story and hearing you recite your anti-sweet tea argument in a story was delightful

PHANTOM PULSE - a 90s audio drama musical PHANTOM PULSE is a rock audio drama about love, death, and everything in between from Lauren Shippen, creator of The Bright Sessions.

one of the big reasons we're asking for so much money for Phantom Pulse is bc I want to do everything I can to make it a union production so my actors can potentially* get healthcare that I will also be paying for in part with the funds we raise with kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/aty...

Me: 'Wow, this thriller sounds incredible! Creepy premise, great tension...'

Letterboxd: 'It’s a 1960s black and white samurai movie'.

Re-watching THE SHIELD means getting to naturally reach the 'what other errands--' moment in the same way I hear watching Dexter does for the 'Surprise, Motherfucker' line.

Mark Gatiss, the boy that Dr Who books made TheΒ League of GentlemenΒ star and creator ofΒ BookishΒ on his work, snobbery in the arts, and advice for working-class writers.

Especially as a North East writer, it’s inspiring to read these words from Mark Gatiss, cheers Mark.
