Icymi, Jacob Everett (@blauer_geist) of @APCON_MAG Confidential joined me to riotously revel in the hot-blooded hysterics and primal paranoia of James Ellroy's AMERICAN TABLOID, a great American novel if there ever was one. Here’s a clip. Link to full episode below.


A solid giallo mystery which would be a classic if they gave out awards for titles. I'm fairly new to the work of Edwige Fenech but quickly becoming a fan #noirvember

If you like your noir with shades of giallo I'd recommend 'A Lizard in a Woman's Skin'. Dreamlike, psychedelic and hypnotic #noirvember

Watched a wonderful production of 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' this evening directed by my friend Harriett Byford. It's on Liverpool Stanley Theatre tomorrow and Saturday. Do go if you have the chance 🎭 Unlike us mere mortals, the play is timeless!

'The Hell with Heroes' - interesting watch for #noirvember. Basically a smuggling caper which, as the title suggests, captures some of the post-WWII malaise and with good chemistry between the two leads - Taylor and Cardinale.

This film would have been a lot shorter and more entertaining if Michelangelo simply took one look at the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, sucked in the air through his teeth and said, 'Big job, this.' 🎨
