The Toxic Avenger finally arrived in UK cinemas this weekend, and I had a much more fun time with it than I expected.
My review, for @empiremagazine.bsky.social: www.empireonline.com/movies/revie...
From my interview with Zoe Saldaña!! 🐳
Thanks so much!
Ooh it lives up to it and then some! For me anyway. Hope you enjoy!
My first five-star review for Empire and it’s for Andor Season 2. Staggeringly good television, I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I finished it.
Whether you’re a Star Wars fan or not, this, especially right now, is a must-watch show.

Hollering at the screen during The Studio episode two: a spot-on portrayal of on-set chaos (I have also once stood next to a director as they rally to capture the last of golden hour!) ramped up by some incredible slapstick comedy. Genius stuff.
Wrote a piece reflecting on Daredevil: Born Again, how much I enjoyed the finale, and why I can’t wait for Season 2 👇🏻
Spilled my many feelings about the #Severance season finale for @empiremagazine.bsky.social 👇🏻

(Thank you @benstravis.bsky.social for the commission!)
Opening act of new Daredevil: heavily suspected it was coming, put off watching the show to avoid it, still utterly devastated by it anyway
Finally, some clarity on those lyrics
Incredibly proud of my feature on Daredevil: Born Again in the latest issue of @empiremagazine.bsky.social, where I got to speak to Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio and more about the new series, and what makes Matt Murdock so damn cool.
On newsstands now!
One of the most ‘me’ starts of a sentence I’ve ever seen
I reviewed Zero Day for @empiremagazine.bsky.social - interesting concept, majorly lags in the middle, but I thought the last two eps were cracking telly.
Have a read 👇🏻
First sneak peek at my Daredevil feature in the new issue!! 🚨🚨
Been fascinated with the Belle Gibson situation ever since it happened, a pleasure to write the @empiremagazine.bsky.social review of Netflix dramatisation #AppleCiderVinegar 👇🏻
Good god this was made specifically for you
As I’m about to enter a hideously busy and pressurised couple of months, this episode of Ezra Klein’s pod is a godsend: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...
The thought of the PCC closing is incredibly upsetting, please take a second to sign this:
Okay I'm gonna do a thread here of some of the amazing things David Lynch said to me in interviews. Basically, he said amazing things pretty much every time he opened his mouth.

Was extremely excited for Wolf Man but despite some great body horror and tense sequences, it fell a little short for me.

AND I hopped on Zoom with mega stars-on-the-rise Jack Quaid and Sophie Thatcher for a gorgeous chat about horror movies, karaoke and their v fun new thriller Companion.
In the latest issue of @empiremagazine.bsky.social: I got to sit across from certified national treasure Stephen Graham in a fancy hotel restaurant and talk to him about prepping to play a bare-knuckle boxer in A Thousand Blows (and highlighting working-class stories - an incredibly lovely man).
My big Willem Dafoe interview is online now – we talked life, death(s), rats, monsters, outsiders... let alone the Bobby Peru masterclass he gave me (“Don’t you feel something swinging downstairs?”). And I'm in awe of the shoot Nadav Kander did for us. All here:

Genuinely shaken reading this. And if you think it's impossible to 'create' these kinds of digital smears, listen to @tortoisemedia.bsky.social podcast 'Who Trolled Amber'
