A little update…..

Hello hello hello! It’s been a while since my last post and this one isn’t really about one thing or another, just a little update about what I’ve been up to

Embarrassingly I’ve just worked out some of the features on this site, so future posts will hopefully look different, with pictures and everything!

The podcast has been going ok, its nice being more active with it and while there’s been a couple of gaps in between episodes but it’s going well with plenty of ideas yet to come, including an interview with an actual famous person!! If I can ever get a time nailed down!

Away from the podcast and films, I’ve been working on my book collection, I love the author Karin Slaughter and now I’m only 3-4 books away from having all of hers. I could have downloaded them to my Kindle in one hit, but there’s something about holding an actual book that tablets will never replace. There’s a few more books on my wish list that I’ll get as soon as I can, but all this has lead to to start thinking………Could I write a book?

I have caught myself putting little ideas down on paper, I have a main character, a location and various other bits, but do I have a story that people would want to read? Absolutely no idea. I don’t know if I’ll ever get around to trying to write it, but I like to think that I will one day. In fact somewhere buried in my emails is a few scraps of ideas of a Star Trek story that myself and a friend started ages ago, maybe its time to take another look at that as well

Film and TV wise its been a mixed bag so far this year. Cinema wise I haven’t seen much, I’m annoyed I missed Moonfall as I do quite like big scale disaster films (i.e Independence Day) but I have pre-ordered it so I’ll see it soon enough. Scream 5 was a huge disappointment, sadly they didn’t learn anything from 4 and I think this is where I say goodbye to the franchise. I have the original trilogy and that is more than good enough for me. I hope I will get to see Unchartered, despite my feelings on Tom Holland being (mis) cast as Nate Drake it’s an adventure film and as I said in a recent episode, I love those!!

I will be making a much bigger effort to see the upcoming Batman and Morbius movies, despite being a lifelong Batman fan I find myself more excited for Morbius. Maybe that’s a Pattinson issue, or just a little feeling of being over saturated with Batman lately, I dont know. There’s a few other things coming soon that I’m looking forward to, Jurassic World Dominion, Doctor Strange and The Lost City (Yes, I’m looking forward to a film that has Channing Tatum in it)

I did catch the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre film on Netflix, in all honesty it is terrible.

Seriously terrible.

But if you’re looking for a giggle with some cheap scares and something you can watch with no thinking involved, then it fits the bill perfectly, even more so if you’re a fan of that franchise. It did lead me to digging out the TCM 2003 remake and its prequel from 2006, both are far better than the Netflix movie and very good in their own rights too.

That’s enough of my ramblings for now, take care guys!!!

Just a little blog to accompany the podcast. By no means a expert, just my feelings on what I like
