- Thrilled to get my contributor’s copy of this brilliant edited collection. My chapter analyses online racist (anti-)fan cultures’ toxic conspiracies of ‘blackwashing’ directed at Black actors cast in Western screen media, which perpetuates white victimhood.
- Thrilled to get my contributor’s copy of The Nightmare Before Christmas edited collection. I wrote about three of my favourite things: horror, media audiences… and food!
- Three upcoming special screenings curated and hosted by our brilliant third-year Media, Culture and Journalism students as part of their Curation, Exhibition & Events module. These events are autism-friendly relaxed screenings.
- A wonderful trip with our third year Media, Culture and Journalism students to Bristol to visit the @wshed.bsky.social A huge thanks to Steph Read and Maddy Probst for the tour and their session on film programming and curation. Great to catch a screening of Mickey 17 too!

- 382 films watched in 2024. A new high score for me. Highlights were watching Black Christmas on the big screen, revisiting Bong Joon-Ho’s body of work, and Perfect Days.
- I had the best time talking to Mike about these monster movie cult classics!
- Reposted by James Rendell👀Voting opens for SXSW London panels tomorrow! Black & Brown voices are missing in horror—as creators & critics. Systemic barriers limit our ability to shape the genre. Jordan Peele can't be our only way in! Let’s amplify marginalized voices & demand real change. Representation matters. #SXSWLondon
