A short thread of #PreCode podcast episodes for #PreCodeApril. I’ve yet to find a podcast dedicated exclusively to Pre-Code movies, so if you come across one (or start one), please let me know. #PreCodePodcasts

@KarinaLongworth’s @RememberThisPod is essential listening. Several episodes touch on #PreCode movies, so here’s a short selection. First, the episode on Kay Francis. overcast.fm/+gMpGbyqDI #PreCodeApril Image

Third, this episode on Joan Crawford, part of a terrific mini-series. overcast.fm/+gMpE-wUGg #PreCodeApril #PreCodePodcasts Image
Fourth, the entire season on MGM Stories. The first two episodes cover Norma Shearer and Marion Davies. overcast.fm/+gMpGPn7ZY #PreCodeApril #PreCodePodcasts ImageImage

SHORT THREAD OF FILM RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EASTER WEEKEND. By platform.

@BBCiPlayer Recommendation: Full Time (2021). Just in case you *still* haven’t watched it, despite me banging on about it for over a year. Image
NETFLIX RECOMMENDATION: Past Lives (2023).

Is there a better film than Past Lives on @NetflixUK right now? No. No, there isn’t. Make your family watch it this weekend if they haven’t seen it. Image
@NetflixUK AMAZON PRIME RECOMMENDATION: The One I Love (2014).

A proper Hidden Gem, this. The less you know about it going in, the more fun you’ll have with it. And then you’ll tell all your friends to watch it too. #HiddenGems Image

BERLIN THREAD. #Berlinale Image
Outrageously trolled by @PeterBradshaw1 on Facebook. #Berlinale 🦄 Image
This sort of thing happens to me so often that it’s more unusual when it *doesn’t* happen. #Berlinale

Doing three film festivals back to back (Edinburgh, FrightFest, Venice) was either a brilliant idea or a terrible idea. History does not yet relate which. Image
At least when I get back, I’ll have nine whole days before the LFF screenings start.
Travel is so *weird*. Last night: fun at the Phoenix for the closing night of FrightFest. Tonight: this. Image

#PreCodeApril thread for 2022. Please check the hashtag regularly - it was an absolute treasure trove last year.

This is my Pre-Code Films list on @letterboxd. If you’re looking for recommendations, the top 90 or so are in approximate order of preference. letterboxd.com/filmfan1971/li…
This is my provisional #PreCodeApril @letterboxd Watchlist for 2022. Includes three favourites, the rest will all be first time watches. letterboxd.com/filmfan1971/li…

If I’m violently ill after eating supermarket sushi, can I sue Tesco?
Turned out it was, in fact, food poisoning. Passed out, smashed my head through a window and this happened.
Waiting for ambulance / paramedic now.
