There’s a well-known effect in neuroscience behind this. Constant stimulation keeps the brain’s dopamine system in a continuous reward loop. The brain stays busy reacting, but rarely switches into the Default Mode Network — the state linked to reflection, creativity, and problem-solving. When stimulation stops, the brain finally shifts into that mode. That’s why ideas appear in the shower, on quiet walks, or while staring out a window. Silence isn’t empty. It’s when the brain finally gets time to think.

“Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it… or learn from it.” — The Lion King (1994)

@HelenSwire - you are doing great work. Please promote this personal opinion more. I’m not sure it’s quite the worst but it’s definitely down there as one of the most overblown, pretentious and poorly conceived Bond movies of all time

Goodfellas (1990) - I miss commercials like these in real life.

@NeverendingWL I’m done after Irishman & Killers of the Flower Moon. He and Ridley Scott don’t have the mojo anymore

What are your biggest movie pet peeves? I’ll go first - movies that have no reason being up to 2 and a half hours long

Hands up if the volume of the new Cineworld advert makes your ears bleed? 🙋‍♂️ @cineworld please sort it out, it’s been like this for weeks, and not just in one screen, it’s been in every screen. It’s clearly an editing mistake, but I’ve genuinely seen people cover their ears

Yeeeeassssssss Love this @RevAndrew - the right choice and an unbelievable movie

Voting time! James and my picks for the 1987 Gorham Award (Egregious Oversight) Best Original Score The Last Emperor v RoboCop v The Untouchables What deserved to win the Oscar?

@ohsethy In fairness, i like Interstellar more than my brother

Cinephiles love stories about ditching loved ones to see a movie. “I left my brother’s funeral a little early because a cinema 100 miles away had Interstellar on 70mm IMAX” and all the replies are like “You did the right thing 😎”

@gavinmannspage The sound mix is off with so many films these days

@NeverendingWL Unnecessary whispering/talking in hushed tones

@truereddevil99 If they’re entertaining or useful that’s great. But if they’re just pointless little vignettes then we learn nothing

@NeverendingWL One of mine is scenes at the end of the credits it’s such a wind up

@JackedUpReview Yes I agree although his standards still remain high so it bothers me less than some others

@NeverendingWL Make that every Scorsese film after 2011: no ise of the 3 hour time

@MtnMoviePod You’re more than welcome Simon. Possibly the most euphemism crammed episode we’ve done 😂😉

Thank you to Damon for the invite, always great speaking to him about Movies and this journey into space was no exception. Check out the episode!
