Rewatched 48 Hrs and Eddie Murphy is still electric. An untested film actor walking into a gritty crime film with total confidence and screen presence and changing the buddy cop movie dynamic in the process. Amazing. We talk buddy movie evolutions here: tinyurl.com/TalkinFilmClub…

With the @BFI Moviedrome season in full swing, I’ve been hunting for this -  My ‘Letter of the Month’  in @SightSoundmag from 2013… remembering #Moviedrome and bemoaning the lack of classic movies on TV #cultfilm #bfi

As one of the most iconic images in 70s cinema, Travis Bickle’s mohawk reveal in Taxi Driver is a striking, almost primal transformation that signals his descent into chaos and his commitment to conflict. A visual shock that stays with you long after the film ends #FilmTwitter

New Episode! Taxi Driver Scorsese’s iconic tale of loneliness and obsession still stuns, but how will a 17-year-old react to Travis’s descent into madness within the seedy underbelly of 70s New York? #FilmTwitter #taxidriver Listen everywhere and here: tinyurl.com/TalkinFilm29

Thrilled to have a letter featured in the latest issue of @SightSoundmag . I share my thoughts on the end of @totalfilm as a print edition and the uncertain future of film magazines

What I love about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is how it breaks the mold: instead of bar brawls and corny showdowns, Butch and Sundance spend the film running from trouble. It’s about survival, rather than conflict—turning classic Western tropes on their head in 1969.

New Double Episode! Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid + The Sting Two all time classic movies and two huge movie stars, but how will a 17 year old react when faced with this much charm and charisma? #RobertRedford #PaulNewman Listen everywhere & here: tinyurl.com/TalkinFilm28
