No way! Any idea if the white stripe on his head was natural? It was super distinctive

Good Boy would have been a much shorter film if it had been about a cat.

(It's very original, enjoyable, scary and sad, and the doggie's brilliant)

Off the industrial-strength painkillers so celebrating with this, which was left in the fridge after my birthday. Hope it doesn't taste of hot dog water

Oh, interesting. Sorry for not checking first. In my defence, I did do quite a thorough search, starting with BBC Sounds, before finding this.

Who calls these sorts of chewy sweets "dragees"?

Berry @berryh.bsky.social · 1d

Yep, that's where I first went looking

Dirk mentioned it recently in relation to his memories of working with John. Top listen. Incredible soundscape.

Give this radio adaptation of An American Werewolf in London by @dirkmaggs.bsky.social a spooky season listen. It uses John Landis's original script with extra backstory and a neater ending, and stars the inimitable Jenny Agutter, John Woodvine and Brian Glover.

Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em

One flea to bring 'em all and in the darkness bind 'em

I was in a poorly paid journalism job, and in my office, we would angle for free stuff we could write about. I pitched a comparative write-up to a food tech title when meal replacements were big news. It's fair to say one or two of them didn't agree with me 🤢
