Originally broadcast in the 2000s, a clip from the Channel 4 series 'Banned'.
This episode took a retrospective look at the "Video Nasties" saga of the 1980s (with archive interviews from the time) when dozens of horror films were banned in the UK

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2

If I controlled an animation studio- any animation studio- I would jump both feet forth. Alas- for good or bd- I do not.

Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet.

After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!

Spawning sequels, prequels, remakes and videogames... the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre from director Tobe Hooper is one of horror cinema's most iconic titles.
Originally shot in 16mm, see where it all began - with a screening in its original 16mm format:

SEGA have re-ignited their 90s feud with Nintendo to promote Sonic Racing Crossworlds with this incredible shot-for-shot remake of a classic commercial. Glad to have Attitude Era SEGA back, do Dreamcast 2 next
