Birmingham's very own film conversation show is back next week! Tickets here. Please help spread the word. Determined that the Midlands should get a regular live show like this. Even with grumpy old me.

Must admit, I never saw the National Service revival coming. The 1930s policy cupboard is alive and well.

Film Stories hitting issue 50. Really hard to reflect on it all after a very difficult five and a half years. Inevitably, you remember those who pulled the ladder up behind them and weren't there when you needed them. But you remember even more the people who had your back. I've been very lucky.

Getting to the career highlight by referring to Wayne Rooney as the “former Birmingham City manager” in the Independence Day Resurgence section. Thanks, as ever, for starting my week with a chuckle @simonbrew.bsky.social

Won't somebody PLEASE think of the streamers??? Here's a ramble about the ambiguously titled John Krasinski-Ryan Reynolds family comedy IF and its impending cinema release, which comes right as Blumhouse's Imaginary hits digital/VOD. (Ruh-roh.)

I continue to think that the Beano is as good as it has ever been. Brilliant.

There's a double CD extended score album that's well worth it.

Magazine making and wine drinking. Hope one does not affect the other.

Catching up with the Oscars, I can confirm that Field Of Dreams should - of course - have won Best Picture.

Was it the same people who took out the main departure board and replaced it with a huge advert?!

The main interview at the heart of the film is shot. But keep finding new photos, pieces of archive, things like that. Such an incredible man and story.

Today's coffee has been a 6/10. Did the job, but a bit more kick wouldn't hurt.

Aw thank you. I map out what I want to say, but I don't script it, no. I prepare a lot, but then when I come to talk, the preparation tends to stick in my head. Sounds a bit looser, but more natural?

This was a joy to do. A long podcast chat with Oscar-winning screenwriter Eric Roth about his extensive career. Hope you like it.
