🐊 NEW EPISODE 🐊
We're back! Our #NatureBitesBack season continues as @michaeljblyth joins @TheMovieMike to discuss two Lewis Teague animal attack movies from the 80s...ALLIGATOR (1980) and CUJO (1983)

⚡New on the Curzon Journal: @michaeljblyth speaks with THE ZONE OF INTEREST's Oscar-nominated sound designer @johnnieburn about the deliberate, meaning-shaping contrast between visuals and sound in the film. Read the interview here: bit.ly/4bouc0x
Absolutely floored by Andrew Haigh's ALL OF US STRANGERS at #LFF2023. Unbelievably good. However, as a single gay man in his 40s who grew up in Croydon, that film really should have come with a trigger warning. I fear I may never stop crying.
