I tried to pack loads of interesting and stuff into this chat about Rez High, storytelling, dystopias, David Bowie, worldbuilding, and much more. Thanks to my pal @alasdairstuart.com for the thoughtful questions. alasdairstuart.com/interview-br...

Video games can offer 'Aha!' breakthroughs like the best mystery stories of any medium but in many games, players can idly smash through by spamming combinations. The worst games leave their 'multiple guess' dynamic too close to the surface. A shame that Ace Attorney sometimes succumbs to this.

Happy birthday to this fella, Phoenix Wright. The first Ace Attorney game was published 25 years ago today. By turns relatably sweaty and aspirationally shrewd, he might be the best sleuth in modern video games, with an impressive number of fairly solid cases to puzzle out (or brute force away).

Chronovisor is definitely enmeshed with films and styles of the past, appropriately enough. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPt2...

This is how I just learned there's a film about the Chronovisor and now I'm going to track down a screening as fast as I can.

The booking email for Quentin Tarantino's The Popinjay Cavalier comes with this artwork.

A swashbuckling image of a mustachioed swordsman, a woman in pink and a rooftop swordfight.

It looks like Albert Dupontel is up to his usual tricks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVHU...

That time someone dumped a toy house on the cemetery wall and, when I crouched a bit, some ✨ Hollywood Magic ✨ occurred.

A plastic dolls house sitting on a wall, taken from an angle which makes it look as if it might be one of the houses on the street.

Love it.

Oh! That's a surprise I can't connect the bits I'm thinking of to The Dark Tower at all so I've apparently forgotten something. I can just about join the dots to Firestarter.

When you crack the code, please tell the rest of us.

Did TVS get their pictures of famous people from the guy who does caricatures on Brighton Pier?

I've seen one episode of Carrie and... ?!?! Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

The poster for The Fury with Amy Irving. "You can't close your mind to... The Fury".

I very much want to know all about this shot in the new Exorcist Martyrs trailer.

What looks like a plan view of a shopping centre diorama or model with many plain, featureless human figurines standing about it in an even distribution.

The Last Temptation of Becky takes us on a rollicking ride of Nazi splatting and that's not to be underappreciated. This was one of my very favourite films at Frightfest this year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQrx...

I hope Nick and Benji are sitting down.

@brendonconnelly.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 2:49 PM

Will this have a 'While Shepherds wash their socks by night' joke, @mrrobvalentine.bsky.social, or will I have to write in?

@brendonconnelly.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 2:46 PM

Well played, you lot. ✨
