Based on the Irvine Welsh book of the same name, Porno has already had one adaptation – on the big screen in Trainspotting 2 back in 2017. Like the movie, this is only a loose adaptation of the book and loose is really the best word for it as not a lot happens in this show. After […]
If you’re really into cinema, and you’ve had the pleasure, I’m sure you’d agree that watching film ON film is the most enjoyable way to do so.The whir of the projector if you’re in earshot of it, the popping and crackling on the screen and just knowing you’re watching it in the same manner as […]
Joe Satriani was technically touring not one but two albums at the Palladium, 2020’s Shapeshifting and last year’s The Elephants of Mars. We all know why this was the case, let’s not go into that – but suffice it to say the crowd were thrilled to see him back. The show included two sets, just over […]

Out of all the genres of rock and metal, I’ve always had the biggest problem with Power Metal. Long time listeners of 80’s Picturehouse might remember I cannot stick Manowar for example. I’ve always found them to be absolute cringe-lords to be honest, but I know I shouldn’t tar the entire sub genre with the […]
The Electric Ballroom in Camden is always a great venue for a gig, so seeing as I hadn’t been there in ages for any live music I was thrilled to see a double bill like Reckless Love and The Treatment were playing there. The Treatment were up first, and while it seemed the bulk of the […]
The Sundance London surprise film this year was Halina Reijns Bodies Bodies Bodies. Picked up by A24, and bound to be one of the biggest indie hits of the Summer, the film revolves around a group of rich 20-somethings celebrating a hurricane party in a big house in the middle of nowhere. In between the festivities […]
