Curator John @curatorjohn.bsky.social · 18/06/2026I very much enjoyed the Masters of the Universe Spoiler Special.

Curator John @curatorjohn.bsky.social · 08/02/2026The Mastermind segment last week was absolutely compelling listening, we never did find out who played Greedo though. 000
Curator John @curatorjohn.bsky.social · 08/02/2026Catching up on my listening. This was a fun discussion. I think both 28 Years films are masterpieces. I totally agree with @benstravis.bsky.social that In Rainbows is the best Radiohead album so far (also a masterpiece) @helenlohara.bsky.social @jamescdyer.bsky.social @chrishewitt.bsky.social 020
Curator John @curatorjohn.bsky.social · 18/01/2026I've not, but I loved How To Be A Complete Bastard with Ade Edmondson. 000
Curator John @curatorjohn.bsky.social · 10/01/2026What a stellar evening. Incredible guests, hilarious chat.

Curator John @curatorjohn.bsky.social · 31/12/2025Loved listening this year. You were in my top five podcasts. 000
Curator John @curatorjohn.bsky.social · 31/12/2025Thank you! @chrishewitt.bsky.social @helenlohara.bsky.social @jamescdyer.bsky.social And all the contributors @empiremagazine.bsky.social Another year of fantastic listening, expert opinions, great guidance and, of course, complete nonsense. Happy New Year! Looking forward to the show in Jan 040
Curator John @curatorjohn.bsky.social · 06/12/2025Post Apocalypse Christmas by Gruff Rhys is fun and cool (I can't get a link to work, it fails to load blob?!?) 000
Curator John @curatorjohn.bsky.social · 25/09/2025@empiremagazine.bsky.social this just dropped through the door. I think this cover is one of your best ever. Absolutely stunning! 010
Curator John @curatorjohn.bsky.social · 24/08/2025I swapped my dying Fitbit for a Garmin Venu Sq2 and it's great. Really long battery life and you can download Spotify playlists to it if that's your jam. No need for a phone to track and listen to the tunes, or podcasts. 020

Curator John @curatorjohn.bsky.social · 10/05/2025A great listen as always and I'm enjoying @mrgodfrey.bsky.social more regular appearances. I do feel compelled to give a mention to two dynamite Director/Star partnerships: John Carpenter & Kurt Russell and Carl Reiner & Steve Martin. 110
Curator John @curatorjohn.bsky.social · 21/03/2025I knew what Brat Summer was because of you. I can only cope with the news when you present it as the absurdity that it is.

Reposted by Curator JohnEmpire Magazine @empiremagazine.bsky.social · 17/01/2025Since Nosferatu is stalking across UK cinemas now, we’ve got some prizes to give away – so good, they’d even tempt Count Orlok across the seas. 🦇 To win a Nosferatu vinyl LP and candle – follow, repost, and tell us: what’s an LP you reckon Count Orlok has on repeat? 243019
Curator John @curatorjohn.bsky.social · 17/01/2025But my non pedantic answer is Reign in Blood by Slayer 🤟 000
Curator John @curatorjohn.bsky.social · 17/01/2025As the film is set in the 1830s he pre-dates LPs and phonographs so I reckon he'd be rocking Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (a little night music) by Mozart on the music box. That is if he couldn't hypnotise a theatre company to play the contemporary Gothic opera Der Vampyr (1828) by Marschner on demand. 100
Curator John @curatorjohn.bsky.social · 16/01/2025With the inauguration of Donald Trump as US president on Monday, who are your favourite movie presidents, fiction or biopical (?)? I'd suggest a Mount Rushmore but that's a site for vampires and John Carpenter movies, not presidents.media.tenor.coma man in a suit and tie is standing in front of a door .ALT: a man in a suit and tie is standing in front of a door . 000

Curator John @curatorjohn.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Fantastic weekend in London. @aiannucci.bsky.social 's hilarious yet scarily relevant Dr Strangelove with a superb cast including four Steve Coogans. Then the Tim Burton exhibition at The Design Museum. Fascinating! 000
