Remember how 60 years ago STAR TREK had an episode about a planet whose inhabitants’ technology to create convincing fake shit was so advanced that the Federation decided no one could visit that planet and doing so was punishable by death?

Inspired by @seanfennessey.bsky.social and the Physical Media High Council, me and my @spocklightpod.bsky.social co-host, Paul, started a new tradition of sending eachother film postcards found in fancy Blu-ray sets (which led to a projector screening of Basic Instinct in this case).

Sam Peckinpah’s Straw Dogs is one of my favourite films of all time, it is also an admittedly problematic and undeniably controversial work so it makes sense that @scottmurphy.bsky.social and myself needed two and a half hours to even begin unpacking it.

Scott Murphy @scottmurphy.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

Due to it's polarising nature this was a difficult one to tackle but hopefully I did this great but frequently troubling and, at times, deeply problematic movie justice. Luckily, I had the excellent @liamhdempsey.bsky.social alongside me to tackle this one and I think it came out pretty well.
