Everyone has a podcast these days. They’re fun, free to
listen to, easy to make, and can be about anything. It’s democratic for sure,
but surely we’ve hit peak podcast by now? I mean I wouldn’t be surprised if my
three-week-old nephew is reviewing toys and cartoons on SoundCloud somewhere.

OSCARS 2016
There’s no way to make the ‘best’ film. It’s not like sport –
art can’t score points like a team or be measured like a javelin throw, because
creativity is subjective. The thought of actors and other filmmakers competing
against each other is kind of sad really. It’s not like we only have to watch
one film ever again – there doesn’t have to be a winner. A lot of great films
and filmmakers never won an Oscar, never even had a look in. Not to mention all
the politicking behind the scenes that probably really decides who wins, and
the well-known diversity issues over the years. So the Oscars are kind of dumb.
