An epic movie demands an epic conversation. @stevehackman1.bsky.social and I were delighted to invite my dear friend @evrimersoy.bsky.social onto the show to discuss David Lean’s indisputable masterpiece LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. One of my favourite Every Best Pictures so far: youtu.be/LGdcxqIyOPs?...
There are better options. Some thoughts on the recent Kirk Cameron “hell” controversy.

Loved talking through this episode with James
THE APARTMENT: after a bit of a hiatus, @stevehackman1.bsky.social and I return to our Every Best Picture series, joined this episode by my longtime crony @pierceconran.bsky.social to discuss this seminal romantic comedy and all things Billy Wilder. Enjoy! youtu.be/8n0gvRblAD0?...
In 1 Samuel 8 the people of Israel demanded that Samuel give them a king. Samuel goes on to explain to the people that a king will control them, abuse them, and use their lives to further his own.
And yet, surprisingly they replied, "We still want a king over us!"
Elon should have taken a hint from Mike Pense, Jeff Sessions, Rudy Giuliani, Michael Cohen etc. on how these Faustian relationships with Trump end 😂. Now I am just enjoying my popcorn and watching the show
“With Tesla sales tanking, Tesla stock slumping and angry Tesla investors demanding reasons on why Musk seems committed to brand self-destruction, a humbled Elon leaves the Trump orbit like so may before him; frustrated, diminished, and wondering why he ever made that Faustian deal to begin with."
Watching MASH with my late father when I was a kid is such a fond memory. Rest well Loretta Swit
Happy Easter! What better day to dive deep into one of Hollywood’s most lavish and beloved biblical epics. For our latest Every Best Picture @stevehackman1.bsky.social & I are joined by the wonderful David Canfield to discuss William Wyler’s 11-time Oscar winner BEN-HUR: youtu.be/T0ECTIiNl0E?...
It’s been my home for decades. A lot of changes here
Meanwhile Russia’s Putin & China’s Xi look on and must wonder if they are getting pranked as their most cherished foreign policy goal, the splitting of the Western alliance, gets enacted by the very man trusted to protect it.
I grew up watching him hosting game shows. Rest well Wink!
NeZha 2 is the highest grossing animated film ever and has just overtaken Star Wars: The Force Awakens to be the 5th highest grossing film overall. With a cultural phenomena like that @marshy00.bsky.social and I felt we needed to jump in and give our thoughts on Ne Zha 2 #nezha2
MAGA when “X” goes down must be a lot like teenagers when they lose the internet; lots of confusion and not quite knowing what to do now. My advice is the same, “go outside, play, and get some fresh air” 🙏😇

“That was the offer. I’ll deliver your cultural war victory but you have to defend me at best, or remain silent at worst, while I corrupt America’s soul.”
The whole world witnessed the U.S. President shake down a loyal ally on live TV in order to make an eventual deal with our adversary. #treason
As kids I played a comp game called BALANCE OF POWER where as the President you used soft power to increase your influence against the Soviets. Later we just started goofing around and would suddenly stop funding our allies and start siding with the Soviets Our allies would go nuts! Just a kids game
No doubt good Christians who have “accepted Jesus as their personal Lord & Saviour” 😢😅😇
Same, when you are given glasses with blue lens, you see everything in blue whether it is or isn’t. When we are told for years salvation is primarily about afterlife placement it’s really hard not to read certain verses through that broken lens
I’ve spent years asking myself “Why do I believe what I believe?” Here is another piece of that puzzle
With Trump pardoning even violent participants, Jan 6 is an open wound that will continue to fester rather than heal.

Remembering David Lynch
Always a Detroiter! Go Lions! #detroitlions
Absolutely tragic!
Getting the “Christingles” ready for the afternoon Christmas Eve church service at St. John’s Cathedral #christmas #hongkonglife
Four people representing four various positions on Christianity, science, atheism, suffering, and what it means to be human engaging in a dialogue of mutual respect and holding any certainty they have balanced with a healthy dose of humility?
Well, this is my love language.
I have no excuse for never having read this classic but that shall be corrected as it’s the first selection for a new book club I am starting for 2025.
