"A relationship between a brother and a sister that spoke to me in so many ways. They have a very unique relationship and I just love well-written books about a family's unhealthy dynamics."

Love craft Country is a great mixture of sci - fi, horror and drama. Historical attitudes help to purvey the themes of sexuality, gender, class and race very well.

"And books, well, The Little Prince comes to mind. Because that was my first performance ever. I performed the Little Prince in Suffolk Cathedral when I was 17. It was my first time onstage."

Rolling Stone's 186th greatest album of all time
Good soulful funk-rock album, much better than I had expected based on their earlier disco work (Dance to the Music etc). Well worth another listen.

Rolling Stone's 273rd greatest album of all time (412th in the 2020 list)
Good soul album, includes some well-known (or otherwise covered) songs. Slightly disappointed some of their biggest hits weren't included here.

Really good homage to the horror films of the 80s with an interesting premise. The group of friends has really good chemistry and the banter is there as well making for a solid movie.

As with the other series on Netflix (more notably Jesse Jones), I felt this series was a little dragged out to the agreed 13 episodes.
The story is good with Luke playing the underdog well, and the different setting of Harlem worked well.
My favourite moment was in the flashback after Luke escaped from Seagate prison and ended up dressed like the 70s comic equivalent for a brief moment
