There once was a man called David O Russell,
Who once made a film called American Hustle,
You should never repeat words when you’re writing a poem,
But I’ve never been one for poetry, so sit down and listen to our review already, geez.

#American Hustle #POETS ON TUMBLR #sunshine radio #podcast #reviewThe Sunshine Radio studios are being refurbished as I type this, and it’s unclear when exactly we’ll get back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Luckily, there’s a couple of Cinema Club reviews in the chamber to tide you over. The first is for Dad’s Army which, being a big-screen adaptation of a famous British sitcom, 99% of people outside the UK will never see.
They won’t miss much…
We missed the cinematic release, but we made damn sure to catch up with Catching Fire once it hit DVD. Listen to our review!
You can also hear our review of the first movie here.
We’re catching up with some of our favourite films of 2015 on the Sunshine Cinema Club (Star Wars review and top ten coming soon). Here’s our review of The Martian.
The Wolf of Wall Street: Chest-thumping, or butt-numbing?
Find out in this, the only review you’ll need!*
Side-note: it feels really awkward to reduce a movie as complicated and widely-discussed as this one to a one sentence plug for a review. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Cop Car was something of a hidden gem this year. Here’s our review, which will hopefully encourage more people to check it out.
The critical smash hit Jupiter Ascending is our latest review!
Is this sci-fi flop as dead-on-arrival as popular consensus suggests, or does it have more to offer beyond Eddie Redmayne’s bizarre performance?
Knock knock, motherfucker. John Wick, the action movie equivalent of Pixar’s Up is our latest cinema review!
The UK’s biggest movie of 2015 was Spectre. Here’s our review.
here’s our frank review of ‘frank’!!!
lol, just kidding. we don’t get too serious on this one! keeping it light!
It’s that time of year again (three weeks into January because to hell with arbitrary deadlines) where I look back at the music I enjoyed from the previous year. Once again, I’m sticking with the single post, capsule review format I used last year, because it turns out working full-time leaves you with less time to spend on other stuff (seems pretty fucked up if you ask me).
It never feels like my listening habits are changing year on year, but it’s interesting to note the differences in hindsight. For instance, this will be the first time I don’t crown an “album of the year”. Ultimately, there wasn’t a full-length release that broke through my admittedly ridiculously high standards. That said, 17 of the songs on this list come from albums I really enjoyed listening to, and the other 3 are standalone singles, so it’s fair to say the overall quality of 2023’s music was pretty good. I had to put in the time and listen and re-listen to a lot of different artists to come to that conclusion, but it feels like I’ve gone on a similar journey for the last four years in a row now. And, because I always end up discovering plenty of new acts and settling on 20 songs that I truly love that I’m excited to share, I never feel like that time and energy has been wasted!
Below, you’ll find the list of my 20 favourite songs of 2023 (YouTube links in the headings, Spotify embed at the bottom), along with a few words about why I love each particular one. Let’s go!
