Since losing to Man City in April, we have won 14 out of 15 PL games with one loss. This is the most wins Arsenal has put together in a 15 game stretch in the league since 2002. Super Mikel Arteta 👌🏽

For some reason I watched 24-hours of Louis Theroux documentaries non-stop: theguardian.com/tv-and-radio…
How much Louis Theroux is too much? I cracked after 22 hours

Wrote about the brilliant Calibre for the @guardian: theguardian.com/film/2022/ja…

My streaming gem: why you should watch Calibre

The latest in our series of writers highlighting lesser-known films available to stream is an ode to an excruciatingly tense Scottish thriller

Hear me out: why 1998's Godzilla isn't a bad movie

Continuing our series of writers defending unloved movies is a reappraisal of Roland Emmerich’s silly, bombastic take on the giant monster
