Happy New Year! It's a new year, but it's the same old waffle... or is it?! Tom comes flying into the New Year armed with facts and figures to throw at your ears that come in the form of our 2023 Global Box Office number, our 2024 projection, and a few other little treats that I won't spoil for you here (if anyone even reads this). Once he's done showering you with actual box office analysis, he'll give you a run down of Gower Street's favourite films of the year. You're welcome!
Below is the detailed article about our 2023 number:

In this episode, Tom looks ahead to The Most Wonderful Time of the Year™. The time where we all gather round with friends and family, and try to make studios lots of money at the Box Office. Which film will 'win Christmas'? Where are all the original Christmas films in the cinema? Why so many re-releases?! Tom answers all these questions and more in a festive-filled episode to get you slap bang in the mood for the upcoming holidays.

In this episode, Tom and Lora (yes, again!) talk through the many films releasing in November that are directed by women, which morphs into a wider discussion about the journey of female directors in the film industry as a whole.
Here's the link to the study Lora discussed: https://womenintvfilm.sdsu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2022-its-a-mans-celluloid-world-report-rev.pdf

In this episode - thankfully a shorter one - Tom has a peek at October, the spookiest of all the months. Yet on his voyage of discovery he finds that, in the gamut of upcoming October films, there is something for everyone, not just horror fans! Buckle up, folks, you're in for a wild ride.
And yes, he talks about Taylor Swift.

In this episode, Tom is joined by the absolute legend that is Anna Bogutskaya to discuss a phenomenon he (and definitely no one else) has called 'The Horrornaissance'. Why are more people watching Horror films? When did The Horrornaissance really begin? Why do people enjoy screaming in a dark room full of strangers? Anna has forgotten more about Horror films than most people will ever know, so she's the perfect person to help answer all these questions - and more.
You can find Anna on Twitter (YES, TWITTER) and Instagram at @annabdemented where there are links to all of her work, and her wonderful book 'Unlikeable Female Characters' is available here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Unlikeable-Female-Characters-Women-Culture/dp/1728274745
