John Carpenter's Escape from New York is a classic. But John Carpenter's Escape from L.A. is almost the exact same story remade with all the sliders turned to 11.

Snake Plissken is deployed into a post-Big One L.A., an area designated by the new christofascist US Government as the dumping ground for all criminals, to retrieve a superweapon stolen by the President's daughter- who was radicalised psychically by an L.A. Revolutionary leader.

Climate change will be experienced as a series of disasters filmed on mobile phones that get progressively closer until it's your phone doing the filming. Currently, Los Angeles is experiencing a wildfire that would have been unimaginable a few decades ago. Directrelief is, as the name suggests, coordinating direct relief for those who have lost everything.

Hey, Devon here. As you well know I've been working with a few gazan families to raise money for their daily living costs in the genocide. As a ceasefire has been announced, we hope soon plenty of Aid can get in and help alleviate the dire famine they're being subjected to. But until then, they still have to afford to eat, so we ask for you to keep helping them out, just a little longer.

Welcome to Kill James Bond 2025, and welcome back to the Ocean's series! Boy, we're only one sequel in and it's already getting VERY thin on the ground here.

The Gang from 'Ocean's 11' continue to do heist nonsense in Europe.

Hey, Devon here. For the past few months I've been talking to a family trapped in Gaza, working to cover their daily living costs amidst repeated displacements in the Genocide. Their names are Ahmed and Layla, and their 4 kids are Jana, Malik, Lana and Amir. Anything you can contribute would mean the world to me. They deserve to live. Attached is their gofundme, as well as three others that I can vouch for the authenticity of.

This week on the Kill James Bond podcast we're honouring our ironclad commitment to international cinema by checking out this film from a small indie country they're calling 'Norway'. Apparently they could afford Stellan Skarsgard, so really good for them. Helping us to unpack this tale of revenge and isolation is Berlin-based artist and writer Ari Nielsson!

Ari's writing can be found at https://www.instagram.com/theoenus/, and copies of his essay collection, Urin, can be found at https://urinbook.bigcartel.com/

In the late 90s, close to half of british state intelligence apparatus and nearly 60% of the GDP was involved in some manner in maintaining a phenomenon known as 'cool Britannia'.

The Spice Girls were a girl band formed from open auditions with the aim of creating a group capable of cutting across every demographic in britain, creating a cultural juggernaut that could rival the Britpop boybands of the day.

At the height of their success, their manager's brother wrote a film about them, with them playing themselves. This is that film.
