Last night I watched...

Jordan Peele’s Nope is a film I’ve been circling back to since release. On paper, it’s sci-fi horror about UFOs and spectacle. In practice, it’s a strange, ambitious, often frustrating meditation on trauma, exploitation, and our need to look at things that might destroy us.

In this review, I break down what Nope is actually doing beneath the surface, from its unsettling Gordy subplot to its refusal to explain itself in neat genre terms.

A brutal Finnish action film set in the Lapland War, packed with practical effects, raw violence, and grindhouse energy. Directed by Jalmari Helander and starring Jorma Tommila, Sisu blends Western influences with high impact Nordic style. In this review I break down the story, performances, production, and why this stripped back revenge tale worked for me. Genre fans will love its grit, its style, and its unapologetic commitment to chaos.📺 ABOUT *LAST NIGHT I WATCHED...*Every Tuesday, I talk about a forgotten, strange, or misunderstood film and look at what I love or hate about it.

Grab a drink, stoke the fire, and settle in — it’s the Quick (log) Fire Christmas Special! I’m blitzing through 25 festive films, from stone-cold classics to absolute Netflix disasters. Expect everything from It’s a Wonderful Life and Home Alone to Falling for Christmas and Hot Frosty (yes, that fever dream actually exists).

Ryan Coogler’s Sinners (2025) is a haunting blend of vampire horror, Southern blues, and moral reckoning. In this review, I break down how Michael B. Jordan’s dual performance, Ludwig Göransson’s raw Delta soundtrack, and Coogler’s vision of 1930s Mississippi turn the “devil’s music” into a story about blood, heritage, and consequence. Sinners is bold, uneven, and unforgettable, and in this episode I explore what makes it one of the most distinctive horror films of the year.

Vince McMahon isn’t just the face of modern wrestling — he is wrestling. Netflix’s new documentary series Mr. McMahon explores how one man turned a niche sport into global entertainment, only to be consumed by the empire he built.

In this video, I break down what works and what doesn’t: from the incredible archival footage and high-end production to the frustrating editorial blind spots and corporate bias. Is it an honest portrait of power and ego, or just another WWE-approved highlight reel?

Chris Carter followed The X-Files with something far darker, stranger and ultimately less understood: Millennium. Starring Lance Henriksen as profiler Frank Black, the show explored serial killers, end-of-the-world cults, and the creeping dread of the late 1990s.In this episode, I revisit Millennium to unpack what worked, what didn’t, and why it deserves a proper second look.

A focused look at Planes, Trains and Automobiles, covering its structure, the dynamic between Steve Martin and John Candy, and how John Hughes builds tension through small travel failures rather than broad slapstick. The review highlights what still holds up, what dates the film, and why the final reveal remains one of the most effective emotional turns in eighties comedy.

This week on Last Night I Watched… I’m diving into The Others (2000) — the short-lived NBC supernatural drama that vanished almost as soon as it aired. Created by The X-Files producer Glen Morgan, the show followed a group of gifted misfits who could communicate with the dead — years before Ghost Whisperer or Medium made that idea mainstream. It had atmosphere, tension, and proper late-’90s weirdness, but poor timing and network meddling killed it off after just one season. In this review, I revisit what made The Others so haunting, why it never found its audience, and why it might be one of the most overlooked paranormal series of its era.

Can anyone say anything bad about John Candy? Well, not this critic. Here's why.

This week on Last Night I Watched… I take on Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) — the glossy Queen biopic that somehow won Oscars while rewriting rock history. I’m a lifelong Queen fan, but this one is pretty bad. Between the TV-movie melodrama, the bafflingly fake Live Aid recreation, and a script that bends facts into fantasy, it might be one of the worst music films I’ve ever seen. Here's why.
