In Here’s The Thing Mark regaled us with stories of his trip to Tromsø to play at the TIFF with Neil Brand and the Dodge Brothers, to accompany a silent movie. He also announced his upcoming BBC Series Mark Kermode’s Screen Stories, coming in April. He is joined on stage by guest Lucy Cohen, who comes to talk about her debut The Kingdom of Us (2017). In Coming Attractions, Mark heralds the release of Early Man (2018). Mark proudly announces that he has a writing credit on Friedkin’s film The Devil and Father Amorth (2017). Mark loves the stunt work in films and to honour it does a List-O-Mania on Top Ten Stunt Sequences in films. Another Coming attraction is Nightshooters (2018), a low budget martial arts film, its star Jean-Paul Ly comes to talk about and demonstrate his skills. Alex Cox comes to talk about his back catalogue Repo Man (1984) and Sid & Nancy (1986), and his love of The Prisoner television series. Tonight’s showstopper was My Way sung by Gary Oldman – now nominated for playing Churchill – here playing Sid Vicious in Sid & Nancy.
