2026 Trailer..

Jay dives back into dinosaurs this time through the strange, nostalgic fever dream of Dinotopia (2002), where humans and talking dinosaurs somehow coexist in a perfectly civilised utopia.From Lee Evans voicing a neurotic Stenonychosaurus to the science of extinction, evolution, and why birds are technically modern dinosaurs, this episode blends childhood memory with real-world palaeontology. Along the way, Jay asks the big question: if Dinotopia were real, could humans actually live alongside dinosaurs—or would it collapse into chaos faster than a Jurassic Park sequel?Expect a mix of humour, science, and existential dread, covering everything from city planning with brachiosaurs to dinosaur ethics, modern ecology, and why we already live in a low-budget version of Dinotopia (we just call them pigeons).It’s part nostalgia trip, part reality check and part reminder that if humans ever did share the world with giant prehistoric creatures, we’d probably find a way to make it weird.If you’ve made it this far, you’re either genuinely interested in Film and TV… or you’ve forgotten to turn this off.

After vanishing in October 2020 and confidently promising a return in summer 2022 (which went… brilliantly), Jay has finally re-emerged on 3rd July 2026 with something resembling a podcast again. Expect film and TV chat, behind-the-scenes insight, mispronounced words, forgotten hearing aids, and the ongoing confusion of someone who’s worked in the industry for over a decade… yet still sounds like he’s winging it in real time.No structure. No overthinking. Just rambling.He might even upload again.If you’ve made it this far, you’re either genuinely interested in Film and TV… or you’ve forgotten to turn this off.

After disappearing for six years, Jay Finlayson returns with the most on-brand comeback possible, no plan, no structure, and far too much to explain. From grief and burnout to joining the ambulance service (for reasons still unclear), getting married, and slowly finding his way back to film, this is a chaotic, honest reset.Season 2 kicks off with a mix of self-awareness, and the real story behind the silence. It’s messy, it’s unfiltered, and it’s probably the most accurate reintroduction you’re going to get.Proper episodes start July 10th… assuming history doesn’t repeat itself.Shout-out / Festival Plug:Also, quick one before we get into things. if you’re a horror filmmaker, I run an international horror film festival called Fear Screen (https://fearscreen.com) We’re always looking for bold, original, and genuinely unsettling work, so if you’ve got something you want people to experience on the big screen, head over and submit.

Torture porn is a name given to a genre of films that exploits violence and torture of the film characters for satisfaction of the antagonist, but can it also be used as stereotypical porn? In this episode I use Adam Rehmeier's 2012 The Bunny Game as an example of similar films that are boarding pornographic material.
