Spoke to the team behind Stranger Things: Tales From 85 for this bumper issue of @SFXmagazine!

Also inside, I spoke to the director of Mortal Kombat II, Simon McQuoid. I've been sitting on that one for an age – almost a year since I saw the film. Crazy!

[Jack J. Shepherd @JackJShepherd]

My interview with #TheBoys Eric Kripke led to an accidental mini (funny) exclusive:

The BCU (Boys Cinematic Universe) is now called the VCU (Vought Cinematic Universe).

I wrote about it on my Substack, plus more quotes from Kripke https://t.co/3BymfrAl2L

@JordanFarley @SFXmagazine Thanks Jordan!

Some quotes from my @SFXmagazine cover feature doing the rounds online – Eric Kripke said a lot!

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

‘THE BOYS’ showrunner Eric Kripke criticizes “big epic sci-fi shows” that end with no major deaths

“At the end, it's like, 'Oh, everyone's fine.' I keep yelling at the screen, 'Things cost things, you can't just get away with this!' So yes, I wouldn't get too attached to any single [The Boys] character.”

coming out later this week – I interviewed the crew behind #TheBoys for SFX's cover feature!

A lot of fun covering the final season of a great show. Available on Wednesday

[SFX magazine @SFXmagazine]

The new issue of SFX is on sale from 25 March!

[Jack J. Shepherd @JackJShepherd]

I watched the film this week (finally) and it blew my mind! You can read why on my Substack: https://t.co/ylqHkySkPi

[Jack J. Shepherd @JackJShepherd]

Almost two years ago, I visited the set of the movie Worldbreaker, and if you squint very hard, you can see me...

And I mean really, really hard.

[Jack J. Shepherd @JackJShepherd]

i've started a Substack!

It's called Bonus Content, and it's all the extra stuff that I want – and need – to write about, but not for any real publication. My latest post on why watching Marty Supreme was a surreal experience...

[Jack J. Shepherd @JackJShepherd]

Also this issue, a write-up of my trip to Vancouver from January, when I went to the set of Percy Jackson S2! I can't share any pics from the set just yet (there are some in the mag), so here's me having a pint in Canada...

Part 2 of my #StrangerThings5 coverage for SFX!

Had another session with the Duffer brothers, showed Linda Hamilton around my house (on Zoom), and spoke to Sadie Sink, Shawn Levy, and Jamie Bower Camber.

[Jack J. Shepherd @JackJShepherd]

my review of Stranger Things 5 Part 1.

Fun fact, the very first episode of Stranger Things came out two days after David Cameron left office as Prime Minister... It's fair to say, the new season has been a long time coming 😂

[Jack J. Shepherd @JackJShepherd]

Looks like a few places are writing up my #StrangerThings quotes online – here's just a small part of what's in the new issue of SFX from @whatonnetflix.

And you can buy the mag here: https://t.co/pMymeWPxAv

[What's on Netflix @whatonnetflix]

SFX Magazine just released a 20-page feature on STRANGER THINGS season 5 and it's got some big revelations on what's coming up in the final season.

We touch on some of them plus talk to the editor in chief about the issue.

@Shortlanduk @LostBoysPod New episode coming shortly!

[Jack J. Shepherd @JackJShepherd]

The new @SFXmagazine is out in a couple of days, but my Tron: Ares piece has been almost two years in the making...

I went to the Vancouver set in Jan 2024, rode a Lightcycle, then caught up with Joachim Rønning and Steven Lisberger a few weeks ago for more insight!

[Jack J. Shepherd @JackJShepherd]

And because variety is the spice of life, I spoke to Danny Dyer (!) not too long ago...

https://t.co/U9gsn6zf46

[Jack J. Shepherd @JackJShepherd]

Also, because I'm apparently getting very bad at sharing work on here, a few months ago, I spoke to the Phillipou brothers about Bring Her Back – a movie with a real sense of evil.

That was in the Alien: Earth issue of SFX, still available to buy here: https://t.co/NgdDaPNLPg

[Jack J. Shepherd @JackJShepherd]

My review of the new Jurassic World, a movie I wanted to love but...

[Jack J. Shepherd @JackJShepherd]

My review of Ballerina is up!

[Total Film @totalfilm]

From the World of John Wick: Ballerina has some of the franchise's best action, even if there's a sense that we've seen this before. Read our full review: https://t.co/LivhWhlwWN
