I love it when I see senior punks out in the wild. If we must live in a cyberpunk dystopia, we should at least having retirement aged punks like Max Headroom's Blank Reg.

I was impressed by Julia Max's debut feature The Surrender, a horror drama about grief, family and memory which plays like Pet Semetary by way of Ibsen.
Lead Colby Minifie, whose supporting turn in The Boys has been a source of joy for me, doing some sterling work here.

Also, despite later embracing fatherhood, the young Wayne really never seemed like the kind to marry and settle down.

I've paused the trailer just a few seconds in to marvel at the sheer 1970s Canadian Tex Shelter vibe of that opening shot.

Richer than Croesus, but he still can't find a stylist and skin care routine that works. Every time I see an image of him, I'm reminded of the inadvertently hilarious bit in that awful Texas Chainsaw Remake where Leatherface wears Eric Balfour's fissog.

"A lot may have changed for New Dog since we last saw them." Yes, indeed. Last time this clinic saw that dog, she was being cremated. So thoughtful and not at all upsetting to have them ask about her well-being.

I keep this screengrab on my phone to illustrate that very point. Worth noting that, aside from somehow not knowing that Hank sells propane and propane gas accessories, they've also given it a production date of 1998. It started in 1997.

This is what I get when I try to play the clip. Which rather proves the point. Fracking toasters!

Also, some really smart framing choices. I like this shot. Look how the framing also draws our attention to the words on the bus. Cementing positive linkages between him and NYC.

No-one could ever give me a dressing down quite lie the end screen for the ZX Spectrum Max Headroom videogame.
Yeah, did I fail to complete your insanely difficult mix of memory tasks and isometric navigation? Yes, must be because I have no worth as a human and don't deserve good things.
