When Twin Peaks first aired here in the UK in 1990 I was obsessed, collecting articles from magazines and recording each episode to VHS; a David Lynch-obsessed 16 year old who dreamed of drinking black coffee at the Double R Diner. 32 years later, I did just exactly that. Back in 2008 I took my… Read More A Twin Peaks Locations Tour
It was inevitable that when visiting friends in New Mexico (especially those who love the Breaking Bad world as much as I do) that we would end up visiting locations from the show. Better Call Saul brought us back to some familiar locations (Loyola’s, Mike’s house) and plenty of new ones. There are plenty of… Read More A Better Call Saul Tour of New Mexico
This really should have been the first thing I posted on this blog. I was introduced to New Mexico through Breaking Bad, and it’s the show that took me to that part of the US in the first place, but it’s become a favourite place to visit, filled with good friends, hot chile (yes, that… Read More A Breaking Bad Tour of New Mexico – Part 1
I’ve collected enough photos of NYC over the last 20 years to write a dozen blog posts but my last trip there was mainly based around visiting some of the locations seen in Netflix’s Daredevil and The Punisher. Years ago, spending August in New York for me was a summer of theatre, baseball, staying out… Read More A Punisher/Daredevil tour of New York City
Last year I wrote about my 2016 trip to Atlanta where I spent the weekend (courtesy of the fantastic Atlanta Movie Tours) enjoying all things The Walking Dead, visiting locations, meeting extras, watching episodes, posing with walkers…that kind of thing. In fact, I loved it all so much that I went back. And did all the… Read More Atlanta – The Walking Dead Tours (Again)
After a few underwhelming days in Venice I flew to Dubrovnik to hopefully improve my holiday and to soak up some more Game of Thrones locations. Dubrovnik featured as the fictional capital King’s Landing from Season 2 onwards and although some key scenes had the help of some nifty CGI, the city is as beautiful… Read More Dubrovnik – A Game of Thrones trip to King’s Landing
I was on the fence about going to this event for months, but I recently fell back into a Walking Dead spiral so the decision was made in typical “fuck it” style. Most signing events I go to are held in soulless expo halls but this was in a University, offering an abundance of loos,… Read More Wales Comic Con
A binge-rewatch of The Walking Dead last spring confirmed how much I really loved the show, so during the summer holidays a Michigan-based friend of mine and I agreed to meet up in Atlanta to do some of the locations tours. I hadn’t been to Atlanta since 2003, when I spent 45 miserable minutes at… Read More The Walking Dead Tours
My love affair with Breaking Bad is known to most of my friends – perhaps I’ll do a post about how deep that love affair goes – and one of the effects of it is a love for Bryan Cranston. In May 2014 I flew to Broadway to see him on stage in All The… Read More An Evening With Bryan Cranston
A few weeks before HBO aired Season 4 of Game of Thrones in 2014, I gave in to peer pressure and started to watch it. Mainlined 3 seasons in no time at all, fell hook, line and sinker for the damn show, and within a few weeks I’d booked a flight to Belfast to see… Read More HBO Game of Thrones Exhibition
