Hi! I’m Gareth, a film enthusiast who loves movies and their legacy, along with the picture houses that play them.

This is a place to explore the history and legacy of film, cinema and the movie watching cultures of others.

My newsletter aims to provide an insight into my own research, as well as interesting things from cinema land and how it has shaped us over time. There are regular history posts, my trips to unique cinemas across the U.K and other film based writing.

Do you like any of these things?

  1. Movies

  2. History

  3. Culture

If yes, then this newsletter is for you

Who is Popped for?

This is an accessible Substack for people who love film, but perhaps haven’t thought about it that much before. If you have studied film, you’ll probably eye-roll at some of the stuff I come out with. But that’s fine! Subscribe, join the conversation and tell me how far off I am!

If you would like that final push through the door, here is my first post about my own “reel story”…

Oh, go on then!
