Steve Bowbrick writes a guide to the history of Hollywood told through the top-grossing movie from every year since 1913.
Now in GROSS, a two-parter about Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey: Working in orbit and Brilliant, fastidious, ridiculous; The Brutalist - holocaust as plot twist; The Graduate - certain natural urges; What's the point of the Oscars?; The Bible - two by two.

You'll probably also want some GROSS merch, t-shirts and mugs on obscure Hollywood themes, like Abel Gance's 1927 Napoléon, a very obscure frame from one of Hitchcock's last British movies and an original coffee mug from the Freedonian Consulate in Los Angeles.
GROSS is a Bowbrick production.
There's also Bowblog, a first-generation blog from the 1990s and Radlett Wire, a sarcastic account of the politics of a small town in Hertfordshire.
