After rewatching The Omen II, where part of the Thorn Industries corporate strategy is that famine is a growth sector, I do wonder if - given climate change - Putin’s goal in invading Ukraine (“the breadbasket of Europe”) is to corner the m

Once, as a kid in the UK about thirty five years ago, I was watching ahem a movie for grown ups, and chicken Man provided the musical accompaniment to a scene. Most discombobulating.
