My Bournemouth University colleague Dr Laura Crossley and I have co-edited a special edition of the Journal of Popular Film and Television, on the subject of "Geriaction cinema", which is out now. Huge thanks to Rajinder Dudrah, Christa Van Raalte, Lennart Soberon and Gregory Frame for writing such insightful articles!
