Film Highlight
The Menu
Disney+/ HBO |
A delightfully sharp, deranged & delicious dark comedy with a fantastic ensemble cast, that ends far too soon. 'The Menu' is a refreshing atmospheric satire that tackles elitism & social structures head on. A great start to the year!
"A young couple travels to a remote island to eat at an exclusive restaurant where the chef has prepared a lavish menu, with some shocking surprises." |

TV Highlight
The Last of Us
Disney+/ HBO |
Oh my my. Where do I start with this one?!
A critically acclaimed fan favourite game? Check.
Critically acclaimed writers/directors/ showrunners? Check.
The Best Adapted game of all time? Double Check!
'The Last of Us' is only 3 episodes in but has been embraced by the gaming community like a long lost friend. A beautifully adapted story - Craig Mazin (Chernobyl) & Neil Druckmann take a bow - that has the heart & soul of the source material with enough self belief and confidence to build, branch out and stand on its own two feet. This already is one of the best shows of 2023!
"Tasked with escorting a teenager across a post-apocalyptic world, a dreaded smuggler joins hands with a young apprentice to fulfil the mission unscathed."
P.S. This wouldn't have been complete without its own 'Companion Podcast' so here you go! |
