    Red Dwarf: All Change - Series III

    ★★★½

    ‘All change’ is the perfect title to describe season 3 of Red Dwarf. With the introduction of Mel Bibby, there’s a major evolution of production and set design that gives the show its identity for the rest of the nineties.

Argh! 😱) I do now understand the Oscar hype. Mikey Madison…

    Getting Anora so wildly wrong on the first go round this week, it’s making me question my sanity. And now here we are with another best picture winning director. But there will be no resurrections this time. Worst film since Asteroid City.

    Mark Ruffalo. Somehow, you managed to exceed your eye watering performance from Poor Things. An unthinkable achievement.
