    I think I am too terminally online and have seen too many one shot films to be shocked or in owe of this, but for mainstream audiences this will certainly open a dialogue. 

    As always, we are a fan of Stephen Graham.

    This is so half-arsed I’m genuinely shocked it’s not on Netflix.

    Joel Kim Booster: Psychosexual

    ★★★★

    Slow start but got progressively funnier. 

    I like how heckling the crowd actually had a point and added to the wider act. 

    This plus Fire Island means I’m now a Joel Kim Booster stan. Honestly I could just listen to him talk about himself for hours.

    Doctor Who: The Giggle

    ★★★★

    Okay this one was easily the best of the three 60th anniversary specials. And honestly feels like the most indicative of what is to come with this new era of Doctor Who - for gen z, completely absurdist. 

    Neil Patrick Harris is having a whale of a time and his performance manages to anchor the horrifying and comedic perfectly (significantly better than the previous episode). Additionally, I just love seeing a franchise this big be this sincere and unabashedly emotional and cathartic. 

    Also I’m all in on Ncuti Gatwa, but I don’t think people who aren’t can be trusted.
