Top Picks: TV

Rain Dogs (March 7)

Dang, now I just want to listen to that Tom Waits album again. British comedy talent Daisy May Cooper stars in this funny yet fearless series full of harsh truths about the sacrifices parents make for their kids—especially parents dealing with the brutal cycle of poverty. Mum Costello (Cooper) will do anything for her precocious daughter Iris, and luckily they have a chaotic found family of ex-lovers and besties to support them. But the temptation to act crooked in a crooked world will challenge the pair, and trying to play fair from the fringes of society might not be enough.

The Last Of Us: Season 1 Finale (March 13)

I am not a gamer, so it’s been impressive to hear die-hard The Last of Us fans praise HBO’s TV adaptation for improving on the game’s soul-crushing storyline in many subtle ways. Episode by episode, we’ve been introduced to characters we love and then quickly grieve, with protagonist Joel (the indomitable Pedro Pascal) seemingly bleeding out in the snow in one recent cliffhanger. We know that the greatest fear facing teen messiah Ellie (Bella Ramsey) is of ending up alone, so she’ll do whatever it takes to keep this gruff father figure in her life in the final episodes. Expect the pair’s bond to be tested like never before in the devastating final episode of season 1: Joel may not be willing to make horrible personal decisions for the good of a shattered, post-apocalyptic mankind.

Succession: Season 4 (March 27)

Oh how the turntables have turned. The dynamic change in the Roy siblings since season one of this acclaimed, brilliantly written business comedy is obvious, with their surprising solidarity in season three’s finale a world away from their competitive bitchiness back in the day. We suspect it’ll be tested beyond its limits in these hugely anticipated new episodes, with monster dad Logan (Brian Cox) now seeing that his kiddos are out from under his thumb, if not invulnerable to his spiteful scheming. And now Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) and Greg (Nicholas Braun) have signed away their souls to the dad side, too: prepare for more Shakespearean boardroom backstabbing and genius f-bomb-laden insults.

Top Picks: Movies

Nope (March 9)

Guess which western/sci-fi spectacle was voted as our absolute fave film of 2022. Jordan Peele’s haunting, thought-provoking tale of siblings up against a mysterious alien force is, I’d say, much more effective upon rewatch. It’s got a funny rhythm that doesn’t quite come together until that awesome horse-riding, inflatable-flailing-arm-man-chasing climax, so entering the world of OJ (Daniel Kaluuya) and Emerald (Keke Palmer) a second time brings the themes of spectatorship, fame, shame and trauma out in a much bolder way. The Gordy’s Home subplot is one of my favourite horror moments I’ve ever seen, right from that skin-crawling opening scene.

Elvis (March 21)

Austin Butler is winning a hunk-a-hunk-a burnin’ awards for his full-bodied transformation into The King in Baz Luhrmann’s predictably flamboyant biopic, and now you can stream it from the comfort of home to find out why. He’s exceptional particularly in Elvis’ paunchy, medicated Vegas years, bringing all the cowboy confidence and musicality of Presley roaring to life. I just wish Baz had relied on a few more of his over-caffeinated, anachronistic musical touches: the film isn’t as whirlwind-wild as, say, Moulin Rouge, and the narratorial focus on Tom Hanks’ goofy manager Colonel Tom was a bit of a misstep. Still: a new King has entered the building, baby.

All My Friends Hate Me (March 29)

If you’ve ever indulged in the irrational fear that everyone’s out to get you, this British thriller might hit uncomfortably close to home. It utilises outlandish horror sequences to illustrate protagonist Pete’s (Tom Stourton) anxiety, when his mates spontaneously invite a rough townie to their weekend getaway in the country. Safe to say it’s anything but a relaxing holiday, and Rory Doherty even included it in our list of the creepiest movies set in the British countryside. “It’s equal parts terror-inducing and pitiable”, Doherty wrote of Pete: “his friends’ unabashed poshness and the addition of a mysterious, brash local makes the isolation of the massive manor an increasingly unsettling setting.”
