Steve joins Hugh Sundae in the studio to review the new Sly and The Family Stone doco Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius), a new addition to the Predator franchise Predator: Killer of Killers, and the new Pedro Pascal flick Materialists by Celine Song which is mostly rom and not so much com.
Steve recommends a couple good series to hunker down with as Winter kicks-in. First up is the series Mind Menders with Sonia Grey which investigates psychedelic therapy for mental health treatments and tracks the recent LSD trial at the University of Auckland. Then, Steve talks Murderbot and why you should watch it on cold and rainy nights.
This week Steve recaps and highly recommends the just-released surburban horror movie from the Philippou brothers Bring Her Back, and a new film from the director of Succession titled Mountainhead that focuses on the machinations of tech billionaires.
Steve Newall gives us an update on the beginnings of the Cannes Film Festival and the reboot of the Final Destination franchise (it's sillier, gorier, and worth a watch!)
