  • #111 The Phoenician Scheme
    Jun 30 2025

    Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme is everything you’d expect from the pastel-saturated, deadpan-drenched auteur. A plutocrat attempts to dominate the economy of a fictional Middle Eastern nation with a series of mining and fishing ventures. It’s surreal and achingly contemporary. Check out the latest review.

  • #110 The Graduate
    Jun 4 2025

    The Graduate: a sharp, stylish coming-of-age satire about Benjamin Braddock, a disillusioned college graduate who’s 'seduced' by the older Mrs Robinson - only to fall for her daughter. Almost surreal, Hitchcokian in parts, it captures the aimlessness of youth and the absurdity of adult expectations.
