|
|
TV | Boybands Forever
"An absolutely brilliant take on the emergence of the boy band genre in the 90s onwards alongside the young men who embodied those groups. Anything that reminds one of the 2x Baked Potato story from Brian Harvey is worth a watch for that alone."

Boybands Forever | Trailer | BBC
|
|
Podcast | The Rest is Entertainment
"A highly informative and informal look at the inner workings of main stream media. Presented by Writer and TV Producer and Presenter Richard Osman and Journalist Marina Hyde."
|
|
|
YouTube | Grand Illusions
"A charming YouTube channel with basic production values, yet sky-high audience subscription and retention. Utterly bonkers toy collector Tim reviews and showcases toys from his vast and growing collection. Set against a black void, these videos are simultaneously charming and deeply engaging."

|
Dragon Illusion | Grand Illusions
|
|
Film | The Boy and the Heron
"A potentially final film by Director and Animator Hayao Miyazaki about a boy who ventures into a dreamlike world shared by both the living and the dead. Beautiful animation combined with a gripping and immersive story further showcase Studio Ghilbi's undeniable quality."

TV | 24 Hours in Police Custody
"A landmark documentary series that forms around the 24hrs from the moment of a suspect's arrest. Capturing real life drama at its most intense, this follows police detectives around the clock as they investigate major (and often brutal) crimes."
