British Film Festival Fisherman’s Friends: One and All Movie Review
The album went gold selling over 150,000 copies and in these days of streaming that is an impressive number.

Don’t Worry Darling Movie Review
Don't Worry Darling is a challenging experience but one that will reward those that don’t need to be spoon-fed their films. Its narrative is something on the surface but almost entirely different under that facade. Its bright and colourful fifties persona hides a dark secret.
