In Civil War, there’s a scene that is striking for how it lets Kirsten Dunst, briefly, engage with a war film like she’s on a Sofia Coppola set. Alex Garland’s latest feature is set in a fictional second American Civil War that’s been going on for an unknown number of years. Dunst plays tenured war photographer Lee Smith, whose reputation is widely known but has taken a decade-plus toll.

Clarisse Loughrey’s Show of the Week column, published every Friday, spotlights a new show to watch or skip. This week: retro dramedy Palm Royale.

Of course, there are plenty of shows about the rich—too many, in fact.

Rather than reviewing Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Eliza Janssen uses one character as a microcosm of the entire, self-cannibalising legacy sequel project: green, mean, slobber machine Slimer. Vale. I haven’t seen Ghostbusters: Afterlife. I’ve seen every other Ghostbusters movie, including the latest sequel Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, currently getting the cold shoulder from critics and the box office.

Clarisse Loughrey’s Show of the Week column, published every Friday, spotlights a new show to watch or skip. This week: apocalyptic video-game adaptation Twisted Metal, newly available to UK audiences. I can’t help but admire the guts on Twisted Metal, a show whose entire first season is really a prologue for a second season it was never guaranteed to receive.
