I made no friends on campus, had zero-night stands, and my only attempt at joining a club was one painful night on a debate team. Colour everyone shocked, then, that I’d latch onto this myth-debunking college comedy from Benito Skinner like a leech on a boil.

This piece is supported byWho’s the f*ckboy? Who’s the potential husband? And who’s the serial-killing psychopath? Those are the questions confronting one woman in new horror-comedy F*** Marry Kill—streaming on Prime Video.

Back for its second season, The Last of Us continues to build and expand upon its beloved video game source material. Daniel Rutledge reflects on an impressive first episode – and the challenges to come. There’s one scene in this episode that encapsulates a lot of what this show gets just right.

A national treasure? Of course. An Academy Award winner? Also true (for 2003 short Harvie Krumpet). But most importantly, an animation auteur whose style has become instantly recognisable worldwide.
