Watch
Everybody Wants Some!! is my favourite film of 2016 so far (with Hail, Caesar! a close second - clearly extraneous exclamation marks are doing it for me this year). A hilarious look at a bunch of hormonal eighteen year old boys starting college in 1980, its nostalgia for the period is pitch perfect. Beyond the surface though, is a thoughtful exploration of hidden vulnerabilities and how we find ourselves within a group of peers.
Read
First Bite by Bee Wilson is a fascinating insight into the way we learn to eat and how we can change and shape our eating habits.
See
George Shaw has been Associate Artist at the National Gallery for the past two years and his new exhibition My Back to Nature is full of beautiful, witty and thoughtful paintings based on his exploration of the collection.
Just around the corner at the National Portrait Gallery, Vogue 100: A Century of Style is an exhibition showing the history of Vogue covers and photography. Iconic images are everywhere you look.
Listen
Although I fundamentally disagree with them about Everybody Wants Some!! (see above), Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode's Film Review on BBC Radio 5 Live every Friday afternoon is a must-listen.
