Why Is It Worth Watching?
Creed III is a sports drama film that’s the ninth overall in the Rocky film series. The movie also sees Michael B. Jordan (Adonis Creed) make his directorial debut as well as playing the lead role. When much younger, Adonis was best friends with Damian Anderson (Majors), a Golden Gloves champion with aspirations to turn professional and become a world champion. But Anderson’s life took an unexpected turn landing him in prison. Meanwhile, in the current day, Adonis has hung up his gloves to focus on his wife Bianca (Thompson) and their daughter Amara (Davis-Kent). He runs his boxing academy and is promoting his protégé. Damian reconnects with ‘Donnie’ after getting out of jail and shares his desire to resume his boxing career. Resentful after his time in prison, Damian feels robbed of his career and envious of Adonis’ life – his intentions aren’t good. As chaos ensues, these once friends now find themselves as bitter rivals who may have to settle their differences inside the ring.

Cunk On Earth

Need to Know
Cunk on Earth is a British mockumentary television series that’s been produced by Charlie Brooker of multiple award-winning Black Mirror fame. Cunk is a fake journalist who’s parodying a serious BBC interviewer while visiting real historical sites and museums, and meeting with leading academics in philosophy, science and related fields. Though silly initially, the series plays out as a riot of well-timed hilarity while also being exceedingly interesting and informative along the way.

Director: Christian Watt
Cast: Diane Morgan, Jim Al-Khalili, Shirley J. Thompson, Douglas Hedley, Brian Klaas, Ashley Jackson

Why Is It Worth Watching?
This collaboration between Netflix and the BBC sees the wonderfully witty Diane Morgan take on the role of Philomena Cunk, a character that gained fame on British comedy review programme Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe. Cunk isn’t very well-informed, but that doesn’t hold her back from saying what she thinks, and what she thinks is often immensely funny. During the five-part series, Cunk covers serious topics along with serious experts, discussing events such as the emergence of humankind, the birth and development of religions, the renaissance, scientific advancements and the raging of world wars, as well as the state of current technology and culture. All the above are approached and engaged by Cunk with her unmistakably dry and splendidly sardonic sense of humour.
Surprisingly enough, through all the laughs, Cunk on Earth manages to get its facts right, which only adds to the charm of this terrific show.
