Television: Colin From Accounts
Season 2 of this quirky warm Australian comedy has now landed.
Brought together by a car accident and an injured dog, two complex humans must learn to be brave enough to find real connection. In Season 2, Ash and Gordon have moved in together and are trying to get their beloved, special needs dog, Colin, back from his new owners.
Out now on Foxtel.
Film: Memory
Sylvia (Jessica Chastain) is a social worker who leads a simple and structured life: her daughter, her job, her AA meetings. This is blown open when Saul (Peter Sarsgaard) follows her home from their high school reunion. Their surprise encounter will profoundly impact both of them as they open the door to the past.
A look at the nature of memory and its impact on our lives. In selected cinemas now.
Television: English Teacher
Evan Marquez is a high school English teacher in Austin, Texas who wants to be a principled person but often runs into trouble because of it.
A new comedy about navigating the intersection of the personal, professional and political aspects of working at a high school. Out now on Disney+.
Music: East My Love, from Current Joys
This is the twelve album from Current Joys, the brainchild of Nick Rattigan, made four years ago during the pandemic, but just released now.
It has a very folk and country tinge, with songs about life in the American West. A beautiful record – find out more at the Current Joys website.
