After a year off, this Tasmanian winter arts festival is returning with a boundary-pushing feast of art, performances, music and more.
Art imitates life — and parodies it — in Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's ace new Apple TV+ series, which perfects the balance between skewering and loving the film industry.
Bring on the choreography and merriment, and break out the waffle parties — after a phenomenal second season, this mindbending hit will return.
This is the news that everyone has been waiting for since 2023, and that the world needs right now — and yes, Jason Sudeikis is back, too.
Keeping secrets, slinging barbs, and working through personal and professional crises are all a part of Steven Soderbergh's supremely entertaining espionage film.
'Banquet', 'Helicopter', 'This Modern Love', 'Like Eating Glass': they'll all be on the setlist on this seven-city tour.
