BOOK OF THE WEEK
- 13 Jan - 19 Jan, 2024
This week’s Netflix true crime series is a slightly less harrowing affair than we’ve come to expect, telling the story of Wanna Marchi, an Italian TV personality/telesales scam artist turned convicted criminal. It’s a rags-to-riches story with multiple rises and falls, each more entertainingly nefarious than the last.
See the rise and fall (or should we say, push) of the popstar’s career before finally seeing her rise from the ashes in the last year. For Britney Stans, and any fans of pop culture, this is a must-see.
Bo Burnham’s expertly edited suite of silly songs and sketches about the pandemic, depression, and the vapid and aimless state of today’s almost certainly doomed culture is the comedy hit of the season, capturing the late pandemic zeitgeist in a way that clearly resonates with a large audience.
Hold the Girl is the second studio album by Japanese-British singer Rina Sawayama. It was released on 16 September 2022 by Dirty Hit.
