The obvious joke is that I'd rather read Charlie's Brett Coyote legal thriller than watch any more Platonic.

And here I was, complaining about how long it took Bon Appetit, Your Majesty to finally get around to the cooking competition.

I’ll be the first to admit that I thought a cooking competition was a good idea for Bon Appetit, Your Majesty. It might still be. We wouldn’t know, since it still hasn’t happened yet.

Sometimes, even when a show isn't at its best, it can still be pretty good. Platonic has always been like that, which is why it's sometimes difficult to talk about.

As expected, Episode 6 of Bon Appetit, Your Majesty revolves around Ji-young rising up to defend Joseon’s reputation in front of the Ming Dynasty.

Bon Appetit, Your Majesty has been pretty knockabout so far, but the margins have always contained a much more serious show.

I can’t think of anything worse than spending ages locked in a car with Will from Platonic, which is a bit of an obstacle since...

How long is too long? I ask because Bon Appetit, Your Majesty runs for nearly 90 minutes every episode, and it feels like the story is moving slowly to accommodate that in Episodes 3 & 4.

Here's a bold prediction about Platonic Season 2 -- I reckon Will is going to lose his job, and Sylvia's event planning business isn't going to take off.

Bon Appetit, Your Majesty is, and I don’t say this lightly, possibly the most quintessentially “K-Drama” K-Drama that ever did K-Drama.

The experience of watching Fall for Me is a lot like watching paint dry, with the semi-important caveat of someone getting their nipples out every...

I think Season 2 is making me hate Platonic a little bit. It's a weird thing to say because it remains a well-made show with a handful of very funny lines, and Rose Byrne is especially great in Episode 4, "Fore!", but I'm so, so sick of Will.

Dogs have always been a movie-making cheat code, the easiest shortcut to making an audience laugh or cry – or both! – as necessary. The...

I get that Platonic is largely a show about college friends slowly realizing they’re not in college anymore, but by Season 2, you’d think it would have...

Gonzalo Tobal’s Follow (2025), also known by its native language film title, Juegos de Seducción, presents a premise that initially intrigues with its potential. However,...

The Madea franchise remains one of the most confounding mysteries in all of cinema. Madea’s Destination Wedding is the thirteenth – count ‘em! – entry,...

E. Lockhart’s We Were Liars is famous in large part for a significant last-minute twist which completely recontextualises the entire story, and fans of the...

You know how racists claim not to be able to tell people of colour apart because they all look the same? That’s kind of how...

The risk with making a laid-back chill-out movie is that there’s such a thing as a movie being too chilled out for its own good,...
