Best performance of 2015?
JK Simmons in Whiplash. "Not my tempo". Chilling.
Most addictive TV show:
House of Cards. The subway scene!
How have you consumed most of your TV viewing this year?
Netflix.
How many hours of Netflix did you watch this year?
I didn't time it. I was busy watching it.
The showbiz story that stopped you in your tracks ...
Bill Cosby. Yuck.
The song you can't stop singing?
(Not Just) Knee Deep by Parliament/Funkadelic. I'm not sure what the lyrics are, but it's funky as hell. It's also quite old, but I think that technically makes it funkier.
The most interesting/entertaining person you've followed on social media this year:
Sanjay Patel. Track him down on Twitter.
What television show/movie franchise/music act did you give up - or nearly give up - on this year?
True Detective 2. I really wanted to like it. However, I gave it a second whirl and I got sucked into it. You just have to accept that Vince Vaughan has a funny way of drinking from cups.
What's the live music event of the summer you are most looking forward to?
Whatever the Caroline Bay Carnival in Timaru offers.
