Podcast

Though grim, true crime podcasts are one of the cultural phenomena of our times. And we do them well in New Zealand. Check out A Moment in Crime. The latest episode examines the murders of Christine Lundy and her daughter Amber in 2000.

Movie

Mulan is back, in live action form, and filmed in New Zealand. But, in a sign of these Covid times, the new movie's not at the cinema, it's on Disney+ with Premier Access costing $39.99. Grab some friends and split the cost!
