International Women's Day is quickly approaching on Friday 8 March, with the 2024 theme of #InspireInclusion more relevant than ever before. The theme of forging gender equality resonates powerfully, as we work towards a world where bias and discrimination are relics of the past, and diversity is celebrated.

Taking inspo from Paramount+’s new rom-com series, The Flatshare, we’ve pulled together six ways you can slowdown and reconnect with your roomies amongst everyone’s busy schedules.

Well, fortunately for you, and us, Friends! The Musical Parody is finally coming to Perth.

It’s time to splurge on popcorn buckets as big as your head, frozen cokes and choc-tops because 20th Century Studios' newest historical drama, The Last Duel is the big-screen experience of your dreams

This month, we're adding bedroom pop to our playlists, a genre spawned from artists getting creative in iso. We investigate a new wave of augmented reality e-commerce that's adding a little creativity to practicality, and we take a deep dive on the mega-force of gaming—no longer just a channel for entertainment and escapism, but the final curtain of pop culture. 

The multi award-winning musical, created by Lin-Manuel Miranda, was initially due to head to our shores in March 2021. But with a little thing called COVID getting in the way, that's on the back burner for now. Fortunately, there's still a chance to see the ground-breaking hip hop musical, and you don’t even need to max out your credit card for it. Hype up, because Hamilton the movie is coming direct to your lounge.

Cinemas have been given the green light to open and most of them are announcing their re-open dates.

Twenty-seven years later and Pennywise is back.

That’s right, you’ve read correctly: Netflix series ‘Mindhunter’ is slated to return for a second season this August and we are beyond excited.

It lands on screens next month.

Cue the excitement.

It includes an exclusive interview with Billy McFarland.

Blessed be the fight.

There is an epic line-up of must-see movies coming to the big screens this May and nothing screams movie night like the colder weather we are welcoming along with the new month. There is a range of genres showing in the new releases, from rom-coms to war-films and everything in between.

And it's a wake-up call.

Time to play God—with Bear Grylls. 

 Your weekend sorted.

It's as fast-paced and vibrant as you imagined it to be.

Today marks International Women’s Day and this year, there are two areas of focus— balance for better and more powerful together. And to celebrate this day—where we campaign for a gender-balanced world—we’ve put together a list of films that highlight women’s stories.

The tea has been spilt. 

What’s good Westeros?

No doubt you’ve devoured every juicy bit of the manipulative and deceitful relationship between John Meehan and Debra Newell.

Consider our interest peaked.

 Come again?

Book yourself in for a date night, or an after-work stress reliever and catch one of the great flicks coming out this month.

Firstly, she's 25-years-old.

Despite much controversy, the 91st Academy Awards went ahead sans presenter.

The new series will be based on the 1898 horror book The Turn Of The Screw.

It's made over half a billion dollars at the box office in its first-week release.

It’s called “Leaving Neverland”.

Brainwashing, blackmail, alien abduction and death threats.

February is about to get hot, hot, hot, so we’re suggesting cooling off with an ice-cold cola, chocolate dipped ice-cream, and relaxing in a breezy air-conned cinema.

Victoria Pedretti from The Haunting of Hill House is locked for the female lead.

With filming, award shows and the HSC done, we catch up with Angourie Rice and find out what she'll be reading and watching in her downtime. 

And it will only take you 17 hours and 46 minutes to get through them all.

Get the real story behind the music festival that never happened with a Nextflix doco due to drop next week.

Goodbye sweet, sweet weekend.

You’ve never seen him move this fast.

“Something was really rotten at the core of this case.”

Confirmed: it’s not a musical, rather a "love letter to journalists".

Got an entertainment buff you need to please? From retro arcade games to stylish sound systems, we’ve got something that will have them cancelling all their plans for 2019.

Netflix is dropping some elite documentaries this month.

Goodbye Moana, Spotlight and the Black Pearl.

We’re talking Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The BFG and more.

 One detective. Two missing children. And a whole town demanding answers.

It’s been described as everything from just plain twisted all-the-way to a complete psychedelic meltdown.

Another month, another line-up of killer movies. Grab that popcorn, head to the theatre and take your pick from the best movies out this November. 

On any given night in Australia, 1 in 200 people are sleeping on the streets. Best estimates at the moment put the total number at just over 100,000.

We're not crying, you are.

Grab the popcorn and settle in, an Aussie supernatural crime drama is on the horizon.

Let’s just say we’ll never look at whipped cream in the same way.

And your eyeballs will get to lap it up pretty damn soon.

Christmas has come early this year guys. And if you ask me it’s the best kind of present – one that won’t leave you grimacing and forcing a “I love it”, when in reality it’s possibly the fuggliest thing you’ve ever seen.

Firstly, it’ll absolutely fill that Friday Night Lights-shaped hole in your binge hit list.

He’s stitched together two of his films in a mega-plot and brought onboard Sarah Paulson.

Expect drama, mystery, horror, comedy and all the docu-series.

Whether you’re team Bughead or team Varchie, you’re going to want to read this.

Post-conviction legal processes don’t usually make for riveting television, but we’ll make an exception for Making A Murderer Part 2.

​We’re well and truly in a post-Spacey world now, guys. House Of Cards just dropped a new trailer for its sixth (and final season), and if you had any doubts Robin Wright could handle the heat, lay them to rest.

You need to get yourself on this new BBC series Bodyguard, because the hit thriller is coming to Netflix Australia on 24 October. 

And yeah, it's as creepy as the podcast.

Hollywood has provided the goods yet again, with a line-up of must-see movies about to drop this October.

Time to prioritise your October viewing, people. Let this article come as one giant warning: a bunch of shows are about to disappear from your Netflix feed. Forever. 

​Want to skip the queues and snag a private dining room at Sydney’s Chin Chin? How about a year’s free yoga in Brisbane? Maybe a private session at Bass & Flinders mixing you own signature gin? Well, they’re all up for grabs.

It’s the mac daddy of true crime, and it’s coming back to Netflix. The long-awaited Making A Murderer Part 2 is launching globally (yep, even here) on 19 October. That’s only a few weeks away, guys.

Get ready for the ultimate blast from the past because the PlayStation One is officially making a comeback.

Well, the Emmys are done and dusted for another year. And while we love to judge red-carpet outfits from our couches while wearing soup-stained pyjamas, the award ceremony is where the real action is. Think of the winner’s list as your lazy guide to figuring out which shows are worth your time. It’s also worth noting many of the winners are female-lead series this year (fist pump).

Thank you, sweet Netflix gods. We’ve been waiting for this thing since March. Even though the US received its second dose of The Sinner (AKA the greatest show of 2017) in August, little ol’ Australia and New Zealand will have to wait till 9 November for season 2. But things could be worse. I mean, we're still pretty excited.

All your Sunday inspo wrapped into one handly lil' package.

The Perth CBD Gods have answered all of our big city prayers with the new Raine Square redevelopment. A late night retail, dining and entertainment precinct smack bang in the middle of the city and open seven days a week— thank you!

All your Sunday inspo wrapped into one handly lil' package.

We know, we know, there’s some great new action flicks on Netflix this month. But leave The Mummy and Kickass on hold for two secs—there’s a bunch of epic docos that are probably more important. This month we’ve got terrifying AI game machines, a group of inspiring women in the Congo, and a hot-of-the-presses glimpse into Trump’s midterm campaign.

It's been over five years since we've had a cinema in the Perth CBD so we were pretty excited when Palace Cinemas announced they'd be opening at Raine Square on 18 September. But now they've gone and one-upped themselves by announcing one heck of a promotion for the opening week.

Remember on your fifth birthday when you jumped on your parents’ bed to show them how much you’d grown overnight because, you were in fact, a big kid now? C’mon guys, there’s no way that was just me. But fast forward to 2018 and I’d have some pretty choice words to say to that kiddo.

Crazy Rich Asians took the world by storm when it was released in 2013. And, this month the film hit theatres and you’d pretty much have to have been living under a bus not to have noticed the hype.

Considering all of the tea that was spilt in the press surrounding allegations against Kevin Spacey late last year, was there any wonder Netflix gave serious thought to axing the Emmy-winning show, House of Cards?

​Try to control your hype levels. Drink a green tea and pop on Bach’s Cello Suite No.1 or something because the new True Detective trailer just dropped and we don’t want another harsh come down like season two.

There’s something for everyone at the cinemas this month and here’s a list of the must-see movies in September.

There is nothing as tragic or disheartening than coming to the end of an episode and realizing it was the season finale. Our exasperated voices rise up in a chorus of ‘Now what?!’ as we neatly rebuff Netflix’s flimsy suggestions on what to watch next completely miss the mark and prove once again that the algorithm doesn’t know us even half as well as we thought it would.

Rockstar (the crew behind Grand Theft Auto) has just dropped a glorious, 4K, 6-minute gameplay trailer for the hotly anticipated Red Dead Redemption 2. 

Winter is well and truly here, guys. Now is not the time to be frolicking outside, being adventurous. Now is the time to *embrace* all the lazy you hold inside you, cocoon yourself in nineteen blankets and glue yourself to the nearest screen.

Nothing gets us hyped more than a good documentary - it's basically all the fun of a classic Netflix binge, but you get to feel like a #intellectual at the end of it. 

Say it with me: Endless. Melted. Cheese.

We’ve got your monthly round-up of the month’s best silver-screen offerings, and damn do they look bloody good!
