“Knives Out” marks the fourth collaboration between composer Nathan Johnson and director Rian Johnson, having previously teamed up on “Brick,” “Looper,” and “The Brothers Bloom.” But their roots go far deeper than that: they’re cousins. Nathan Johnson says he first heard about “Knives Out” over a decade ago. “He basically told me about the opening…

Tim Minchin : Upright

MV5BNWRiYmE4ZTAtNGEzNi00ZGM3LWE0MGItMmYzYjNkY2VjNDA5XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNTQ4NDcyNzU@._V1_SY1000_CR0,0,1499,1000_AL_

One of my favourite series showing at the moment is Tim Minchin’s Upright.

I’ve just watched an interview recorded this week on Build and felt it needed to be shared.   Perhaps it will invite you to watch his new series or at the very least watch his ‘Life Lessons’ speech at the University of Western Australia.
