Bang On #285: Back to Black, Sam Mostyn, Gen Z are Charlottes
Myf and Zan are back with the week in music, art, life, and stuff and we've got it all this week! The new Amy Winehouse biopic comes out today, and Zan has had a sneak preview. So, what's the verdict?
It's a big week for art, as we catch up on the MONA Museum court ruling for their Ladies Lounge. Over in Munich, another artist is trying his hand at disruption, and we love this fella's energy in hanging his own piece next to the greats.
Sex and the City has landed on Netflix and so have the hot takes on whether Gen Z can handle it. We've sifted through them all to find our favourite. And speaking of FARSHUN, Zendaya is owning the red carpet (on grass, clay, and hardcourt) for her new film Challengers.
And we're banging on about some good reads from The School of Life, and Annabel Crabb's brilliant editorial on the appointment of Sam Mosytn as Governor General.
