Minecraft: A Huge Mess But A Huge Hit

Is 'A Minecraft Movie' going to be the biggest hit of 2025? Do young people know or care about The Beatles? What was the inspiration behind Charlie Brooker's seminal 'Black Mirror'? Like many parents across the world, Marina watched the Jack Black and Jason Momoa fronted Minecraft movie on the weekend. How has a video game based off chopping wood become the biggest cultural phenomenon of the 21st century? Black Mirror returns to our screens this week, but what is the secret behind Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones' continued success with the Netflix hit? Finally, we look at the news American Beauty and Bond director Sam Mendes will release four Beatles biopics in the same month - starring heartthrobs Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson, Barry Keoghan and Joseph Quinn. But do Gen-Z even know who they are?
