Marugame Udon x Crosstown.

Elsbeth (prod. Jonathan Tolins)

Character actress Carrie Preston steps into the leading role by reprising her quirky, eponymous The Good Wife character in her own Columbo-esque, inverted detective series to much delight. Structured as a howcatchem (or "reverse whodunit") mystery with the audience seeing the murder first, then the NYPD investigating the case of the week, the Kings' throwback to the network procedural crime drama offers an amusing watch from week to week.

In the Know (prod. Zach Woods & Brandon Gardner).

Peacock's pointed stop-motion animated sendup of NPR's dry public radio aesthetic maintains an ultra-droll fidelity to the material it's both lovingly yet brutally mocking. Woods perfectly commits to aping the stereotype of a cluelessly well-intentioned radio host who thinks he the pulse of listeners while being comically and woefully out of touch with the realities of media.

The Beast (La Bête, dir. Bertrand Bonello).

[Léa] Seydoux's steely coldness livens her intriguing character's sense of romantic intrigue. Told across centuries through impeccable production and costume design, how The Beast reincarnates its twisty but sweeping relationship odyssey through genre exercises feels often mesmerizing in its rejection of an A.I.-dominated future.

Screening at The Cinematheque until May 1.

Fallout (prod. Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet).

Each episode of Fallout exists as its own mission or sidequest within a larger serialized narrative that seeds little mysteries along the way to be resolved. How it envisions the series through high production value, radioactive bleak humour, and cinematic storytelling to flesh out its story mechanics builds on the game that came before it wisely, not unlike The Last of Us.

Marugame Udon x Crosstown.

For the uninitiated, the global dining brand (est. 2000) is known for making authentic, handmade, and traditional Sanuki-style udon noodles (think thick and chewy), perfected centuries ago in the Kagawa Prefecture in Southern Japan, in addition to offering rice bowls, a selection of tempura dishes, and their house made sweet and savoury soup stock.

Nikutama udon with sweet-flavoured beef, poached Onsen egg, and BK sauce.

Civil War (dir. Alex Garland) x SXSW 2024.

Garland's dystopian road trip action drama Civil War foretells the United States' upsetting possible near-future where a fascist dictator president is at war against united "Western Front" state rebellion forces from California and Texas. It's a horrific love letter to photojournalism, spotlighting the costly dehumanization of war by emphasizing the gut-churning power of images.
