63 h. ago Trump has put Christian nationalists in key roles – say a prayer for free speech

Experts warn that a specific brand of Christianity will be prioritized and lead to a ‘further dismantling’ of institutionsThe Trump administration’s promotion of white Christian nationalists and prosperity gospel preachers to key government roles will lead to the “further dismantling of government institutions” and the chilling of free speech, experts have warned.Donald Trump announced the creation of an “anti-Christian bias” taskforce and a White House Faith Office (WHFO) in February, saying it would make recommendations to him “regarding changes to policies, programs, and practices” and consult with outside experts in “combatting anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, and additional forms of anti-religious bias”.

3 d. ago ‘We were all in it together’: Jacob Elordi on his wartime epic The Narrow Road to the Deep North

The Saltburn and Priscilla star talks about his first Australian lead role and the physical costs of playing a PoW on the Burma-Thailand railway Get our weekend culture and lifestyle emailTo everyone except fans of the teen drama Euphoria, Jacob Elordi’s star seemed to explode from nowhere two years ago. In 2023, Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla and Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn revealed to global audiences the breadth of the young Queenslander’s range – a tormented and controlling Elvis in one vehicle, a charmingly selfish young British aristocrat in the other. They also certified him as a bona fide celebrity and sex symbol – the kind that can inspire lookalike contests.Australians might be forgiven for not knowing the 27-year-old actor is one of us: aside from a handful of small roles (including his feature film debut, aged 17 in Stephan Elliott’s Swinging Safari – “I think I said two words, probably ‘shag me’,” he says) – he’s mostly played Americans and Brits.Sign up for the fun stuff wit...

7 d. ago Your Friends & Neighbours review – Jon Hamm’s fun new drama is like The White Lotus back from holiday

Taking his first lead in a prestige TV drama since Mad Men, the actor is brilliant. He is on suave, nuanced form in a very funny show – which could use a little more bite You can understand why it might take an actor a while to tackle another dramatic lead role on television when their first was a life-changing, career-defining part in a critically acclaimed landmark TV drama that ran for eight superlative seasons. But it is 10 years since Mad Men ended and only now is Jon Hamm re-entering the fray. He has mostly been busy with comedy roles in the intervening years. Now, he returns to the type of part that made his name: era-specific masculinity under siege from a prestige production bent on feeding us our own horrors back to us in chunks. This time it is about the fall from grace of a New York hedge fund manager, Andrew Cooper – think a modern, misogyny-lite Don Draper, but one who loves his kids and really is who he says he is.The opening scene has Cooper coming to on a marble flo...

2 w. ago Good Night, and Good Luck review – George Clooney’s Broadway debut never quite lands

Winter Garden Theatre, New YorkThe actor-director brings his 2005 drama to the stage, now playing the lead role, but while it’s timely and nicely staged, it feels stiffTime has been kind to Good Night, and Good Luck, George Clooney’s sincere dramatization of the broadcaster Edward R Murrow’s on-air tangles with Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. Sleek, slim and reverent, the 2005 film recalled a time of both cultural panic and promise, before American attention splintered and television’s road forked toward cable news. In its own era, the movie played in implicit contrast to mainstream media’s failure to interrogate the Bush administration’s dubious justifications for the Iraq war. In 2025, well now, as in 1953, the lies run rampant. But in Clooney’s stark black-and-white drama, truth prevails.Wouldn’t that be nice. The ongoing lurch away from due process casts both a haunting pall and a self-congratulatory glow over New York’s Winter Garden Theatre, where Clooney leads a profici...
