He’s like, ‘I’m Kevin McKay.’ I said, ‘You’d better be good!’”The pair were setting off on a terrifying, five-hour journey with nearly two dozen elementary school students as the Camp fire engulfed Paradise, California, in 2018. It was the start of a beautiful friendship. “That day I met a stranger and put my complete trust in that stranger and today we’re very close, lifelong friends,” Ludwig adds. Continue reading...

5 d. ago The joy of Traitors is in rooting for real people. Does anyone care about celebrities in that way? | Zoe Williams

Having famous contestants is a betrayal of all that’s great about the show – and a misunderstanding of what makes humans tickIf you have never seen Traitors, you will be sick to death of people telling you to watch Traitors: everybody loves it, no one can ever explain why. They describe the premise and it’s a load of people lying to one another. Contestants perform challenges – such as the challenge of running faster than most of them would like – and then they lie. They are often presented with the dilemma of whether to lie or not, but there is very little suspense, because they always choose lying. That is, of course, if they have anything to lie about; the ones who don’t just operate in a perpetual fog of misdirected trust and reptile-brained paranoia. It sounds like the kind of thing you wouldn’t have to watch twice, but that is so far from true you could easily find yourself scouring the world for the connoisseur’s Traitors (Traitors Australia, season two).Theoretically then, C...

5 d. ago The Threesome review – sexy romcom deals with unexpected complications of a throupling

Plausible twists, engaging characters and a charismatic cast make three the magic number in this impeccably calibrated comedyWhen a drunken threesome leads to a pregnancy or two – really, who’s counting? – navigating the emotional and practical fallout proves understandably challenging for Connor (Jonah Hauer-King), Olivia (Zoey Deutch) and Jenny (Ruby Cruz) in this supremely agreeable romcom. While the premise may sound on paper like the setup for a loud, crude 00s comedy, this is a much more finely tuned piece of work than that, with engaging characters and an impeccably calibrated plot full of plausible twists and turns that are wild yet still realistic, and feel earned because the characters respond like actual humans to their situation.It’s true that the spiky rat-a-tat dialogue, reminiscent of both 90s sitcoms and 30s and 40s screwball comedy, isn’t quite how people talk in the real world, but it’s highly enjoyable when delivered by a good-looking and charismatic cast, among w...
