Boy Swallows Universe TV Series Review
Highly regarded by many, Trent Dalton’s international bestselling novel Boy Swallows Universe was recently transformed into a mini-TV series on Netflix. For those who have read the beloved book, many will jump at the chance to compare the show with the novel. Dealing with two completely different art mediums prove it difficult to make comparisons beyond the plot of the story. The novel deals with inner dialogue, intricate descriptions, and relies heavily on the readers imagination, whereas the show utilises visual storytelling and rich soundscapes to emerge the viewer into the world of the protagonist, Eli Bell, played by Felix Cameron.

Stormy-Lou
“We just released our newest single Eggshells which is a very stripped-back DIY song that is definitely winter vibes. I think we’ve all been in a bit of a sombre mood for a few months and been listening to that kind of music.”
Satin Sun
“We got started in music learning our instruments privately at a young age, as a band we met through high school and bonded over a love for similar bands, and thought we’d give making our own songs a crack.”
Tonix
“In two short years, Tonix has emerged from the depths of the Adelaide music scene, developing a reputation of live energy, tight shows, regular public appearances, and a backlog of media where they style their trusty Air Jordans and feature grandmas.”
Bermuda Bay
“We all met in music class at school and have been playing together ever since. We all had a shared taste in music and started off playing covers of our favourite songs before we started writing original music together.”

Barbie (2023) Review ★★★★☆
What was most shocking about Greta Gerwig’s 2023 film Barbie was genuinely how funny and entertaining it was to watch. Despite months of the overwhelmingly positive PR campaigns and the release of hit singles such as Dua Lipa’s ‘Dance the Night Away,’ there has been a growing sense of concern and fear towards the eventual release date for the film.
