Steve joins Sof and Elle in the studio to share his top picks of the week! 

Steve came in to talk about his recent NZIFF picks and what you can catch later in the festival.

Steve takes us through some of the films from the NZIFF schedule he's seen thus far, as well as what he's recommending and what he's looking forward to before the festival kicks off this Friday. 

Steve darkens our sunny winter day with a couple of heavy documentaries and dark comedies. Petra Costa's The Edge of Democracy and Apocalypse in the Tropics are both available on Netflix, which depict the current state of politics in Brazil. 

Steve Newell joins Sof and Elle in the studio to give his take on what to watch, or not! This week, they chat about Superman (2025) and Friendship (2024) - both are out in cinemas now.

Steve's top picks of the week!

Steve joins Hugh Sundae in the studio to review the new Sly and The Family Stone doco Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius), a new addition to the Predator franchise Predator: Killer of Killers, and the new Pedro Pascal flick Materialists by Celine Song which is mostly rom and not so much com. 

Steve recommends a couple good series to hunker down with as Winter kicks-in. First up is the series Mind Menders with Sonia Grey which investigates psychedelic therapy for mental health treatments and tracks the recent LSD trial at the University of Auckland. Then, Steve talks Murderbot and why you should watch it on cold and rainy nights.
