Elizabeth Banks stars as an aesthetician &amp; skincare mogul whose life starts to wrinkle after being targeted on &amp; offline. 5 stars or total wet flannel?</p><p><br></p><p>Next up we're examining the charm of middlebrow movies- e.g. the films that don't break the box office or re-invent cinema but are perfectly good nonetheless. Where did they go and can we have them back before the Marvel and Mattel takeover is complete?</p><p><br></p><p>Finally we're scrolling down under as Australia proposes plans to kick all kids off social media. The news has been met with both praise and criticism- could it actually do some good or is it too little too late from governments who haven't thought things through?</p><p><br></p><p>Thank you so much for listening! Please make sure you're following us both here on your podcast app and on Instagram &amp; TikTok @everythingiscontentpod and if you fancy leaving us a rating or review... we heard 5 stars is nice this time of year.</p><p><br></p><p>-----------&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/may/16/bird-review-andrea-arnold-barry-keoghan-cannes-film-festival\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Guardian - Bird </a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhAcAgULwYY&amp;ab_channel=Peacock\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Mad About The Boy Trailer</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/episode/7HCks7fgsPQjWgyuPiT6li\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Louis Theroux x Barry Keoghan</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.amazon.co.uk/Olive-Kitteridge-Stories-Elizabeth-Strout/dp/1398532789/ref=asc_df_1398532789/?tag=googshopuk-21&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=706105719118&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=9206700510870514086&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=1006988&amp;hvtargid=pla-2340508594761&amp;psc=1&amp;mcid=f669f3e1e6ce39c7b899a2e2a7e07a2c&amp;tag=googshopuk-21&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=706105719118&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=9206700510870514086&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=1006988&amp;hvtargid=pla-2340508594761&amp;psc=1&amp;gad_source=1\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://variety.com/2024/film/reviews/skincare-review-1236107909/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Variety - Skincare review</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/episode/1EugYRqMtlTNIc7VsBxyQv?si=r6xPIORpTKC8U0U_89Sw7w\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Everything Is Content - May/December</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.vox.com/culture/382672/conclave-challengers-trap-it-ends-with-us-movies\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Vox - \"Middlebrow\" doesn't mean bad</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaXma6K9mzo&amp;ab_channel=FirstWeFeast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube - Matt Damon x Hot Ones </a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/13/australia-plans-to-ban-social-media-for-under-16s-experts-call-it-a-momentous-step.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">CNBC - Australia plans to ban under 16s from social media </a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/nov/11/a-new-era-dawns-americas-tech-bros-now-strut-their-stuff-in-the-corridors-of-power\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Guardian - America's tech bros now strut their stuff in the corridors of power</a></p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Beth, Ruchira & Oenone"}
