Thanks to Transmission Films, 2XX has 10 double passes to give away to THE CRITIC, a film starring Ian McKellen and Gemma Arterton, opening nationally in cinemas on 3rd October.
Email [email protected] with The Critic, your name and phone number in the subject line and the first 10 subscribers to write in will win a pass.
The reimagining of Anthony Quinn's novel 'Curtain Call' centres on Jimmy Erskine (McKellen), the Daily Chronicle's most famous and featured theatre critic of the age; David Brooke (Strong), with whom he clashes after recently inheriting the paper; and a young actress, Nina Land (Arterton), who is devastated by Jimmy's recent negative review of her. As the three become entangled in a whodunnit wrapped in a Faustian pact, their strange triangle winds tighter and tighter to devastating effect for all those caught in the deadly web of blackmail and betrayal.
Blues Roots & Boots explores the three genres that have come to underpin most of what we listen to today. With a focus on revealing the depth of talent that exists in Australia within these music forms, Blues Roots & Boots is unashamedly weighted in its content to Australian artists while allowing room for the best of what is available from the international scene.

LUNCHBOX WITH MICHAEL G RETURNS WEDNESDAY 18 SEPTEMBER 2024 – COMMUNITY ISSUE – ROYAL COMMISSION INTO DEFENCE AND VETERAN SUICIDE
My special guest this coming Lunchbox is Angela Harper, Service Ambassador from Soldier On.
My focus this week will be on the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide. Commissioners Nick Kaldas (Chair), Peggy Brown and James Douglas delivered the Final Report to the Governor-General on Monday 9 September. It includes 122 recommendations for reform.
Angela joined the Army in 1989 and served as an aviation paramedic at the Army Aviation Centre in Oakey, South-East Queensland and at 5 Aviation Regiment in Townsville, North Queensland for most of her decade serving.
Our focus will be about the royal commission, the impact of the process and findings for ADF personal and families and the role of Soldier On.
