Simon, Justine, and Natasha debrief on their fave reads/watches of 2022 thus far.
---
The CPX team - no surprises here - love a good book or film, and also love a good gossip about them afterwards.
Join Simon Smart, Justine Toh, and Natasha Moore as they gush about what they’ve seen and heard of late.
Natasha repents of her snobbery about audiobooks, having been converted to the form by Trevor Noah’s remarkable memoir Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood.
Justine makes the case for her claim (less than halfway through the year) that the fantasy/sci-fi film Everything Everywhere All At Once is the best film of 2022.
And Simon is super impressed by Jonathan Franzen’s latest novel Crossroads - especially by his depiction of people of faith, in the context of a pastor’s family in 1970s Illinois.
Race, faith, family, the multiverse, and struggling through hard times: some themes emerge as the team consider their recent cultural consumption, and try to persuade you to watch or listen as well.
