Beforehand, a very busy news section taking in all the reaction to Kendrick Lamar stealing the weekend headlines, the continued slow death of cinema etiquette, and plenty more besides. You can check out Carl's weekly 'Surrealing in the Years' column on The Journal here, and follow him on Bluesky, X, and Instagram if you so desire.
