Consuming Culture

Each year at the Melbourne International Film Festival, a panel of guests gather to dissect the highs and lows of the zeitgeist. Host Michael Sun, essayist and regular writer for the Guardian, will be joined by actor and writer Maria Angelico, Chicago–based New York Magazine Vulture culture critic Anjelica Jade Bastién and visiting Los Angeles Times film critic Amy Nicholson to discuss the most overrated, underrated and personal favourite moments in movies, TV, podcasts and books of the past 12 months.

If all goes to plan, there’ll be hot takes, heated discussions and great recommendations to enjoy post-festival.

Presented in partnership with Melbourne International Film Festival as part of MIFF Talks.
