Prison Vibes

Gavin Lin’s Sunshine Women’s Choir is treacly hokum and completely ridiculous. It’s Taiwan’s biggest local hit ever.

Almost There…

Ultimate Revenge is painfully familiar. But it’s also just crunchy enough to be entertaining.

Time for Bed

We’re diving headlong into fandom territory here. No one else is going to give a shit about Scream 7 as it stands.

Girls Being Girls

Tracy Choi’s Girlfriends makes for a nice middle entry in what, fingers crossed, might be a smart, sapphic trilogy.

Warning: Too Many Zooms

Take-5: Heroes Beer Co.

Hong Kong’s craft brew scene is in a bit of a rut, with cocktails, wine and de- or low-alcohol tipples gaining traction, but it’s certainly not dead. With summer likely starting in April, we tried five of Heroes’ bestsellers – not so you don’t have but so you know where to start.
