🦘 Charlize Theron's Apex Will Make You Long To Travel To Australia

Sometimes you want a new experience to shake things up, and other times you prefer the comfort of the familiar. We have a little bit of each in today’s newsletter as our exclusive interview with the director of Apex shares how his new Netflix movie starring Charlize Theron will have you wishing you could visit the natural wonders of Australia yourself. Meanwhile, a return for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds to a very recognizable storytelling format will please fans who found the previous season too avant garde.

And as divisive as The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has been for fans of J.R.R. Tolkein, a time jump for the coming third season will bring a new Middle Earth historical era into focus while allowing those who dislike change the comfort of familiar characters who don’t age all that quickly. It’s the best of all worlds, whether those worlds are in space, in a fantasy land, or down under.
