As promised in the latest episode of What Else Are We Mad At, here are my favourite films of the year! Obviously I wasn’t able to see every single release, cause I’m got a stupid full time job to deal with, and there are several films that aren’t out in the UK yet (looking at you The Fablemans). If you don’t like this list, feel free to send hate our way, it’s good for the SEO.

Over a year ago, comedian and wife guy Alec Robbins released his smash hit comic Mr Boop, where he tells the factual tale of his life being married to Betty Boop – yes, that Betty Boop.

There is an increased pressure for men to have washboard abs, have basically no body fat and have a perfect V-shaped body; when the majority of media features men who look like action dolls, it makes sense that men are conditioned to believe that this is how they should look.
