A period drama with political conniving, heartbreak and even zombies: the recently released second season of this Korean series packs it all into six action-fueled episodes.

 

 

This horror film focuses on a journalist and her cameraman, who get locked up in an apartment complex where they find dogs and people with a highly virulent disease that turns them into bloodthirsty savages. Gruesome and kind of creepy.

 

 

Centered on the ebola outbreak in Nigeria, this film is based on the true story of the health workers who helped contain the mass outbreak. Here we have folks like Anutin overseeing the outbreak. That should make for a good movie someday.

 

 

All goes to hell when the famous Titanic strikes an iceberg, which is the metaphorical equivalent of Bangkok bar-goers partying on while half the room is absolutely teeming with coronavirus. We’re pretty sure you know how this ends, but in case you’re one of the 10 people worldwide who hasn’t watched “Titanic,” we won’t spoil it for you.

Adam Sandler shows a different side as a jeweler who spirals down the wrong path, making bad bets that have collectors hunting him down. This film is a bit twisted—it might even leave you feeling uneasy and slightly stressed, kind of like how you might feel if you stepped foot in Don Muang pretty much anytime—but it’s well worth it.

Because two installments of the trashy romp through a BDSM-fueled sexscape just weren’t enough. Are you not entertained?

 

 

The hit series is back with a more humble David Chang, who brings along some friends and takes us through staples like steak and fried chicken around the world. This is a feel-good show for all.

 

 

“The Chef Show”

Roy Choi from LA’s Kogi and Jon Favreau (who filmed the movie “Chef”) reunite in this travel-docuseries, showcasing foods from across the world and bringing their famous friends to cook and dine together.
