Succulent Chinese Movie
In 1991 an incredulous, middle aged, Caucasian man with a bushy moustache was arrested – he alleged – for simply eating a Chinese meal in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley. A “succulent” Chinese meal to be exact. In what would prove to be a case of mistaken identity, the enigmatic man put on a performance of Shakespearian proportions for the arresting police and swarm of awaiting news cameras on the scene. Fascinating, hilarious and truly bizarre, that video would go on to be immortalized as a YouTube viral sensation decades later; clocking up millions of views across the globe, making the man named Jack Karlson (or is that Paul Charles Dozsa? Cecil Edwards?) a modern folklore legend. This is the madcap and tragic true-ish life story about Jack: con man, master of disguise, safe cracker, prison escapee, father, husband, widower, actor – and the real truth behind that infamous video.

Honey Don’t!: A Messy Queer but Mischievous Comedy
Honey Don't! is a chaotic queer noir that's part detective story, part midnight movie madness. Margaret Qualley is fantastic as the wise-cracking private eye Honey, with Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans adding their own dry humor to the mix. The mystery itself is pretty loose, but the film makes up for it with crackling sexual tension, weird side characters, and razor-sharp dialogue. It's messy and uneven, but in the best possible way.
