Stars: Tim Key, Tom Basden, Carey Mulligan | Written by Tim Key, Tom Basden | Directed by James Griffiths For many, getting a favourite musician to play a private gig is a dream scenario.

I recently re-watched and reviewed Hawk the Slayer, which was a fun, albeit utterly flawed piece of silly fantasy flim-flam. It had the sole intention of making money, which seems as likely as someone who goes out and spends all their money on lottery tickets. None of the building blocks were in place to make […]
