H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds
In this modern retelling of H.G. Wells' classic sci-fi horror, civilization is laid to ruin when a super race of aliens invades Earth. In a blink of an eye, massive "walkers" cover the planet, annihilating all in their path. As cities crumble and human flesh is ripped from the bone, one man struggles to find the one weapon that will turn the tide for mankind.
Zero Fucks Given
Cassandre, 26, is a flight attendant for a low-cost airline. Based in Lanzarote, she’s always willing to take on extra hours and carries out her duties with robotic efficiency. On the side, she just goes with the flow and floats between Tinder, parties and lazy days. When she suddenly gets dismissed, she is forced to return home.
The Dream with Roy and H.G.
A watershed program in Australian television, The Dream aired every night for the 15 nights of the Sydney Olympic Games. Roy and HG engaged in loosely scripted banter, hilarious athlete interviews, and most famously a reinterpretation of Gymnastics, Greco-Roman Wrestling, Weight-lifting and Diving with their own distinctive commentary style.
