Looking for something to keep you entertained this Easter? Callum Henderson shares his top picks of what to watch and listen to for the week ahead.
Pick of the Week: Operation Varsity Blues (Netflix) Everything has a price – including admission to top US colleges. The back door to an Ivy League school comes via a donation with a price tag in the tens of millions, independent college counsellor Rick Singer told wealthy parents.

When you tell people, especially people who live in other countries, that you re from Arizona, they almost always revert to the Wild West depiction of the state. Instead of getting bogged down by that assumption of what life here is actually like, study up. There are plenty of great Arizona gunfighter and outlaw flicks, and
Tombstone is a great summary of infamous historical events like the gun fight at the O.K. Corral and the stories of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. After watching, you can wow foreign friends with your cowboy know-how and even tell them how you ve visited Tombstone in real life. Plus, Sam Elliott is the best.

Itâs been a long time since you could go to the video store and rent a bunch of new releases in the physical sense, but if youâve got an enduring chili recipe and a heart that occasionally seeks comfort in the ephemera of the past because the present is just too disheartening, you can find and approximate that Video Store Feeling in your own timespace.
