'Stranger Things' to 'Silverton Siege': T Magazine's picks of the week

Movie: Silverton Siege

A film that follows three freedom fighters seeking refuge in apartheid South Africa, during which these individuals would take up a bank robbery, eventually taking the customers hostage. Yet it is their demands for the release of the hostages that turn out to be more of a surprise than most would believe: the release of Nelson Mandela. It is an action drama that has high-speed chases, crime and all the while under the backdrop of apartheid. Tension runs high in this film that is based on an actual event under the same name in 1980.

Show: Stranger Things (Season 4 Part 1)

The long wait is over for this fantastic series. Split up into two parts, the first part takes place nine months after the events at Starcourt Mall. That quirky group of kids have gone so much, and season four is a precursor to the end that audiences have been waiting. In this season, the gang is faced with a new threat under the name of Vecna, Eleven is trying to regain her abilities and Hopper is still stuck in a Russian prison. The Duffer twins have given a series that is both witty, funny, scary and down right fun to watch. This season has been praised especially for its visual effects and character development.

Podcast: Everything is Alive

An unscripted podcast that takes inanimate objects as its subject for the episode and runs through the whole life story of that object. Be it a bar soap, a mousetrap or Jack O' Lantern. The interesting bit isn't the subject itself but the hosts who conduct this podcast. You can tell a lot from that if they can make wooden stool sound cooler, then you damn sure this podcast will deliver an entertaining series. It is always a new perspective for this series, and considering several notable institutions have highly acclaimed it, it is more about you missing out on something great here than listening to something new.

Song: Daylight by Vory and Kanye West

Vory has made it on to Kanye West Donda album, and now he is once again collaborating with Kanye on this new song, Daylight. Some keen-eared listeners might notice that this song sounds similar to other songs on the Donda album, and for a good reason. The song was meant to be included in the album but cut out. A bleary synthy song that is another go made by Kanye to talk about the issues he is currently (and publicly) dealing. The spotlight deserves to be on Vory, as he has a become new favourite for some after his work on Donda, and this song won’t disappoint them.
