"Oscar Wilde is one of the most important figures in our history and culture — a playwright, essayist, novelist. Every time I re-read his work I am reminded of his wit and sassiness and how widely he influenced our culture. He is a model of creativity, aestheticism and sexuality."

"Friedrich’s detailed book will show you how the most incredible culture of the 20th century was destroyed and lost by racism. Let’s hope we won’t do this again"

Wow! This novel deserves all the hype it gets. It's manages to be incredibly magical in such a sci-fi world, yet still remaining relatable. The characters are beautifully rounded and strong. The one downside is, if you have very little knowledge of 80's pop culture references, you may find yourself lost in this one.

If anyone fancies it, I admin a group over on Facebook that's all about pop culture, from movies to video games, and everything in between. Feel free to come and join! We're in the middle of voting for the best comic book movie of all time at the moment, and there's still time to have your say.

Just search for Neon Nan's Culture Shock 🤘

This show showed the brutal nature of rape culture and the harm it does to women without sugar coating it. It showed sexual assault in a very realistic manner.

A movie about more than aliens. A movie that is itself a damning statement against racism and the culture in South Africa.

It was interesting to read about the Gypsy culture and the holocaust. It explains a lot about they behaviour since then. The name changes of the characters can make it a bit difficult to follow the story.

A funny film set in 70's Manchester as a Pakistani family have a culture clash between the parents and kids over traditional Muslim values and English culture. Not quite as funny as I thought it would be, quite serious towards the end but it was still funny see the kids trying to out smart their father. A lot of familiar faces from English TV star in this.
