The Daddio debacle
After individual screens went down, passengers on a Qantas flight got a rude shock when they chose to watch this Dakota Johnson movie featuring lewd texts and dick pics. But why did they even vote for it in the first place??
Songs for the dead  
Also scary: the new wave of musicals aiming for shock value with crime, cartels, and climate change.
Filled with dread  
Oscar-winning animator Adam Elliot's films are filled with freaks and frights – and we chatted to him about his latest, Memoir of a Snail.
Wearing lead  
The scariest thing of all, though? Our Halloween costumes might be filled with toxic chemicals.

Virginia Trioli set her kitchen on fire while making this recipe. Try it at your own risk?

Has anyone checked on Caroline Calloway? Well, yes – she’s staying in Florida during the hurricane and she is alive, apparently? For now! May she live and make headlines forever.

Incredible duos: Kyle Chayka and Taylor Lorenz; Merve Emre and Sally Rooney; King Charles and cling film

Good reads: how podcasts became the main character of the US election; how Harley Quinn became the main character; how this living room became a daycare. Hot takes: everything is bad! There is too much Wicked merch! JD Vance IS NOT HOT!!!! But Russian Timothée Chalamet is.

A film – king cad  
Distribution nightmares, a rumour mill in overdrive, a cease-and-desist, Jeremy Strong: movies are BACK! Trump biopic The Apprentice is in cinemas now.

A book – prose mad  
Tim Winton's new novel Juice might be his most potent – an epic dystopian tome set in a scorching future that's a love letter to his country and hate mail to those who lay waste to the earth.

… there is a good reason why not to support the Guardian

Not everyone can afford to pay for news right now. That is why we keep our journalism open for everyone to read. If this is you, please continue to read for free.

But if you are able to, then there are three good reasons to support us today.

1

Our quality, investigative journalism is a powerful force for scrutiny at a time when the rich and powerful are getting away with more and more

2

We are independent and have no billionaire owner telling us what to report, so your money directly powers our reporting

3

It doesn’t cost much, and takes less time than it took to read this message

Help power the Guardian’s journalism in this crucial year of news, whether with a small sum or a larger one. If you can, please support us on a monthly basis . It takes less than a minute to set up, and you can rest assured that you're making a big impact every single month in support of open, independent journalism. Thank you.
