Time Out No. #68 | Tuesday 1 March 2022

For most people, Shrove Tuesday does not entail going to a restaurant. It’s something you attempt in your kitchen. Two lemon-and-sugar, followed by two Nutella-and-banana. Them’s the rules. But maybe this year you do want to make Pancake Day a bit special? Maybe you do want someone else to do the flipping? If that sounds appealing, you probably want to check out our big list of the best pancake places in town.

A film that has one national treasure (Jim Broadbent) playing another national treasure (Geordie cabbie Kempton Bunton), who was accused of stealing another national treasure (Goya’s ‘Portrait of the Duke of Wellington’) from the National Gallery in 1961.

There may never be a better time to shut yourself off from the world for a couple of hours and watch a bunch of grown men fire things into each others' balls. Yes, the Jackass crew is back to cheer us all up. See their latest for its emotional snapshot of friendship and the passing of time, or see it for the kaiju penis puppet attack.

Francis Ford Coppola’s extraordinary Mafia opus is a landmark of moviemaking that's still providing ‘unrefusable offers’ half a century on. You've probably seen it a bunch of times but maybe not on the big screen – and now’s your chance. It’s really worth it.
