Steve Newall: Flicks.co.nz editor on the new action rom-com The Fall Guy

You are Here by David Nicholls – Marnie and Michael are brought together by a mutual friend. Marnie doesn’t get out much and feels as though life is passing her by – and Michael’s a newly separated teacher trying to survive in his new single life. They embark on a hike across the Lake District - the landscape in this book is vivid and real, you could be walking it yourself - and as they find their place in the world, so too do they find their place together. From the author of One Day which is currently popular on Netflix - David Nicholls has written another masterclass about the roads down which life can lead you.

Magic Pill by Johann Hari. This is a look at the new diet drugs which are gaining huge popularity, in particular Ozempic – which the author started taking himself to understand the benefits as well as any down sides, and it’s a very personal look at it. The drugs are so new that no one knows what the long term impacts might be, but in the meantime Ozempic, in particular, has become a new fashion item, magically helping people lose huge amounts of weight and appearing to transform their lives.

This week on the Sunday Panel, editor Jo McCarroll and NZ Herald senior writer Simon Wilson joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more!

As retail crime amps up, security guards want more workplace protections and legal power to detain criminals. Will these measures help cut down on crime?

NZ First leader Winston Peters has pledged to introduce a members bill requiring separate unisex and single-sex toilets in all new publicly accessible buildings. Is this really an issue New Zealanders should be concerned about?

Some common British insults like 'ninny', 'nitwit', 'prat' or 'git' are being forgotten by younger generations. Do we need to work to keep these words alive before cruder words replace them altogether.
