4 things to know about The Death of Bunny Munro

Wed, 11/05/2025 - 12:11

Nick Cave's 2009 rambunctious novel The Death of Bunny Munro has been adapted for the screen, with Doctor Who and House of the Dragon star Matt Smith ricocheting through questionable life choices as the titular protagonist. Directed by Holiday's Isabella Eklöf and adapted by Somewhere Boy creator Pete Jackson, Sky's new six-part series brings Cave's book to life.

We watched the first two episodes of The Death of Bunny Munro during the London Literature Festival, and here's everything we can tell you.

SEE ALSO: 'Train Dreams' review: Joel Edgerton brings Denis Johnson's novella to life What is The Death of Bunny Munro about?

In one of the most problematic, confounding protagonists you'll meet, Bunny Munro (Smith) is a travelling beauty product salesman living in Brighton, England, who treats his young family as a side dish. Though sex addiction isn't recognised by science, it's clear Bunny struggles to stop thinking about or having sex and has a turbulent, adulterous life outside his marriage. And when Bunny isn't trying to seduce every woman he meets or sells moisturiser to, he's getting completely zonked with his friends including Poodle (The Wheel of Time's Johann Myers).

"I'm just drawn to broad characters, transgressive characters," Cave said speaking onstage at the London Literature Festival with Smith and broadcaster Edith Bowman. "I just think they're more interesting, more interesting to write about. But they are the ones we should watch. They're the ones we should pay attention to. On some level, they are the truth tellers, and I've always felt that way about these problematic characters."

When Bunny's wife Libby (Sarah Greene) dies by suicide, he's suddenly grieving and solo parenting their nine-year-old son Bunny Junior (Rafael Mathé). Libby's mother (Lindsay Duncan) despises her no-good son-in-law, and Bunny Junior keeps having visions of his mum in his grief. However, Bunny both has no inclination to change his behaviour and will not allow social services to take his son away. So, they hit the road, with Bunny careening around Brighton from one tumultuous happening to another. It's not pretty. And it's here we get a raucous performance from Smith, offset by the sweetness of remarkable young talent in Mathé.

"I spent every day with him, but he's absolutely fabulous company. I was outboxed and outfoxed by a nine-year-old every day," said Smith. "Pete [Jackson] had to write essentially two different scripts, because I would swear on my take and then on [Mathé's] take, I'd have to say, 'flip.' I gave him a swear jar, cost me a fortune."

The Death of Bunny Munro began as a script first, novel second, script third

Having published his first novel in 1989, And the Ass Saw the Angel, Cave had another up his sleeve — but it started with the screen in mind. The music icon said he had written the script for John Hillcoat's The Proposition, a 2005 Australian Western starring Guy Pearce, and the director asked him to write another script in the wake of that film's success.

"He said I want you to write a script about a traveling salesman that has a near death experience, go away and do it," said Cave. "So I wrote a film script which no one wanted to make. No one ever wants to make this film. It's a complete surprise, a complete miracle that it ever got made, but people keep trying and trying to make the film. Anyway, it didn't get made, so I turned it into a novel."

Cave said he wrote The Death of Bunny Munro while touring with The Bad Seeds in the 2000s, sitting in the back of the bus writing as his bandmates "threw pieces of bread at me."

"I wrote the novel on the tour bus with my band, so basically, Bunny Munro, a lot of the dialogue actually just comes out of being on a bus with eight men, touring around," he said. "I didn't have to reach far 20 years ago."

Having created the dark, comedic thriller series Somewhere Boy, screenwriter Pete Jackson worked with Cave to carefully adapt his novel for TV, backed by Clerkenwell Films, the production team behind Emmy-winning Netflix series Baby Reindeer.

"I approached it with a certain amount of skepticism, because I just been through this so many times with this character," said Cave, who then praised Jackson's writing for balancing his book's darkness with levity. "It's different from the book, which is extremely internal — it's just about where his mind going when he's looking around the world. Not a lot actually happens in the book, it just goes from one tawdry event to another. But right from the beginning [of the series], Pete put in stuff that propelled the story forward."

Nick Cave and Warren Ellis crafted a score for the show

Fans of Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, rejoice! Cave has teamed up with his longtime friend and Bad Seed for another score. It's a strange, melancholic, and beautiful atmosphere created by the pair, who have worked together on a string of film and theatre scores, from The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford to The Road and Back to Black.

When can you watch The Death of Bunny Munro?

Good news if you're in the UK, The Death of Bunny Munro premieres on Sky Atlantic and NOW on Nov. 20. There's no release date for the U.S. yet, but considering the star power behind the series, it'll likely be streaming soon.

The Pokémon TCG Destined Rivals Team Rocket Tin is below market value at Amazon right now

Wed, 11/05/2025 - 12:01

BELOW MARKET VALUE: As of Nov. 5, the Pokémon TCG Destined Rivals Team Rocket Tin is now at market value, down to $42.94 at Amazon compared to $46.98 at TCGplayer.

Mega Evolution and Phantasmal Flames is all the rage right now, to the point where the Scarlet and Violet era of Pokémon TCG is yesterday's news. But Destined Rivals has some of the best artwork of the last generation and you shouldn't be sleeping on it. Right now, trainers can grab a Destined Rivals Team Rocket Tin containing five booster packs for $42.94 at Amazon, which is $4 cheaper than TCGplayer's $46.98.

That means Amazon is below market value — a rare sight indeed.

Focusing on Team Rocket alongside Pokémon Gold and Silver's protagonist Ethan, Destined Rivals is the second Scarlet and Violet set carrying the trainer Pokémon torch alongside in Journey Together. The last time we saw these cards was back in the early 2000s Wizards of the Coast era, so there's plenty of nostalgia for long-time Pokémon trainers.

Unless I was planning on ripping open sealed products anyway like in my Phantasmal Flames review, I usually just find what my favorite cards are going for and buy them on the secondary market from eBay or TCGplayer. Is it because I don't like enjoying life in general? Maybe, but it usually ends up saving you a small fortune when you're looking for hard-to-pull chase cards. It's more money upfront, but you'll likely save money just getting the card straight up.

Here's the top chase cards from Destined Rivals alongside their current values and where to buy them:

Marvel's First Family relaunched on the big screen this summer and blew the box office away. Now, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is coming to take over the streaming world.

Directed by Matt Shakman (WandaVision), First Steps stars Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Invisible Woman, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing, and Joseph Quinn as The Human Torch — a lineup Mashable's reviewer calls "exceptional."

If you missed the new MCU movie in theaters, now's your chance to check it out at home. Here's everything you need to know about how to watch The Fantastic Four: First Steps, including when and where it's streaming.

What is The Fantastic Four: First Steps about?

Set in a 1960s-inspired retro-futuristic world, The Fantastic Four: First Steps reintroduces Marvel's First Family as they face the ultimate trolley problem. Planet-eating Galactus (Ralph Ineson) has marked Earth as next on his menu, but promises to spare it if Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal) and Sue Storm/the Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby) give up their newborn baby, Franklin. It's up to the Fantastic Four to save both the world and Franklin — as a family.

Check out the official trailer for a first look:

Is The Fantastic Four: First Steps worth watching?

"First Steps is, in a word, fantastic," Mashable's reviewer Siddhant Adlakha writes. He also calls it "one of the best MCU films in years," and as you know, there have been dozens. Others appear to agree, as the movie currently holds a solid 87 percent Rotten Tomatoes score from critics and a stellar 91 percent from audiences.

"It’s been ages since a Marvel movie has succeeded like The Fantastic Four: First Steps, a delightful throwback adventure nestling a family soap opera. In many ways, no entry in the MCU has felt as detailed or inspired, let alone shown as much adoration for Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's comic book source material," Adlakha writes. "You know what they say: the thirty-seventh time's the charm."

Even if you're a jaded MCU fan, we think First Steps could be the movie to get you out of your superhero slump.

Buy or rent it on digital

The Fantastic Four: First Steps became available to watch at home via video-on-demand on Sept. 23, 2025, two months post-theatrical release.

We're hoping it will be available to rent for a cheaper price in the coming days.

You can purchase the film at the following retailers:

Stream it on Disney+

Disney+ is the streaming home of every film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so it's no surprise that The Fantastic Four: First Steps will make its streaming debut alongside the others. You can stream The Fantastic Four: First Steps on Disney+ beginning Nov. 5, 2025.

You can save some money on a Disney+ subscription on its own by signing up for an annual plan upfront. The yearly plan without ads will cost you $189.99 per year, which breaks down to $15.83 per month instead of the usual $18.99 per month. That's 17% or a total of $37.89 in savings.

They're one of the most popular names for a reason, and watches like the vívoactive 5 will give you advanced tracking and lifestyle monitoring for a reasonable price. And as of Nov. 5, it is now on sale for $199.99. That's a $100 discount.

The vívoactive 5 is a stellar option, and despite being replaced by the 6 as the newest in the vívoactive range earlier this year, we still think this is a top choice. It has a bright, colorful AMOLED display that is controlled by both by a touchscreen and physical buttons.

The tracking abilities are almost endless, with all kinds of health data available.

You can check your sleep score, get tips on how to improve your rest, and see useful details like heart rate variability to understand how your body’s doing overall. Other stats include menstrual and pregnancy tracking, and guided meditation.

But it really comes into its own for sports tracking. It has over 30 built-in sports apps, including running, cycling, and swimming. It also has a wheelchair mode that tracks pushes instead of steps, and includes push and handcycle activities for strength, cardio, HIIT, Pilates, and yoga.

Mega Evolution boosters and Phantasmal Flames preorders are on fire right now, with every trainer and their Houndoom scrambling to get hold of sealed product. For me, this is a great time to look at older sets to find some solid deals. So scoring White Flare Booster Bundles at market value on Amazon is exactly what I'm talking about.

These go for a dollar or two less at TCGplayer, but that little extra to have it in your hands tomorrow thanks to Prime delivery is well worth it. Either way, it's a good deal, costing $8.56 per booster pack on Amazon.

White Flare is the other half of Black Bolt, the massive two-part expansion that capped off the Scarlet and Violet Pokémon TCG era. Every Pokémon found in Unova has either an Illustration Rare, Secret Illustration Rare, or Black and White Rare. The latter features Reshiram ex, Zekrom ex, and Two Victini Exs for each half of Black Bolt and White Flare. Long story short, it's a pain to master set, but an absolute joy to rip open.

The problem with Black Bolt and White Flare is getting chase cards, with the higher end SIRs and Black White Rares next to impossible to find amongst all of the Illustration, Pokéball, and Masterball rares. If you're after specific cards and high-end chase cards, it'll likely save money just buying up single cards.
