What To Do This Weekend 11.02.21

Wondering what to do this weekend? SLMan has you covered. From a new Netflix Series to at home boxing classes, here’s what to get stuck into…

GET STUCK INTO A NEW PODCAST: FROM NOW

TV and film legend Brian Cox, of Succession fame, joins forces with Game Of Thrones star Richard Madden for this new fictional podcast. A lost spaceship returns to earth after 35 years and a lone survivor disembarks, the same age as when he left. In the ensuing media chaos, he reunites with his identical twin (now an old man), but what starts as a joyful reconciliation leads to dark revelations that threaten their relationship, and the earth's population too.

BINGEWATCH THIS NETFLIX SERIES: Crime Scene: The Vanishing At The Cecil Hotel

From director Joe Berlinger (Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes), Crime Scene: The Vanishing At The Cecil Hotel is the first episode in a new documentary series that deconstructs the myths and mysteries surrounding infamous crime locations. For nearly a century, the Cecil Hotel in downtown LA has been linked to untimely deaths and serial killers. In 2013, college student Elisa Lam was staying at the Cecil when she vanished, igniting a media frenzy and mobilising a global community of internet detectives keen to solve the case. Lam’s disappearance, the latest chapter in the hotel’s complex history, offers a chilling and captivating lens into one of LA’s most immoral settings.
