Hello and welcome to the Guide helmed, in Gwilym’s absence, by me this week. As well as being the 62nd Guide to ever grace your inboxes, it is also one of six more editions before 2022 finally comes to an end (maybe it’s the constant flow of British prime ministers, but it does feel like it’s been going for a while now, right?).
But just because the John Lewis ad is out, America is celebrating Thanksgiving and we’re about to be deluged by tinsel and Christmas films, don’t assume that culture is done and dusted. Below you’ll find some final music, TV and film releases to put in your diaries before the end of the year, before the business of end-of-year lists and – of course – looks ahead to 2023 begin. We’ve also got our book of the month, and all of our regular cultural goodness below.
