Get Jiro: Bourdain’s Violent Food Satire Debuts on Adult Swim

Get Jiro, a ten-episode animated series based on the 2012 graphic novel co-written by Anthony Bourdain and Joel Rose, premiered on Adult Swim on October 3 and streamed on HBO Max on October 4. Set in a dystopian Los Angeles where food is the only non-virtual pleasure, the show depicts a turf war between rival chefs who operate like crime lords. The series uses extreme violence to satirize modern food culture, featuring a stoic sushi chef named Jiro who decapitates customers for improper etiquette. While the animation is grotesque and pulpy, critics note that the series retains Bourdain’s underlying respect for culinary craft and cultural authenticity, blending neo-noir action with sharp social commentary on gentrification and class.

Russell T Davies cancels Doctor Who Christmas Special to clear path for new era

Russell T Davies has cancelled the planned 2026 Doctor Who Christmas Special, ending his tenure with the franchise. The decision follows the collapse of the Disney deal and a strategic shift to allow a new production team to take over. Davies revealed that the finale featured Billie Piper as the Doctor, a surprise move necessitated by the uncertainty of the show's future. He cited the BBC's financial constraints and the upcoming tender process as reasons to abandon the special, which he felt was neither a proper finale nor a series opener. Davies expressed frustration with online leaks that ruined plot twists but praised the BBC's new leadership for prioritizing the show's long-term health over a single episode. The cancellation leaves the Billie Piper appearance as a loose end, which Davies believes can be easily explained away by future writers. This marks the end of an era for the Whoniverse, with Davies expressing gratitude for the experience while looking forward to new projects like Tip Toe.
