Songkran season is in full swing which means it’s time to turn the AC up, get some soda, order pizza, and binge. See Michael Douglas take on the role of a Founding Father, watch Andrew Scott step into the shoes of an iconic character, or spend some time in Wes Anderson’s pastel-coloured world. If that doesn’t seem to pique your interest, consider a delightful and violent romp through a post-nuclear world.
