Along with Martin Scorsese, Noah Baumbach and several other prominent filmmakers over the last year or so, Steven Soderbergh has also partnered with Netflix, releasing his latest movie, The Laundromat, in the middle of October.

While the film is annoyingly uneven and it doesn't always feel like Soderbergh has a firm grasp on the story (it's split up into a handful of different segments narrated by Gary Oldman and Antonio Banderas), the director has assembled an insanely top-tier cast for the project, and they're all reliably fantastic in their roles.

Oldman, Banderas, Meryl Streep, Jeffrey Wright, Sharon Stone, Robert Patrick, and David Schwimmer - to name a few - make the potentially dull subject of money laundering highly engaging to watch, and thanks to Soderbergh keeping things relatively breezy, The Laundromat is a fun ride that moves at a brisk pace.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
