Film, food, fashion, music – it’s all culture… Popular Instagram account and podcast No Filler cuts through the internet noise, with weekly lists from curator Anthony Remedy and guest creatives based at home and abroad.

Anthony brings you his latest list below…

It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley (Selected cinemas nationwide)

I’d be surprised if director Amy Berg’s delicate and heartfelt documentary It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley – exploring Jeff Buckley’s rise in the early–mid ’90s to his death in 1997 – isn’t in my top 10 of 2026.

The respect and love pour through every frame, from the dreamy animation sequences to his unique live performances. Whether he was playing Glastonbury Festival or at Sin-é – taking drinks orders one minute, then singing “Last Goodbye” on the mic the next – like all great singers, he made you feel like he was singing directly to you.

Unusually, the doc isn’t stuffed with famous talking heads. I’m sure everyone from our own Glen Hansard to Lana Del Rey to Thom Yorke would have been keen to contribute (Yorke’s vocal performance on “Fake Plastic Trees” was directly influenced by Buckley after seeing him live), but it’s more centred on the women in his life – his mother, his long-time girlfriend – and his band.

Like Jeff himself, there’s a tenderness to this documentary that’s in stark contrast to the Netflix-ification of so many modern docs, which tend to bang you over the head with information YOU MUST KNOW.

Also, I’m unquestionably a fan of Grace (Buckley’s only solo album, and widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time). But I didn’t know the ins and outs of his life, so it’s particularly fascinating to learn what made this fragile, romantic songwriter tick.

Ministry of Sound, London

Ministry of Sound – the London club that launched many a DJ career and soundtracked pre- and post-afterparties worldwide with its mix CDs – has had a major refit.

Described as a complete reimagining of the space, the main floor DJ booth is no longer “in the gods”; it’s been repositioned onto the dancefloor to create a more personal connection.

Friends were there last week for Joe Claussell, Ron Trent and Tony Humphries – and gave it two hands in the air.

Love Story (Streaming on Disney+)

Ryan Murphy’s Love Story, the hugely anticipated show based on John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s relationship, is now streaming on Disney+.

No Filler’s younger readers may not realise just how big a deal this couple was. The yoof might recognise CBK’s (and to a lesser extent John’s) style — she has influenced fashion for decades, a constant on mood boards worldwide, wearing Prada, Hermès, Levi’s, Yohji Yamamoto and more. She’s basically The Row’s original IT girl and the poster woman for ’90s minimalism.

IMO, the handsome son of a president who got together with a Calvin Klein employee was, in many ways, a NYC version of Charles III and Diana, Princess of Wales. “John John,” as the media called him, was essentially an American prince.

Newcomers Sarah Pidgeon and Paul Anthony Kelly star, and both are excellent – believable without slipping into impersonation. They could easily become breakout stars, especially Kelly. High production values, fashion that reflects the era (with the seal of approval from obsessive CBK fans), and constant ’90s needle drops – from Primal Scream to PM Dawn to Sophie B. Hawkins – make this peak ’90s nostalgia.

Despite what some critics are saying, I think it’s well worth your streaming time.

David Byrne – 3Arena, March 13th

Part travelling art show, part pop concert, David Byrne’s deconstructed live show dances into town in a few weeks for what will be one of the gigs of the year.

Touring his new album Who Is in the Sky, Byrne doesn’t just shut up and play the hits. Well, he does play some. Actually, a lot – all the Talking Heads classics. And why wouldn’t he?

Like making sushi, the show looks effortless but is hugely complex in its simplicity. Expect to see half the arts scene in the audience – Byrne reliably brings out the Irish boho crowd.

It’s been sold out for months, but don’t worry – he’ll be back in Dublin this June, for a show in St. Anne’s Park.

Keith McNally on The Expense Account Podcast (Available via Apple, Spotify, etc)

Restaurateur Keith McNally — often credited with inventing downtown NYC dining — is the latest (and final) guest of Season 1 of The Expense Account podcast.

Owner of Balthazar, Pastis, Minetta Tavern and more, McNally changed NYC dining – which in turn influenced America, which in turn influenced the world. A real-life The Devil Wears Prada blue-jumper moment.

Interviewed by J. Lee, critic-at-large at Feed Me and food editor of Interview Magazine, McNally’s natural wit comes through in almost every line. Smart, self-deprecating, restaurant genius. Listen for how he started, his views on social media, and why he hates PR. Classic Keith…

Eugene Healey on Instagram

In a never-ending ocean of mediocre explainer-style short-form Insta videos, brand strategy consultant Eugene Healey stands out.

His videos are refreshing, thoughtful and well researched. Whether explaining why the ability to sit around with friends “wasting time” is now a status symbol, or why the millennial lifestyle brand is dead, he delivers concise, clear takes to his growing audience of 326K followers.

I also like his viewpoints — they’re similar to my own (there’s a surprise). He’s just much better at editing. And talking.

The Moment (Cinemas nationwide, from Friday)

Have you ever been on the crest of a wave you know will eventually crash? Or on the back of a tiger, not fully in control?

The Moment, directed by Aidan Zamiri and based on an idea by Charli XCX, tracks the monumental success of BRAT and the summer that followed.

Shot as a fly-on-the-wall mockumentary, Charli — playing a version of herself — is pressured to turn BRAT into a tour film, with hotshot director Johannes (a scene-stealing Alexander Skarsgård) adding his two cents to the hottest show in town. “We don’t want families to turn off.”

Anyone who has dealt with marketing and sponsorship will recognise that sinking feeling of having to listen to random notes and suggestions.

Charli turns out to be a very good actress — it probably helps when you know the source material. Is it a mockumentary or not really? Did someone suggest the hashtag #BRAT on stage? You’d put money on it.

The film explores vision vs business, art vs sponsorship — that Gen X fear of “selling out” in the post-social-media age. This version of Charli knows she has to do it to keep up, but deep down she suspects it’s sad. I wonder if the real Charli feels the same. I hope so.

Casa Bacardi Presents The Blessed Madonna & Butch – March 13, PYG Dublin

Starting Paddy’s weekend with a stormer, The Blessed Madonna (AKA Marea Renee Stamper) rolls into town with support from Butch.

Known in pop circles for work with Dua, Kylie and Ariana, to the underground she’s simply a brilliant DJ. With Butch in support, this one has banger written all over it.

The Hoxton vs Yamamori Izakaya

One person’s night out is another person’s sleepless hotel stay.

The Hoxton Dublin, recently opened on Exchequer Street in Dublin 2 – very much a going-out area — has reportedly sought an injunction against neighbours Yamamori Izakaya over music levels from their club nights.

I can see both sides. Ireland welcomes tourists with open arms, but there’s a reason millions come here — for the restaurants, pubs and clubs as much as the history.

Hopefully, a workable arrangement can be reached that doesn’t damage either side. A bit of sense should prevail.
