Well, hello again there, our soutie-van die-aarde-readers!
Welcome back to your own little Rooinek hoekie here on Wat Kyk Jy?! It has been blerrie tough in Safafrika this past week, what with the rain turning people on their way to work on the N1 into even bigger doses? And the loadshedding across Mzanzi? What the entire fuck, ESKOM? It even had old Cyril Ramapoespas punintentially shocked. How did this catch you by surprise, prez? Boet, are you actually living inside Zuma’s turtle shell now? Blink twice for ‘yes’ if you need our help.
By the way, guys, “poespas” is not a vloekwoord. It is legit another Afrikaans word for “deurmekmaarspul” which means “fuck-up” (which is totes a vloekwoord in your taal). You’ll learn lots of Afrikaans here, one word at a time.
If you want to avoid a poespas this weekend, we’ve got you covered. It looks like the rain will persist over most of our country and there is no loadshedding planned… YET. So grab your jammies, pillow, duvet, some hot chocolate and if you’re into alcohol, I would imagine Pimm’s and cucumbers. You can klap a single brannas and coke if you can “verstaan but not praat die taal”.
What look you this weekend? You look at our lekker list, compliments of The Plumlist.

#9 Just Go with It (Valentine’s weekend choice) Just Go with It was one of the better days for Sandler, who finds himself on a Hawaiian weekend trip opposite Jennifer Aniston and Bond girl hopeful, Brooklyn Decker. Starting a romance on a careless lie isn’t exactly how most folks want to tell their “how we met” story, but Sandler’s romcoms are easy-watching guilty pleasures. |

#7 30 Rock Definitely don’t watch Tidying Up with Marie Kondo on Netflix if you don’t want to clean your house. Because once you’ve watched it, you’ll want to. You’ll be buying clear plastic boxes, mega rolls of bin bags and calling up your nearest NGO to come and pick up all your junk. (Or, at least, that will be your intention.) |

#6 The Prince and Me (Valentine’s weekend choice) We loved Julia Stiles opposite Heath Ledger in The Taming of the Shrew-inspired teen classic, 10 Things I Hate About You. The experience must be what prompted the angsty Stiles to take the lead in the modern Cinderella adaptation The Prince and Me.

#2 Wedding guests are elegantly wasted in Wonderlus You might be surprised to learn that our film industry is actually one of the oldest in the world, dating back to 1896. Yet, South African film carries a stigma… in part owing to our slapstick Leon Schuster candid camera era. |

[feature_headline type=”left, center, right” level=”h2″ looks_like=”h3″ icon=”lightbulb-o”] Our randomized trailer pick of the week [/feature_headline]
Each week we take a number from 1 to 10 from our list of suggestions and put it through a randomizer to choose a trailer to show you. We’re not doing that this week, because we found something totally awesome-mer to show you. Something that might tug at the nostalgic heartstrings. Hence our not-so-misleading headline, “Holy crap, Batman! Where did you dig this shit out?”
Kids from the 70s and 80s, step right up! And those of you who grew up in the nineties and naughties, take a careful step forward and witness the crap we had to endure on TV as laities…
Detective Alexander Holmes has no luck with his partners. They always end up at the hospital or the morgue. But this won’t happen to his very new partner, YoYo, a sophisticated and indestructible android. The series follows their adventures and misadventures, as Holmes teaches YoYo what it is like to be human, while trying to keep his quirky partner’s true nature a secret from criminals and fellow cops.
Remember Yoyo accessing a keypad under his tie or pushing his nose to take a picture? This series only lasted 13 episodes. Here is episode 1. For the rest, you’re on your own, buddy…
