Oh shucks, he's back

BINGE: SCHUSTER AND KING ARE ON THE TV COUCH THIS WEEKEND

- Hein Kaiser

Hold onto your slapsticks because Leon Schuster is back on Showmax with a stack of the catalogue flicks that made him a household name, and then some. Mzansi talent leads this week's lineup of binge-watching as spring draws near and pollen counts instill fear in sinuses.

Best to stay in, laze on the couch and watch Mad Buddies. This Schuster movie from the early 2000s is as silly as it gets.

The humour, judging by the ridiculous giggles from my five- and six-year-old kids, is accessible enough to really make for a great family night in.

It's also a sign of the times. This comes after Showmax cut six Schuster features from its roster in the wake of global political correctness. Now, with Mr Bones 3 added back into the lineup, the slapstick baton is firmly in hand once more.
