Endgame:

Can there be misery more loftier than mine? - Hamm

Adapted from Samuel Beckett's play, set in an inexplicable post apocalyptic scenario, we are stuck in a ‘living room' with a blind, wheelchair-bound old man, Hamm, and his codependenti yet irritatable servant, Clov, briefly alongside Hamm’s more geriatric parents, Nagg and Nell, whose humble bed is the trash can. Throughout the plot, they all ponder about their lives overall, as they slowly lose the game of life. Expect the typical theatrical minimalism and tragicomedy we all know and love, like we saw in Waiting for Godot (2002).

Generally accepted to be Beckett’s bleakest play - indeed after it’s 1957 English debut at the Royal Court, the TLS’s Olivier Todd quipped that it made Waiting for Godot look like “a cheerful operetta”. However, Beckett himself described it as “the favourite of my plays.” Although the programme was not broadcast until 1991 it was recorded in 1989 prior to Beckett’s death and had his blessing.

World’s End

FInally, we meet the end of the trilogy of the 3 flavor cornettos

The World's End is a 2013 science fiction action comedy film directed by Edgar Wright and written by Wright and Simon Pegg. – The film focuses on five friends who return to their hometown for a pub crawl and uncover an alien invasion.

In 1995, Wright wrote a screenplay titled Crawl about teenagers on a pub crawl. Deciding it was better suited as a comedic exploration of young adulthood and aging, he reworked the screenplay with Pegg in the early 2010s

The stunts were coordinated by members of Jackie Chan Stunt Team, and The World's End is considered a social science fiction film.[6]

Barely any, except maybe a dog plushie thrown, and a spouse dying. Maybe a slap or push.

Profanity: Mild

One could go worse than the likes of ‘bitched’ and ‘accused fornicator’.

Substance Abuse: None

There is no more… substance abuse. I mean, really, there’s no more… painkiller, even.

Frightening Et Intense Scenes: Mild

Existential themes are at play; also the characters are assholes to each other, except maybe Nell, she seems sweet. Elder abuse maybe.
