Netflix has announced that their much loved Series “Cunk On” is returning on November 15, 2026 for the new series “Cunk On Cinema.” We love Philomena Cunk, and so we jumped at the chance to once again review the series.
As always we break down our reviews into three categories, Story, Acting, and Overall. So let’s jump in!
Story 7/10
The series does a great job telling the history of Cinema through the earliest forms, delving into film movements, and the progressions that has occured over the year. Cunk interviews experts of film, script writers, cinematographers, directors, and even celebraties throughout the series.
All the whole while, she showcases and introjects AI created products, leading to a reveal of her true feelings towards the systems.
Acting 10/10
I love how much Diane Morgan disappears into the character. While I’ve loved her work on After Life and more recently VisionQuest, this is quite frankly my favorite role that Morgan has done in the past.
While everyone else in the series, with the exception of one, are real people, she is the only one acting, and It’s amazing how much of a straight face she keeps. I have no idea how she pulls it off.
Overall 8/10
Unlike Philomena Cunk’s other projects, the storys are very closed off as they are limited specifically to the field of Cinema. While there are a ton of films and history to work with, Cunk’s prior series focused on Life and History pull from such a wider field of content to make fun of.
I specifically find it interesting how with a absurdist presentation, Cunk, more specifically Diane Morgan, does a great job showcasing how horrible AI is when used in research, film making, and well… generally everything.
Conner’s Final Thoughts
I will specifically state that I want unedited copies of all of her interviews. Specifically with Benedict Cumberbatch and Michael Bay. The way she is able to play with them, it’s insane and I love it.
