Xander De Rycke: Houdt Het Voor Bekeken 2023
More important than the Kastaars, sharper than Viktor Verhulst's jawline and louder than Fien Germijns. The First Avenger of media criticism finally comes back out of the ice to shout from behind his tub. It has been a scary world without Xander De Rycke. Flemish films are successful again, VRT's weatherman has retired and Niels Destadsbader has been replaced by someone who calls himself Meteor. Not to mention the channel that was hijacked by Gert and James, that singing competition in carnival costumes and Tom Waes complaining about history with our tax money on a potato patch. But not to worry, your best friend is back with the only year-end conference that matters.
