SATURDAY JUNE 5

THE SPONGEBOB MOVIE: SPONGE OUT OF WATER (TVNZ 2, 7.00pm). The second amusing movie spin-off from the long-running and enjoyably absurd animated series about the residents of Bikini Bottom. Antonio Banderas plays Burger Beard, pirate and thief of the secret Krabby Patty formula. (2015)

The sequel to the 2008 movie-of-the-musical reunites the starry cast on that Greek island 10 years later while also flashing back to the Meryl Streep character Donna’s life in 1979 (where she’s played by Lily James). It doesn’t have. (2018)
