Netflix vs Cinema

Serious De ja Vu this week as Tosin finds himself again watching a film on Amazon Prime about a couple stuck in a time loop. Or is it he who is stuck in a time loop (hmm) Shaun manages to stick to one film this week with the low key superhero (or is he?) fare that is Archenemy. And Sharon catches up with what Mel Gibson's been up to with the Professor and the Madman. Is Netflix killing cinemas? Ea...

Sharon catches up with one of those 'Everyone talks about but no one's seen' shows in the Expanse, Tosin sees Women's issues shown on screen in a way that he's not experienced often in Saint Frances, And Shaun realises that James Franco is someone he might like to have a drink with due to Zeroville. In our also ran section, Shaun discusses Antebellum (and Tosin talks about how he can't bring himse...

Sharon casts an eye over Taraji P. Henson and Sam Rockwell in Best of Enemies, Shaun goes back to World War II with Judi Dench in 6 minutes to midnight, And Tosin dabbles in a Rick and Morty esque world with Solar Opposites.

It's Finally here!! #releasethesnydercut can stop (as if). After being decidedly underwhelmed by 2017's Justice League, Tosin, Shaun and Sharon examine if the 2021 version is any better. includes why Superman's Black costume is nonsense Why Wonder Woman was given terrible lines to say throughout the entire 4 hours Why this movie even has to be 4 hours and in less contentious news, Tosin and Sharon...

In a week in which we resolutely refuse to watch Zack Snyder's Justice league on the day it's released (I mean, we have lives people!!), Sharon resolutely refuses to watch anything, Shaun Whittkes down his list to present us with his new muse Hermione Corfield, and Tosin dabbles in a feminist revolution with Moxie. Also rans (films that we didn't go in depth to but rated) Long Shot (documentary) B...

After the normal show and Sharon left, Tosin and Shaun got into a spoiler reliant chat about Wandavision, the first Marvel Cinematic Universe show on Disney +. What did that moment mean? What next? What Multiverse? Enjoy. Is Netflix killing cinemas? Each week we weigh up what we've seen in cinemas with what we've watched online at home and figure out which provided the best time.

This week we watch so much that we have an 'Also-Ran' section and all bring one thing that we have watched this week to the fore. Things that we watched but didn't take centre stage include Rising Hawk The Banana Splits Movie Thank you for your service Bikram Longshot (documentary) A Call to Spy In the main show, we had Shaun casting an eye on Misbehaviour, Sharon talking revisionist westerns in D...

This week, we marvel that we didn't even realise that awards season has started with the Golden Globes, or did it?

2021, New Year, same as the Old? In our first show of the year we have a hangover, not just in the fact that 2021 inevitably looks a lot like 2020, But even in movies we start with Sharon watching what sounds like one of THOSE Christmas movies in Holidate.

On the final Day of 2020 We gather and we ask, filmicly speaking, what was 2020? We review what could well be the biggest cinematic release of 2020 (low bar, we know) in Wonder Woman 1984 and what could have been a significant cinematic moment with Pixars Soul. Mandalorian Season 2 also shows up, and for those who've seen it, we promise we don't spoil THAT moment. Listen and subscribe on iTunes ht...

NETFLIX WINS 2020 not only are cinemas showing no sign of coming back, Netflix establishes it's dominance on all corners with everything we watch this week being a Netflix production.

We also...

After a break involving multiple hospital visits, the gang is back together with two of the three sitting pretty in a Tier 1 COVID area.

We are down a Shaun this week, and what we lose in pure enthusiasm, we make up for in boring enthusiasm. Sharon makes it into a cinema (just before another lockdown) Tosin watches 6 seasons of Schitt's Creek in 2 weeks and Sharon sees if Ben Wheatley, Armie Hammer, Lily James and Kristin Scott Thomas can do Daphne Du Maurier (and Sharon herself) justice in Netflix's latest assault on the film worl...

With the postponement of No Time To Die confirming that Film studios are Greedy Chickens, we have a rant about how that has led to recently reopening cinemas closing again, possibly for good. Shaun and Sharon was (a possibly final) goodbye to Cineworld on the Isle of Wight by watching Schemers, Saint Maud, Bill and Ted face the Music and Tenet. And we wonder what the hell we are going to talk abou...

Today's existential question, if Cinemas are back but there is nothing new to watch, does it matter is Cinemas are back at all? We wrestle with that in a week dominated by Netflix and Friends. As we get to grips with The Social Dilemma, Netflix's latest documentary blockbuster that seems to be complaining about Netflix, Enola Holmes in the latest attempt to de-sausagify the Holmes family, and Find...

Au Revoir Dame Diana Just before we hit record this week, the news broke that Dame Diana Rigg, legend of TV and Film had died. After we hit record, Shaun reminded us of this and we chatted about how she came to our notice, and then stayed there. We also chat the possibility of Cinemas closing again due to tighter COVID restrictions in England, invite film buff Seb Junemann onto the show to save us...
