Netflix vs Cinema

We kick off this weeks Podcast by remembering Chadwick Boseman, a man who delivered some great cinemati moments and promised more only to be brought down by life happening. To our Marshall, Jackie, James, T'challa, you will be missed. We waited 6 months for Cinemas to come back, nothing compared to The New Mutants who waited 2 years to even get a chance of being in Cinemas. Tosin and Shaun find ou...

The Saviour of Cinema is here If you believe the hype, Tosin goes to watch TENET, and ends up with an existential question, 'Can you truly spoil something if you do not know what is going on?' , Shaun goes against his better judgement and takes one for the team with Spree, Sharon stays at home and catches up with Robert De Niro and John Travolta in Killing Season. get in touch at www.twitter.com/n...

At Home, Tosin arrives late to the Killing Eve Party, Sharon catches up with a show that shows no signs of dying in F...

THe Second week of Cinemas being back is here and Shaun is as happy as a pig in the proverbial. Spending more time in the Cinema this week with Gandalf and friends than Tosin spent at Work. After last week's heady excitement, Shaoron slows down with a thoughtful french Drama in The Last Wave, and Tosin is just here to press the buttons as he managed a whole week without seeing anything.

Cinemas are back, like honest to goodness back, like not saying 'we will open again soon when Christopher Nolan decides to release Tenet' but 'actually book a seat and come watch a film in a darkened room' back. And we are reasonably excited. Shaun goes Beast Mode (does he know any other mode)and lives in the cinema for a week, seeing Russell Crowe in Unhinged, Eva Green in Proxima, and some old f...

As Cinemas (Cineworld at least) prepare to actually reopen their doors and honest to goodness show new films on the big screen, we have Wale Awelenje on who talks about how much missing Cinemas has been hard to take, how his first cinema experience left him saying 'E.T. phone home' for weeks, and how much he's looking forward to seeing Natasha Romanov leading the line. In other news, Sharon watche...

We welcome 'entertainment executive' (we're not sure what he does, but it sounds important) Jejuan Guillory again and he shines a shameful light on Tosin's knee jerk reaction to Revenge of the Sith, and answers so many questions that a separate podcast will be made.

In other news, Sharon actually watches and reviews so...

We're Back!! After a month of mourning and wondering if you can still have a show called 'Netflix VS Cinema' when there is no Cinema, We decided to come back. Mainly as part of out lockdown therapy, and also to celebrate Cinema like a fallen opponent who put in a good fight. Talk Ranges from what Shaun has found in his Childhood bedroom, watching Communist chinese propaganda films on Facebook, Sha...

Farewell to Cinema As Cinemas go into their inevitable shutdown, we talk about what the last things we saw at the cinema was. Shaun planned a special evening to say goodbye (of course he did).

We talk the films in the title line.

56th episode, on with we talk Steve Coogan in Greed and Tosin has a bit of a rant that stops short of mentioning the words 'white', 'privilege' and 'saviour' (at least not close to each other), Agatha Christie being as awesome as Sharon thinks Rufus Sewell's cheekbones are in The Pale Horse (to be fair, shes right), Robert Downey Jr being welsh in Dolittle, Internet Cat killer hunters being vigila...
