Netflix vs Cinema

In a week in which we actually some films in the Cinema to see, We get a little to liberal with our timing while waiting for Shaun to reappear, talk Blinded by the light, Tosin points out older women he fancies in the smorgasbord that is Otherhood, Sharon subjects herself to what passes for teenage girl entertainnment these days to see if The Sun is also a Star can rise above it's terrible title,...

There's nothing, and we mean NOTHING, in Cinemas, so Angry Birds 2 is left to fly the Flag against Highly anticipated Amazon Prime show The Boys and Norman Reedus on a hog. If you don't like seeing Road kill, look away now.

With Shaun in Thailand, Sharon and Tosin hold down the fort.

Recorded on the Isle of Wight, Shaun heard Tosin was coming and legged it to the Mainland. Tosin and Sharon ask if it looks like a lion, talks like a lion and sings like a Lion, is it any good.

Tosin flat out refuses to watch Midsommar (or any other film for that matter), regardless of what Shaun says, Sweet kind natured Sharon finds a film that just makes her go ... 'No'. And we have an also-rans section (films we have decided to not put into the main rounds for a variety of reasons) that is arguably better than the films in the main rounds.

This week, we apologise for not getting our butts in line to record anything and offer a episode of a previous podcast we recorded (the link to which you can find below) https://they-don-t-make-em-like-they-used-to-movie-nostalg.pinecast.co/episode/614e6349230640f9/69-performance-they-shoot-horses-don-t-they-pitch-black-slade-in-flame Support Netflix vs Cinema by contributing to their tip jar: htt...

Much confusion over films that have the same name but are released in different years, Tosin gets misty eyed about the Spiderman of his Youth, Shaun gets emotional about space launches of his youth, and Sharon gets a bit dewey eyed about Yesterday.

After a week off , we are back. A bit like the stars of the kick off cinema choice Toy story 4, we time travel with See you Yesterday, Go cerebral with Jesse Eisenberg in the Hummingbird Project, Shaun gets a bad batch of recommendations in ... The Bad Batch. Tosin goes self spotting while revisiting Maen In Black, Sharon revisits the sweary, teary town of Deadwood, and We all try and decipher Die...

This was supposed to be a week off, by we couldn't help ourselves, snuck a spare episode in there and chatted Emma Thompson being awesome in Late Night, The gem that Netflix has unearthed in I am Mother, Evil Superman in Brightburn, and some real life horror in Chernobyl.

Shaun and Tosin play Grumpy old men and try to one up each other with 'AND ANOTHER THING!!...' comments while reviewing Dark Phoenix, what is hopefully, thankfully the swansong of the Non-MCU XMEN, We all get bowled over by Ali's Wedding (spoiler alert, we loved it) Shaun goes to see a movie marketed as a bit of a horror and doesn't hate it, Sharon can only imagine what it will be like when Shaun...

We finally have our say on Game of Thrones Season 8. With surprisingly no spoilers. We start a sections for also rans, as we don't have enough time to delve into everything we watch each week. A film finally makes Sharon sound unenthusiastic, Shaun gets massively dissappointed by a massive lizard, While feeling sorry for him, Tosin nods smugly as he predicted it, and Friend of the Show Peter Jenki...

Back in the room After our newly instigated fallow period, we come back to Discuss whether the John wick-verse should keep going, How Guy Ritchie fares in Agrabah with Aladdin, and Shaun sees if there is any chance that the Curse of La Llorona is worth his time. On Netflix, Sharon catches Swimming with Men which she totally missed in the Cinema, Tosin finally gets to watch Glenn Close be brilliant...

In this extra episode,We decide we can't let Avengers Endgame swan off without discussing in depth the things that made us go Whoa!!, What?!! and Hmm? So we get our SPOILERS ON, and go into in. And regular listener and friend of the Show Nina pops up for a chat about the film as well.

Football Crashes in Sharon tries to humour Tosin, but is ultimately having none of it, We're here to talk about films, for goodness sake. We cover Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen in Long Shot, Nicholas Hoult in Tolkien and Eight Grade gives Shaun PTSD flashbacks from raising a daughter. On the Netflix home entertainment side of things, Sharon states The Case for Christ, Tosin finally catches up wit...

We're in the Endgame now We struggle to find any contenders to go up against the absolute world devouring, oxygen hogging behemoth that is Avengers : Endgame, and we found one plucky, brave ... rabbit. We impressively keep this totally spoiler free and even find time for that other cultural touch stone, Game of Thrones Season 8, episode 3 (The Long night, The Battle of Winterfell, whachamacallit)....

Waiting for the Endgame... Recorded a few hours before Avengers Endgame was unleashed upon an entirely suspecting and expectant world, we have a look at the films that decided to nip into cinemas just before so there is at least a chance they get some attention. Once again on the Isle of Wight in the Cinema that Tosin, Sharon and Shaun first met in. Shaun marvels at the other side of Angelina Joli...

Because Everyone is talking about it, we start off talking about Man City vs Tottenham, Once that's out of the way, we get to discussing Donald Glover and Rhianna on Guava Island, Stanley Tucci and Kiernan Shipka being in the unfortunate wake of A Quiet Place, David Harbour in Hellboy. And Shaun makes some shocking admissions of well loved actors who do nothing for him.

In addition to reviewing Zachary Levi in DC's latest big screen outing, Sharon takes us biblical with Easter coming up, and we review every single episode of Netflix's Love, Death and Robots. Shaun waxes on about seeing A Clockwork Orange on the big screen the way GOD (or at least Stanley Kubrick, who arguably though he was God) intended, Tosin seizes another uninvited opportunity to talk about Th...

This week we have the honour of measuring a modern day Disney remake with original vintage Disney, only one Elephant makes it out alive. Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson make their Netflix original bow in the Highwaymen. Us has Shaun scratching his head and questioning his tastes. Jane Fonda and Robert Redford make Tosin Swoon, and despite his best judgement, Shaun watches a Jason Clarke film.

Ten shows in, we all finally end up in the same room, the same, noisy, noisy room we all first met each other in. Joining us are guest reviewers, Xeb, Steve, Pete and Dan brings us a Shudder review of Dead Wax. Hang around till the end, there's a bring old Ding dong about Captain Marvel after Shaun's 'HULK SMASH!!!' performance last week. Enjoy Support Netflix vs Cinema by contributing to their ti...

Ignoring the fact that our episode title sounds like a weird wrestling match that some people would pay a lot of money to watch, We have a rather heated discussion about Captain Marvel (well Shaun gets heated anyway), the 21st movie in the MCU. As every other movie runs scared from it, we only put it up against Juliet, Naked, which Sharon managed to catch on a home entertainment service that (Shoc...

In the Week when Steven Spielberg is spoiling for a fight with Netflix, he sets off a fight within our normally peacful ranks. In between discussing who thinks Spielberg has a point and who thinks he's in danger of saying 'I don't like it, It's new' we actually manage to review some films.

After a week away, we're back in the wake of the Oscarstalking about where we think the Academy bottled it and where they got it right. In the Cinema, we watch Liam Neeson get revengy in Cold Pursuit, Mark wahlberg be Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne be awesome in Instant Family, and The Rock face off against Florence Pugh in Fighting with my Family. On Netflix, We catch up with a 'very clearly retire...

One of those 'Nothing in Cinema' weeks. We catch The Lego Movie 2, Then the Hordes of Netflix attck in the shape of Joel Kinnaman with someone elses mind, a wolf with Peter Mullan's face, and two Korean actresses that Tosin and Shaun struggle to tell apart (yeah, we can hear human resources calling us in too, and we would willingly go)

Shaun hyperventilates about Korean zombies, Sharon fights to watch the TV in her own home, Tosin talks Dragons and not beliving what he is watching actually happened, and we all have a love in about Melissa McCarthy
