9 hours ago

Welcome back to another episode of Netflix vs. Cinema, where we help you decide if your hard-earned cash belongs in the movie theater or stays at home on the couch. This week, host Tosin is joined by Shaun Harris , Sharon Bollen , and Holly Nessling to catch up on the latest releases and the fallout from a major awards night.

On the Big Screen

The crew heads to the cinema for a mixed bag of thrills and satire:

How to Make a Killing : Glenn Powell and Margaret Qualley star in this remake of the 1940s classic Kind Hearts and Coronets . The crew debates the film's pacing and predictability.
Good Boy (a.k.a. HEEL) : Shaun dives into a secret screening of this bizarre thriller about an attempt to "rehabilitate" a wayward young man. It features extreme character work from Stephen Graham.
Hoppers : Tosin catches up with Pixar’s latest—a "mental" adventure involving a robot beaver, a shark, and a voice cameo from Meryl Streep.

On the Stream

Fallout Season 2 (Amazon Prime) : Shaun reports back on the latest journey through the wasteland. We discuss the retro-futuristic aesthetic, the war between factions in Vegas, and why a specific "Elvis" episode had us in hysterics.
The War Machine (Netflix) : Sharon dives into the newest Alan Ritchson vehicle—a "muscular" action flick that feels like Jack Reacher vs. Aliens .
Wonderman (Disney+):

The Oscar Rundown

The crew vents their frustrations over the recent Oscar wins. While One Battle After Another took home Best Picture, the team remains firmly in the corner of the "objective genius" of Sinners. Plus, we celebrate wins for Michael B. Jordan, Jessie Buckley, and Amy Madigan.

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. At least, we did before COVID jumped in and declared Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney + and friends the winner.
