Welcome back to CineMates, where Jake and Mike clearly need help and motivation to continue with their journey down HBO's The Idol, and enlist fashion expert Madeline Barnes to help discuss the memed E2 "Double Fantasy". They then dive into the newest season of Netflix's "Black Mirror" before Jake goes on a rant on why Black Mirror just isn't the same anymore.

Welcome to the first episode of Cinemates, where hosts Jake and Mike take a deep dive into all things cinema. Featuring two full-time hosts and a revolving door of guests, Cinemates promises to take an honest and entertaining look into the newest TV Shows and Films in a new golden age of cinema era. 

In Episode One, the hosts digest whatever the heck TV put out with The Idol - the newest and sexy (?) HBO show created by Abel 'The Weeknd' Tesfaye and Sam Levinson (Euphoria). The two go over what they liked (spoilers: not a lot!) and why exactly the show is NOT hitting just one episode in.

Elsewhere, Jake surprises Mike that the Borderlands movie is somehow a thing, and tells him who's in the cast. 

The show ends with Jake giving Mike his top 10 movies of the year so far, and tries to convince him that the superhero genre is very much alive, while giving you and him his must watch movie of the week!
