Since Netflix purchased such a major Oscars contender in Aaron Sorkin’s latest, we had fun with a Netflix Shopping List and created two Top 5’s, and you get previews of a bunch of upcoming films for 2020 & beyond. Then we conclude the episode with a mostly non-spoiler review of the collection of short films, Homemade, where filmmakers like Ladj Ly, Paolo Sorrentino, Rachel Morrison, Pablo Larrain, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Kristen Stewart, Gurinder Chadha, Sebastian Lelio, etc… composed films in quarantine for a 17 part new series on Netflix.
