I'm joined by colour commentator Corrina Mabey this week as we move into a new era for The Commentary Booth. Moving forward each episode will focus on only 1 topic, allowing us to go deeper with our conversation before we give you our individual ratings.

Our rating scale is a 5-point scale & is the same scale as used on Pario written reviews. Under the Pario gem scale each score means the following:

Terrible, avoid at all costs

Meh, watch if you can't find anything else

Fine, mindless mid-week viewing

Great, perfect weekend viewing

Brilliant, watch immediately & put your phone away

To kick start this new era Corrina & I decided to watch Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical on Netflix, so let's dive into our review.

This week on The Commentary Booth, I'm joined by colour commentator Jaxon & we're feeling a little mysterious.

During today's episode, we review The White Lotus before then jumping across to do a Knives Out refresher to help get everyone ready for Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.

This week Jamie is joined by colour commentator Blake Robinson to review two very different films, each of which explores a dark time in history. 

First up is Will Smith's Apple TV+ exclusive, Emancipation.

Telling the triumphant story of Peter (Will Smith), a man who escapes from slavery, relying on his wits, unwavering faith and deep love for his family to evade cold-blooded hunters and the unforgiving swamps of Louisiana on his quest for freedom. The film is inspired by the 1863 photos of “Whipped Peter,” taken during a Union Army medical examination, that first appeared in Harper’s Weekly. One image, known as “The Scourged Back,” which shows Peter’s bare back mutilated by a whipping delivered by his enslavers, ultimately contributed to growing public opposition to slavery.

Following that we're going to return to the world of Pinocchio with a review of Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio on Netflix.

Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro reinvents the classic story of Pinocchio, a wooden puppet brought to life, in this stunning stop-motion musical tale.
