    • The Film Show - 05/05/2021 - New To Streaming & Netflix Favourites
      Get your flatmates round and break open the microwave popcorn for our streaming special! We're in the studio and over Skype for a lovely little episode on some films released to streaming over during lockdown: Palm Springs & Love and Monsters! We're also chatting about School of Rock & Do The Right Thing which you can watch right now on Netflix (as you absolutely should).

      Bill Murray & Andie MacDowell or Andy Samberg & Cristin Milioti? Who wins in the battle of the time-loop twosomes? Why does Love and Monsters make the apocalypse seem so much fun? Join us for reviews of two pretty high concept films with a surprising amount of heart! Does School of Rock still hold up? Of course, because School of Rock is way hardcore!

      The audio should be much better in this though there are a couple of Skype hiccups but they're very minor so I hope you have as much fun listening as we did making it!

      Hope you enjoy!
