Episode 423 - The Breaker Upperers (2018) 02/27/2019 Hi everyone! Here’s the third Netflix Original film for this post-Oscars week, once again from yours truly. It’s our first film that’s exclusively from the New Zealand film scene for the podcast, although not the first New Zealand film I’ve seen. I should probably have had Shane Hyde do this review, come to think of it. Maybe he would have liked it more. For a few other Netflix Original comedies in the same vein, check out “The Polka King” (Episode #013), “A Futile & Stupid Gesture” (Episode

Episode 422 - High Flying Bird (2019) 02/26/2019 Hi everyone! Here’s the second Netflix Original film for the week, and the first to be a runaway hit with the critics. It’s hard not to do that when you pair the writing styles of Tarell Alvin McCraney, screenwriter for “Moonlight” (Episode #406), with the directing ability of Steven Soderbergh, of which we’ve reviewed two films so far: “Logan Lucky” (Episode #065) and “Unsane” (Episode #240). And for another film in the same vein, check out “Amateur” (Episode #103), about a pre-professional

Episode 421 - High Society (2018) 02/25/2019 Hi everyone! Here’s the first of four Netflix Original films this week, reviewed by yours truly. Today’s film was another surprise release by Netflix in late January, which I only found while browsing the new releases section. I actually thought it was the South Korean television drama also entitled “High Society”, but it only shares the title with this South Korean film drama. For a few other Netflix Originals from South Korea, check out “Forgotten” (Episode #062), “Steel Rain” (Episode #087),
