The latest episode of A Friendly Film Take pits Film News Blitz co-founders Dan Lawrence and Simon Wilkes together for a friendly film discussion.
The duo discuss some of the latest film topics across the big and small screen.
Roses and a trio of big Netflix releases take centre stage in their friendly film chat.
Reviewing ‘Roses’
One of the big topics for Dan and Simon is the former’s trip to the Southampton Showcase cinema to watch Roses with his wife and fellow A Friendly Film Take podcaster Eden.
Dan revels in the incredible performances from stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman in a dark comedy depicting the events of a warring married couple.
Netflix is making big swings
After confirming he’s a stickler for Netflix film viewing, Simon is the perfect person for Dan to discuss three new trailers from the legendary streamer.
Wake Up Dead Man, the latest in writer/director Rian Johnson’s Knives Out murder mysteries, brings up another stellar ensemble cast to join Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc this November.
Elsewhere, Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow’s A House of Dynamite is the latest in a long line of political thrillers to thrust the USA into an apocalyptic situation.
Will A House of Dynamite bring Netflix its long-awaited Best Picture Oscar following its release in October?
And finally, Dan and Simon look into a Matt Damon/Ben Affleck team-up movie in The Rip, an intriguing police thriller due to land on Netflix in January.
