Screen Watching

With no new series worth chatting about, it's a movie-centric Screen Watching this week, with Dan and Simon watching:
By Any Means (In cinemas)
Mayday (Apple TV)
The Runner (Prime Video)
Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie (In cinemas)
But it isn't a week without TV, with Simon offering a thought on DTF St Louis.

This is awkward. Dan Barrett slams an Aussie TV drama which has co-host Simon Foster appearing in it. But what did Dan think of Simon's performance?
This week the pair review:
The Airport Chaplain (SBS / Netflix)
Dalliance (Paramount+)
Dog Stars (In cinemas)
And more...

Some guy on the internet claimed Lanterns is the new Andor. Maybe that guy is right. Dan dansplains to Simon why he was wrong to be underwhelmed by the new HBO show Lanterns. Simon tells us about the new Jason Statham film Mutiny and takes a Spa Weekend with some funny ladies. Oh, and Dan reports from the hellscape that is Tom & Jerry: Forbidden Compass.

It's a big week for titles we were very excited to check out.
Simon and Dan headed to the cinema to see The End of Oak Street, a throwback to the early 80s Spielberg vibe.
Dan pressed play on Netflix's new adaptation of the iconic Australian book My Brilliant Career. He also previews upcoming HBO drama Lanterns.
Dan and Simon also checked out the directors cut re-edit of The X-Files: Vrach Frankenshteyn. The big mystery with this one is where to find it.

This week on the podcast, Simon makes some crazy box office claims for Teen Sex and Death at Camp Miasma while sunning in North Queensland for a UFO convention. Meanwhile Dan is left behind in Sydney where he is reviewing Sterling Point, a surprisingly great YA drama series on Prime Video.
There's also some chatter on season four of Ted Lasso, returning this week on Apple TV.
