Screen Watching

Boy, is it a week of TV and movies to talk about. But first, Dan confesses to his mortality concerns with Sydney's moth swarms (yes, really). Then it's on to the good stuff:
Carrie (Prime Video): Mike Flanagan turns Stephen King's debut novel into an eight-episode series, with Summer H. Howell as Carrie White and Samantha Sloyan as her mother.
East of Eden (Netflix): Florence Pugh plays Cathy Ames in Zoe Kazan's seven-part adaptation of John Steinbeck's novel.
Digger (in cinemas now): Tom Cruise and director Alejandro G. Iñárritu team up for a satirical black comedy about an energy tycoon who has to save the world from a disaster of his own making. What even is this movie about?

Simon is underwhelmed by the new Brad Pitt and a dog movie Heart of The Beast, while Dan is wildly enthused by the new Sharon Horgan HBO comedy Youth.
The two also chat a bit about the new movie Her Private Hell and new TV shows American Hostage (MGM+), Line of Fire (NBC), A Different World (Netflix), and Brothers (AppleTV).

If you thought Dan would have a positive word to say about Coyote Vs ACME, you don't know Dan. Meanwhile, Simon took a look at the big film of the week: Resident Evil.
There's also some chatter about:
Runner | In cinemas
Shaun The Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom | In cinemas
The Weight | In cinemas
Forgotten Island | In cinemas
