Screen Watching

Dan stops by Crystal Lake and discovers a sad, murderous mommy who has some hidden secrets in her past that we never knew about in the movie(s).
He also talks about The Diplomat.
Where is co-host Simon Foster this week? The restraining order is working.

Some themes are thrust upon you and this week we couldn't be happier reviewing shows and movies that are taking on big tech with The Social Reckoning and Cupertino our main focus of attention this week.
But we do have a whole lot more to discuss this week. The full rundown:
The Social Reckoning (in cinemas)
Cupertino (CBS / Paramount+ - US)
Matchbox: The Movie (Apple TV)
Other Mommy (In cinemas)
Below (Netflix)
Get Jiro! (HBO Max)

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:
