Iron Lung Vs The Muppet show

7 hours ago

Welcome to another episode of Netflix vs. Cinema, the show where we ask the ultimate question: Big stream or big screen? Hosts Tosin, Sean, Sharon, and Holly dive into this week’s hottest releases to see whether they are worth a trip to the cinema or a cozy night on the couch.

This week, we debate the award season buzz surrounding the Hamnet adaptation and the Jason Statham action-thriller Shelter. We also review the unique, atmosphere-driven sci-fi film Iron Lung and discuss the surprising revival of The Muppet Show on Disney Plus. Finally, the team shares their thoughts on the powerful grief drama H is for Hawk.

Is Netflix killing cinemas? Each week we weigh up what we've seen in cinemas with what we've watched online at home and figure out which provided the best time. At least, we did before COVID jumped in and declared Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney + and friends the winner.
