  3. #20. The Best Film of 2021 (So Far) ft. Anna Bogutskaya - Promising Young Woman vs. Nomadland vs. Judas & The Black Messiah

    #20. The Best Film of 2021 (So Far) ft. Anna Bogutskaya - Promising Young Woman vs. Nomadland vs. Judas & The Black Messiah

    We’re almost halfway through 2021 (even though it has felt much, MUCH longer) so in the final episode of the series, Jack Howard is challenging Joe Ikhinwmin, Clarisse Loughrey and film critic Anna Bogutskaya to convince him which film is the best of the year so far. Who will come out on top between Judas And The Black Messiah, Nomadland and Promising Young Woman? Clarisse believes the Oscars finally got it right and that Nomadland really is the best picture, but Joe found it boring and prefers Judas And The Black Messiah because of how eye-opening and relevant it is to today’s issues. Anna meanwhile loves Promising Young Woman for many reasons, including the meta-casting of ‘nice-guy’ actors in more sinister roles. Who do you think will win? Join us next week for a BONUS episode of The Screen Test where we look ahead to what films we're most looking forward to for the rest of 2021.

    #19 The Best Monster Movie Ever ft. Cyber Nerd Mr. Blitztek | Alien vs. Jurassic Park vs. King Kong

    Sam from The Cyber Nerds joins Jack Howard, Clarisse Loughrey and Joe Ikhinmwin to debate who the apex predator of cinema is between the Xenomorph from Alien, Jurassic Park's T-Rex and King Kong. Sam thinks Peter Jackson's King Kong is the best iteration of the creature because of how Andy Serkis' motion capture brought the oversized ape to life, H.R Geiger's bio-mechanical design of the Xenomorph is what stands out for Clarisse, and Joe thinks every scene featuring the T-Rex in Jurassic Park is iconic. What monster do you want to win? Sound off in the comments below. Next week, film critic Anna Bogutskaya joins The Screen Test to discuss the best films of 2021 so far.
