    300. Eternity VS Delhi Crime; Kill Bill The Whole Bloody Affair VS All The Empty Rooms

    Is the cinema experience still king, or is streaming taking over the throne? In this episode of the Netflix vs. Cinema podcast, host Tosin (from Bromsgrove, UK) and London correspondent Holly Nesline dive deep into the latest theatrical releases and streaming gems to find out where your time and money are best spent. In This Episode: At the Cinema: We review the high-concept sci-fi rom-com Eternity , starring Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller, and Callum Turner . Tosin breaks down the film’s unique depiction of the afterlife and why it’s a "top-level rom-com" you need to see before it leaves theaters. Box Office Giants: We discuss the massive global success of Zootropolis 2 (Zootopia 2) and why its half-billion-dollar opening weekend is keeping it on the big screen well through the holidays. Must-Watch Streaming: Holly shares a glowing 5-star review for the gritty Indian crime series Delhi Crime on Netflix. We discuss the show's evolution across three series, including its powerful portrayal of the 2012 bus case and its exploration of sex trafficking. The Tarantino Cut: Resident expert Sean gives his take on Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair . Is the four-hour extended cut a "whole new film," or just for die-hard fans? Documentary Spotlight: Sharon introduces All the Empty Rooms , a "quietly devastating" short documentary by Steve Hartman and Lou Bopp that explores the lasting impact of school shootings through the rooms left behind. The Industry Shift: We also debate the changing landscape of film distribution, including Apple and Netflix moving into theatrical spaces and the rumors surrounding Netflix’s potential acquisition of Warner Bros.
