    In this episode of Netflix vs. Cinema, Tosin and Holly dive deep into the glorious abyss of cinematic misfires, sharing their hilarious, irreverent, and sometimes shocking takes on the worst films ever made—and why we can't look away.But it’s not just trash talking. You'll discover why Hacks season five is a masterclass in sharp comedy, how Doc unexpectedly becomes a feel-good hero in medical storytelling, and the surprisingly rich storytelling behind Margot's Got Money Troubles. Plus, a wild ride through documentaries about Michael Jackson and the questionable joys of low-budget cinema, where every frame screams "I know I’m bad, and I love it." Holly even shreds through her guilty pleasures, revealing her guilty obsession with Slaxx (killer jeans and Bollywood dance-offs included) and Troll (with a history of questionable sequels and green food 'turning people into trolls'). This episode contains a celebration of everything in cinema that’s so bad it’s brilliant—an ode to the courage of filmmakers who embrace their flaws in the most hilarious ways. With a dash of personal stories, detailed breakdowns, and a healthy dose of nostalgia, Tosin and Holly remind us that sometimes, the worst movies teach us the most about ourselves—and about how deeply we love film, in all its crazy forms.Whether you’re a cinephile craving obscure gem debates or just in need of some side-splitting, off-the-rails banter, this episode will leave you laughing, curious, and maybe even inspired to seek out that hidden “so bad it’s good” masterpiece. Hit play now and find out why embracing the terrible is just as vital as chasing the greatness.

    The Devil Wears Prada 2 VS Imperfect Women

    Is your living room sofa calling your name, or is it time for a trip to the cinema? Tosin and Holly are back for a quick-fire episode of Netflix vs. Cinema to help you decide where to spend your entertainment budget this week! This week, the fashion world takes over the big screen as the long-awaited sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2, struts into theaters. We’ll discuss how Meryl Streep’s legendary Miranda Priestly adapts to a modern, post-cancel-culture landscape and whether Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs can still balance high fashion with serious journalism. Plus, we dive into the star-studded cameos—from Gisele Bündchen to Rory McIlroy—and that catchy soundtrack everyone is buzzing about. On the streaming side: Imperfect Women (Apple TV+): Holly breaks down this gripping mystery starring Elizabeth Moss, Kerry Washington, and Kate Mara. We explore the complex, flawed friendships at the heart of the show and debate whether a weekly release schedule is "total torture" or a brilliant way to build suspense. Doc (Now TV): Tosin shares his first impressions of this medical drama. The Big Debate: Elizabeth Moss: Can she actually "do happy" on screen, or is she destined to be the queen of the "sad and mopy" roles? Stanley Tucci: We discuss his performance and the noticeable change in his voice following his health battles. Theater vs. Home: Is The Devil Wears Prada 2 worth the cinema experience (and the "Everyman" burgers), or should you wait for it to hit your favorite streaming app? Join the conversation! Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube @NetflixVSCinemaPod to share your thoughts on this week’s picks. Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your pods!
