Our Quarantine Collection continues with this overview of Amazon Prime, featuring a review of their newest original film, Blow The Man Down, which spurs one of the more substantive conversations we’ve had since the shutdown. Of course, our cabin fever raged throughout the discussion, especially during our preamble where we bring you up to speed on all the latest news in the entertainment world.

So as we’ve done throughout this collection, you get a schmattering of news stories. We comment about how NATO, the National Association Of Theater Owners pleaded with congress for a relief bill and what their CEO & President had to say about the various new home premiere options. Netflix also purchased The Lovebirds with Issa Rae & Kumail Nanjiani, and we analyze if this was a one-off or perhaps something that will continue.

After a segment about many of the streaming options available on Amazon Prime Video, including the films we’ve reviewed as OSP’s from The Big Sick to The Farewell, or as Movie Events like Midsommar. We give you our series recommendations like Fleabag & The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and we include an audience recommendation as well.

Then as always, you get a non-spoiler review followed by a spoiler warning for this episode’s featured film, Blow The Man Down. Perhaps it’s our cabin fever at work when we nitpicked more than usual, but you do get a full dissection of this movie with all the many bests & worsts from Prime Video’s latest release.

Please take a few moments to leave us a 5 star rating on Apple Podcasts, and we thank you for your support. Moreover, if you enjoyed the show, check out our most recent playlist, our “Quarantine Collection” featuring reviews of Lost Girls, Big Time Adolescence, & The Banker.
