The Hopscotch Friday Podcast

Hopscotch Friday is an informed and impassioned pop culture binge. What does that mean? Well, it means we’ll review stuff and give you a good idea of what’s good, what’s bad, and what’s probably worth a cheeky watch anyway. Importantly, we also give you the *why*. Online we mostly focus on movies and DVDs. But we also like music, games, telly, comics…you name it. If you like what you hear, give us a shout at hopfriday@gmail(.com). Join Stevie and Emmet O'Cuana each week for a bit of pop culture pillow talk.

Netflix is changing not only how we watch films and television - through its commissioning of original content, the streaming service is raising the bar by introducing a diverse range of content. 

Stevie and Emmet discuss how Netflix is changing the game with its revenue model - and review the CW co-production Riverdale and Scott Aukerman's surreal variety show Michael Bolton's Big, Sexy Valentine's Day Special

Riverdale

It's already late-February so let's get this over with. Stevie and Emmet list their most anticipated films of 2017, and say why they're looking forward to them.

Unsurprisingly, there's some overlap! Combined, the list includes Anna Biller's The Love Witch, Danny Boyle's T2: Trainspotting, Taika Waititi's Thor: Ragnarok, Blade Runner 2049, Luc Besson's Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets and Edgar Wright's Baby Driver. Oh, and Logan somehow manages a reference in there too!

Posters for Silence and The Family

 

Stevie and Emmet ponder how to recommend films that need to be watched, but may not be of general interest, specifically Martin Scorsese's Silence, Rosie Jones' The Family and, briefly, Steve Oram's Aaaaaaah!

In Episode 2, Stevie and Emmet talk about movies that make them happy.

After watching Garth Jennings' Sing, twice, the pair discuss other happy movies including The Hudsucker Proxy, Wayne's World, Bringing Up Baby and Edgar Wright's Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
