The Spanish dystopian sci-fi satire The Platform has been set for a Netflix release for a while. The streaming giant bought the distribution rights when the movie made its US premiere at Fantastic Fest in September 2019, and the plan was always to release it sometime in 2020. But at that stage no one could have predicted how horribly apt the release of a movie in which isolation and food shortage play a key part of the plot would be in March 2020.Like many of the best dystopian sci-fi movies--from

Millions are off work or working from home, and quite a few of them have found a lot of extra time on their hands and not much to do with it.

Shaun of the Dead is an incredibly popular comedy movie starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. The film parodies the famous zombie film Dawn Of The Dead, poking fun at the idea of how an average British guy deals with a viral outbreak and the snowball effect it can have on society. Pretty topical right now, huh?Many iconic quotes and scenes came from the film, one of which is ‘The Plan’ scene, where in the group of survivors brainstorm what the plan will be and how they are going to

Recently, a Chrome extension came along called Netflix Party, and it allows you to watch Netflix content with friends, at the same time, without having to be in the same room.
