Ep469: Netflix is My Name!

Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast and Keeping it Reel's David Fowlie talk about the shifting cinematic landscape with a look at two brand-new Netflix films, Dolemite is My Name and The Irishman!

Craig Brewer's biopic of blaxploitation icon Rudy Ray Moore debuted on the streaming service last week, and it's a powerful dramedy showcase for the likes of Eddie Murphy and Wesley Snipes.

Martin Scorsese's The Irishman will see a limited theatrical release this weekend before landing on Netflix at the end of the month. Robert DeNiro stars as a hitman who faces mortality, loneliness, and Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino) in a sprawling, three-and-a-half-hour crime epic.

Ian and David get deep into both films (i.e spoilers ahead), and discuss Netflix's evoluion from discs-in-the-mail service to Oscar-worthy studio.

Episode 469 belongs on the big screen!
