Welcome to the first episode of Cinemates, where hosts Jake and Mike take a deep dive into all things cinema. Featuring two full-time hosts and a revolving door of guests, Cinemates promises to take an honest and entertaining look into the newest TV Shows and Films in a new golden age of cinema era. In Episode One, the hosts digest whatever the heck TV put out with The Idol - the newest and sexy (?) HBO show created by Abel 'The Weeknd' Tesfaye and Sam Levinson (Euphoria). The two go over what they liked (spoilers: not a lot!) and why exactly the show is NOT hitting just one episode in.Elsewhere, Jake surprises Mike that the Borderlands movie is somehow a thing, and tells him who's in the cast.
