Rebels! Welcome to the Pride Rewind! Nothing makes more sense than to revisit the one degree of separation between the rebel camp, and Charlie David, than a movie so terrible, it changed the way we recorded. Ten Minutes in, over 30 notes, 5 voice messages, and an IMDb spiral, I couldn't bring myself to press play. So we took a breath, gave it some time, and came back to it, for our first-ever live reaction Audience Watch Along!Mulligans (2008) Written by and Starring Charlie David.  Charlie David spends 92 minutes trying to convince the audience that he's a closeted teen blissfully ignorant to destroying the family of his best friend by sleeping with the father who's only 8 years older than him. Shoehorn some Golf references to justify the title and bam.

Do you wear many hats as a creative artist? How has time management been for you? Are you struggling to keep up trying to be in multiple places at the same time? Producer/ Director Charlie David joins our conversation this week to reiterate that active communication between the production team is a critical element in time management. We need to let them know when we are in a place of "too much" and welcome the conversation from their side too. If you can only give 3 mornings a week for a project, then inform your creative team and make that time count. Charlie reminds us that it's not our turn, all the time. We should honour each other's time, space, and dedication in each project. You can always press pause, figure it out and hopefully come back stronger and better.  In this episode: Integrity is a confidence builder. The importance of actively listening and actively acknowledging having a growth mindset. How a movie or tv series can incite conversations that we often don't talk about. The importance of active communication in time management. We will give our best work when we are nourished and it comes from absorbing creativity in the community.   A little about Charlie: Charlie David has hundreds of hours of television to his credit, predominantly exploring the LGBTQ+ experience. He has been selected as the Canadian Filmmaker in Focus by the Kashish Film Festival in Mumbai, India, an invited guest of the Canadian embassy in South Africa to share his documentary on HIV+ youth, executive produced Beyond Gay: The Politics of Pride, a global look at pride celebrations, and winner of multiple awards including, the HBO Best Doc award at the Miami International LGBT Film Festival.

Charlie and Ashley present a special episode of SWITCHCast, with interviews with Travis Beard, the director of 'Rockabul', and the writer, director and star of 'Thunder Road', Jim Cummings.InterviewsTravis Beard is an Aussie who lived in Afghanistan for seven years. As a music lover, he was also fascinated by Kabul’s music culture - or lack of. Imagine your favourite genre - pop, rock, R&B, country - well, there’s a good chance it’s shunned there, and potentially punishable by death. Travis befriended a group of locals who formed District Unknown, Afghanistan’s first heavy metal band. He followed their growth, from their genuinely terrible first performance through to their international success - and that footage formed the documentary ‘Rockabul’. Charlie spoke to travis ahead of the film’s Australian release.▸ More of Charlie's interview with Travis▸ Read Charlie's review of 'Rockabul'▸ For more information on screenings and Q&A's, visit 'Rockabul's' Facebook pageCharacter studies on struggling male protagonists are a dime a dozen, but none in recent memory have captured the hearts of audiences quite like 'Thunder Road’.

Charlie, Jess, Daniel and Jake discuss the week's films, Daniel speaks to the director of 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society' Mike Newell about the making of the film, and we join the battle between Netflix and Hollywood's heavyweights as the streaming service's feud with Cannes Film Festival divides opinions.Reviews▸ The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (0:42)▸ I Am Not A Witch (7:40)▸ Super Troopers 2 (8:23)▸ The Song Keepers (17:11)▸ I Feel Pretty (18:52)Trailers▸ Hot Summer Nights (26:26)▸ Mary Shelley (30:20) - you can also read Jake's 'Mary Shelley' review here▸ The Meg (35:21)News▸ The new-school world of movie streaming and the old-school world of movies in theatres are now at war - and at the centre of that war is a feud between Netflix and the Cannes Film Festival. It all kicked off at the end of March, when Cannes announced that Netflix movies would be banned from competing at the festival because of the streamer's refusal to embrace old-fashioned theatrical rollouts. Last week, Netflix announced that it was pulling out of Cannes completely - not just the competitions - to protest the decision. No films with Netflix distribution will play in any section at Cannes this year. This conflict is really about two very different cinema cultures - the French perspective, which sees cinema as a communal experience devoted to an art that is meant to be projected onto a big screen - and the American one, which values choice and individual taste and looks at a movie as something that’s the same no matter the size of the screen and the viewing conditions under which you see it. Now, with an increasing amount of directors, actors and film critics weighing into the Netflix vs Cannes debate... who is right and who is wrong? (40:21)Interview▸ With the release of ‘The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society’ this week, Daniel had the chance to chat with acclaimed director Mike Newell about his experiences making the film, dealing with a relatively unknown moment in the history of the Second World War, and to ask him - is a potato peel pie really as bad as it sounds?

Charlie, Jess, Brent and Chris discuss the week's films, follow in Molly Ringwald's footsteps and ask if we can still cherish the films we grew up with when watched with today’s socially sensitive eye, and celebrate Meryl Streep joining the 'Big Little Lies' cast by looking at other Hollywood stars who have made a leap to the small screen.Reviews▸ Isle of Dogs (0:42)▸ Rampage (10:12)▸ Truth or Dare (14:27)▸ The Party (17:57)▸ National Theatre Live: Julius Caesar (24:35)Trailers▸ Night School (25:47)▸ Farenheit 451 (29:10)▸ Johnny English Strikes Again (34:02)News▸ Esteemed director John Hughes' muse, Molly Ringwald, wrote an essay for the New Yorker describing her view of her most famous films and the scenes in them that today, and in light of the #MeToo movement, will now be seen as sexist, misogynistic and homophobic. So it poses the question - should we judge past films by today’s moral standards? (38:13)Click here to read Molly Ringwald's article in the New Yorker.▸ Around a month ago, dogs across Australia had a near-death experience thanks to the piercing sounds of Chris' terrifyingly high-pitched screams in response to the news that Meryl Streep would be joining the cast of 'Big Little Lies' Season 2. With the just released first image of Meryl and Nicole Kidman, AKA two of the greatest living actresses in character in the one frame, we thought we’d celebrate la Streep’s return to television for the first time in over a decade by looking at the big Hollywood names taking the plunge into the golden age of television.

Not a joke, an idea, nor an anonymous user comment in free from offence. But what about film? A recent ABC Australia article suggests that local cinema is pandering of late. With audiences sparse when it comes to Australian movies anyway, is the industry so scared to alienate even a single moviegoer that they’re forcing themselves to make nothing but rehashes of ‘The Castle’ and anything the reflects a quote “politically correct ideology”? (32:21)Interview▸ For the 150th anniversary of the publication of ‘Alice in Wonderland’, Daniel put his obsession with the novel to good use and threw together an article for SWITCH about the history of Alice on film. Well, you can imagine the shrill noises when Melbourne’s Australian Centre for the Moving Image announced their new exhibition ‘Wonderland’, a look at the relationship between the beloved classic and cinema. Daniel went along to check out the exhibition, and had a chance to chat with curator Jess Bram about how it came about.

Charlie, Jess, Daniel and Brent discuss the week's films, look at the dangers of criticism and backlashes for films before audiences have even seen them, and ask whether Australia would benefit from an in-cinema film subscription service.Reviews▸ Pacific Rim Uprising▸ Peter Rabbit▸ Mary Magdalene▸ The Endless▸ The Divine Order▸ Buena Vista Social Club: Adios▸ Earth: One Amazing DayTrailers▸ Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald▸ Eighth GradeNews▸ In the lead-up to its release, social media was awash with people damning Steven Spielberg’s upcoming ‘Ready Player One’ before anyone has even seen it, only for it to receive glowing reviews after its premiere. This practice of ripping a film to pieces en masse based on even just its existence is becoming an even more prevalent trend, in some cases affecting the success of the film on release. So why on earth are we proclaiming a film the antichrist before anyone on the planet has seen the damn thing?▸ Most of us have Netflix, and some of us might even luxuriate in the divine presence of Stan. It’s safe to say that subscription services are on the rise, and have revolutionised the home entertainment market. So what about the out-of-home market? Founded in 2011, Moviepass is a service in the U.S. that lets you see one film a day in the cinema for a mere $9.95 per month - that’s basically less than a single ticket!

Keyboard warriors-slash-geeks immediately had their claws out, objecting to this casting choice with extreme prejudice - however, this is not the first time nor will it be the last that fans have been none-to-happy about those slipping into their favourite characters - only for them to surprise us all and rule the day.

Charlie, Jess, Daniel and Chris discuss the week's films, check out the surprises at this year's BAFTA awards, revisit Oscars history to look at the most shunned movies we love, and ask if our pure imagination is ready for a third incarnation of 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory'.Reviews▸ Game Night▸ Finding Your Feet▸ A Fantastic Woman▸ Winchester▸ 2:22▸ The BBQTrailers▸ Incredibles 2▸ The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society▸ The Breaker UpperersNews▸ Earlier this week, the BAFTA awards brought us to the final step before the Oscars, and the winners were quite predictable - in fact, in a lot of cases, they mirrored what happened with the Golden Globes. We look at the winners and ask whether the Oscars follow suit, or surprise everyone?▸ A recent Indiewire article delved into the greatest films of the 21st century that somehow missed out on a single Oscar nomination in their respective years. Now, with the 90th Academy Awards getting closer and closer, we thought it’d be a fine time to talk about our favourite films and their most infuriating misses.▸ In 1971, audiences were invited to “view paradise” with ‘Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory’ - the first big screen adaptation of the Roald Dahl classic. It was a box office flop, but found its place in our hearts, home movie collections and pure imaginations in the decades that followed. Then in 2005, Tim Burton (and Johnny Depp in an Anna Wintour wig) gave kids a chance to score a golden ticket once again. It was the remake no one wanted or asked for - it made millions, but not the cultural impact of its predecessor. Now it’s 2018, and a third adaptation is in the works, this time helmed by ‘Paddington 2’ director Paul King. It's been 13 years since we’ve visited the Oompa Loompas - is it time to explore the chocolate factory again?Stay Up-To-Datefacebook.com/maketheswitchAUtwitter.com/maketheswitchAUinstagram.com/maketheswitchAUmaketheswitchAU.tumblr.comThe hoststwitter.com/Charlie_Davidtwitter.com/MissJess_SWITCHtwitter.com/DanielLammintwitter.com/ChrisCEdwardsNext week's episode▸ Reviews of 'Red Sparrow', 'The Square' and 'Film Stars Don't Die In Liverpool'For more episodeswww.SWITCHCast.com.au

Charlie, Daniel, Jake and Chris discuss the week's films, take a look at the Mardi Gras Film Festival as it kicks off in Sydney today, discuss whether Netflix's release of 'The Cloverfield Paradox' is game-changing or trickery, and get their nerd on as they reveal their favourite film-related books.Reviews▸ Black Panther▸ Lady Bird▸ Stronger▸ National Theatre Live: Follies▸ Beuys: Art As A Weapon▸ Eric Clapton: Life In 12 BarsTrailers▸ Solo: A Star Wars Story▸ Venom▸ I Feel PrettyNews▸ The 25th Mardi Gras Film Festival kicks off in Sydney today - and this year’s line-up is huge! Running for 15 days, it has something for everyone. For tickets and more info, head to www.queerscreen.org.au.▸ Netflix surprised everyone during the Super Bowl, by announcing the release of the latest ‘Cloverfield’ instalment… and then releasing it at the end of the game. Quality of the film aside, this is (i’m sorry for the pun) game changing, using the franchise to once again redefine the way a film is publicised. So what kind of effect will this unconventional release approach have?▸ All of us here at SWITCH are just a bunch of massive nerds, really, and that takes a surprising amount of work. In one of our recent episodes, Chris cheated in our recommendations by choosing a book rather than a film, so now it's time for a bunch of nerds to choose their favourite books about films for filmmakers or filmmaking - because why just spend hundreds of hours watching films, when you can spend thousands of hours reading about them?Stay Up-To-Datefacebook.com/maketheswitchAUtwitter.com/maketheswitchAUinstagram.com/maketheswitchAUmaketheswitchAU.tumblr.comThe hoststwitter.com/Charlie_Davidtwitter.com/DanielLammintwitter.com/JakeChattytwitter.com/ChrisCEdwardsNext week's episode▸ Reviews of 'A Fantastic Woman', 'Game Night', 'Finding Your Feet' and '2:22'For more episodeswww.SWITCHCast.com.au

How could the outcome affect the Oscars? ▸ Recently, the writers at Indiewire named their top 25 film scores of the 21st century, a list that includes some of the biggest films of the last two decades along with some unexpected surprises. Film music has changed dramatically in the last 17 years, from even richer orchestral scores to experimental work from some of the best music artists in the world.

Charlie, Jess, Brent and Chris discuss the week's films, share their favourite Oscar nominations and the most heinous snubs, and ask whether the Razzies are lighthearted fun or a dated hate ceremony?Reviews▸ Phantom Thread▸ Molly's Game▸ Den Of Thieves▸ Father FiguresTrailers▸ Gurrumul▸ I Kill Giants▸ The Hurricane HeistNews▸ With last week’s announcement of the Oscars nominations and the Oscars themselves a mere 32 days away, there is a veritable pantheon of things to talk about: Netflix has nabbed itself 8 nominations, there have been surprise nominations and even bigger and more shocking snubs. There are campaigns to run and win and hearts to fill and break. So with so much to digest over the next few weeks, let’s take a first bite!▸ With every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore with the Oscar nominations comes the Razzie nominations, with the ceremony to be held the day before the Oscars. Now in its 38th incarnation, what was once a fun tongue-in-cheek anti-Oscars now seems like a vicious attack on easy targets such as the 'Transformers' franchise, the 'Fifty Shades' films, Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson. So is there still a place in the season for the Razzies, or does the award for worst film awards go to the the Golden Raspberries?Comps▸ Win one of ten double passes to attend a special preview screening of National Theatre Live's production of 'Follies'▸ Win one of five copies of 'November Criminals' on Blu-ray▸ Win one of ten double passes to see 'Menashe' in cinemasStay Up-To-Datefacebook.com/maketheswitchAUtwitter.com/maketheswitchAUinstagram.com/maketheswitchAUmaketheswitchAU.tumblr.comThe hoststwitter.com/Charlie_Davidtwitter.com/MissJess_SWITCHtwitter.com/BrentCDavidsontwitter.com/ChrisCEdwardsNext week's episode▸ Reviews of 'Fifty Shades Freed', 'Menashe', 'Happy End' and 'The Wound'For more episodeswww.SWITCHCast.com.au

Charlie, Jess, Brent and Jake discuss the week's films, discuss how actors without a disability are cast in roles that require them to portray one, and ask why 'Black Panther' has become Marvel's fastest-selling movie in history?Reviews▸ The Shape Of Water▸ Maze Runner: The Death Cure▸ The Commuter▸ Swinging Safari▸ Mary And The Witch's Flower▸ The Final YearTrailers▸ Break In▸ Flower▸ The Female BrainNews▸ With the release of ‘The Shape Of Water’, it seems prudent to discuss casting, and how actors without a disability are cast in roles that require them to portray one. Sally Hawkins’ Eliza is mute, relying on American Sign Language to communicate with those around her, and this casting decision has been met with criticism from the deaf community, with notable deaf celebrities like Nyle DiMarco (winner of America’s Next Top Model) talking about how the signs she uses, while correct, aren’t how someone who natively signs would use the language. With technology the way it is and society almost as progressive as we’d like it to be, do we have any excuses to not allow differently abled actors to play their own disability or be cast more often?▸ Marvel’s next highly-anticipated movie, 'Black Panther', which is due to hit Australian movie theatres on February 15, has already broken an impressive record: it is now the number one pre-sale movie in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, toppling the previous record holder, ‘Captain America: Civil War’, which debuted the character. To say Marvel fans are excited for 'Black Panther' is an understatement - but why are ticket sales so high on this instalment?Comps▸ Win one of five copies of 'Battle Of The Sexes' on Blu-ray▸ Win one of ten double passes to see the highly acclaimed 'Sweet Country' in cinemas▸ Win one of five copies of 'Happy Death Day' on Blu-ray▸ Win one of five copies of 'Mother!' on Blu-ray▸ Win one of five copies of 'Blade Runner 2049' on Blu-rayStay Up-To-Datefacebook.com/maketheswitchAUtwitter.com/maketheswitchAUinstagram.com/maketheswitchAUmaketheswitchAU.tumblr.comThe hoststwitter.com/Charlie_Davidtwitter.com/MissJess_SWITCHtwitter.com/BrentCDavidsontwitter.com/JakeChattyNext week's episode▸ Reviews of 'I, Tonya', 'Sweet Country' and 'Faces Places'For more episodeswww.SWITCHCast.com.au

With their very passionate opinions, Daniel and Chris dissect the night's best moments and all of the winners.▸ We all know how the model works: a film is slightly successful (or very successful) and the studios decide to capitalise on this and create a sequel. So now we have 20 'Fast And Furious' movies and a second 'Pacific Rim' film - and now, even the very mediocre ‘Bright’ has been confirmed for a follow-up on Netflix. So why do we keep getting sequels to generally considered bad movies?▸ This week saw the release of a controversial new book about the inside of the White House during Donald Trump’s first year in office.

Casual filmgoers might not know that name, but they’ve been responsible for some of the best films of the past few years, including ‘The Disaster Artist’, ‘The Witch’ and Oscar winner ‘Moonlight’.

The Golden Globe nominations are out now - and we have all the highlights and, of course, the snubs.▸ Alex Garland’s latest directorial feature, ‘Annihilation’, based on the book by Jeff Vandemeer and starring Natalie Portman, has had its global release drastically altered - only being given a traditional “theatrical release” in America, Canada and China, ‘Annihilation’ will be released to the rest of the world on Netflix mere days after it appears in cinemas. So with a seemingly foolproof team, solid source material and huge name in Natalie Portman involved in the film’s creation, why the change? And is this something we can expect more of from Hollywood going forward?▸ It’s getting hot in here - IndieWire have taken it upon themselves to rank the best sex scenes of the 21st century.

This got us thinking - if the worst movie ever made can be beloved by millions, then what other terrible gems are we secretly (or not-so-secretly) loving?▸ Have you ever been in a movie and felt like it’s just dragged on forever? Particularly with Hollywood blockbusters over the past few years, there’s been a misguided notion that people want to go to the movies for a long time, not a good time - with many movies pushing the three hour mark. There’s been a recent effort to reign in those exorbitant run times - but does a tight film make a good film?Comps▸ Win one of five copies of 'Girls Trip' on Blu-ray▸ Win one of five copies of 'The Dark Tower' on Blu-ray▸ Win one of five 'The Lost City Of Z' Blu-ray prize packs▸ Win one of five copies of 'Conor McGregor: Notorious' on Blu-ray▸ Win one of ten double passes to see 'The Secret Scripture' in cinemas▸ Win one of five double passes to see 'Wonder Wheel' in cinemasStay Up-To-Datefacebook.com/maketheswitchAUtwitter.com/maketheswitchAUinstagram.com/maketheswitchAUmaketheswitchAU.tumblr.comThe hoststwitter.com/Charlie_Davidtwitter.com/MissJess_SWITCHtwitter.com/DanielLammintwitter.com/JakeChattyNext week's episode▸ Reviews for 'Wonder Wheel' and 'In This Corner Of The World'For more episodeswww.SWITCHCast.com.au

Charlie, Jess, Daniel and Jake discuss the week's films, debate whether 'Get Out' deserves to be submitted to the Golden Globes comedy category, count down the best cameos of all time, and speak to the writer and director of 'The Butterfly Tree', Priscilla Cameron, about her near-decade long endeavour to bring the film to life.Reviews▸ The Butterfly Tree▸ Better Watch Out▸ Goodbye Christopher Robin ▸ The Teacher▸ Daddy's Home▸ Tulip FeverTrailers▸ The Mercy▸ Deadpool 2▸ RampageNews▸ With the award season starting up, studios are getting their ‘For Your consideration’ campaigns into gear. In a surprise move, Universal have submitted acclaimed horror classic ‘Get Out’ in the comedy category of the Golden Globes, with director Jordan Peele’s approval, causing many people to scratch their heads in confusion. How on earth could the supreme horror film of 2017 possibly be classed as a comedy? And has this happened before?▸ It’s been a few weeks now since the release of ‘Thor: Ragnarok’, and it’s made a gazillion dollars, so it's no spoiler that Matt Damon, Luke Hemsworth and Sam Neill all have hilarious cameos in the film together. Matt Damon is no stranger to awesome cameos, with 'Eurotrip', 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' and a very secretive turn in 'Intersellar', just to mention a few. So what are the greatest cameos seen on the big screen?Interview‘The Butterfly Tree’ is finally in cinemas, after debuting at this year’s Melbourne International Film Festival.

Charlie, Jess, Daniel and Jake discuss the week's films, discus why we still haven't seen a queer superhero character, ask what actors should be erased from films à la Kevin Spacey, and speak to a former spy to sort out the on-screen fact from fiction.Reviews▸ Justice League▸ Lucky▸ The Killing Of A Sacred Deer▸ Blade Of The ImmortalTrailers▸ The Post▸ The Leisure Seeker▸ Game NightNews▸ Amidst the praise being directed at ‘Thor: Ragnarok’, actor Tessa Thompson revealed that she played her character Valkyrie as bisexual. Marvel then confirmed that a scene that makes this more obvious was actually cut from the film. Marvel seemed to think it deserved kudos for including a queer superhero character - but does it? Does revealing this character information after the fact earn them the points for representation, or is this piecemeal offering actually more insulting when you can’t even see this in the final film, especially when Disney have already been woefully guilty of this in the past twelve months?▸ The hits just keep on coming in the wake of the Hollywood sexual assault scandal. Oscar winner Kevin Spacey is the latest to crumble beneath the avalanche of accusations, with Netflix not only cutting ties with the actor, but also cancelling the highly popular series ‘House Of Cards’. Further to this, just five weeks out from release, Ridley Scott has made the extreme decision to replace Spacey from his latest film ‘All The Money In The World’ with fellow Oscar winner Christopher Plummer. This last-minute scramble is a huge gamble for the film as is enters awards season, which makes us reflect on other pictures that have made such dramatic 11th hour changes, and ask if you could erase any actor from a film, what would it be?InterviewTo celebrate the release of 'Atomic Blonde' on home entertainment, Jess was invited to attend Atomic Spy School.

Charlie, Jess, Daniel and Chris discuss the week's films, take a look at the pros and cons of big Hollywood films heading down under, debate whether film or book trilogies are better, and get the lowdown on the Japanese Film Festival from the director, Margarett Cortez.Reviews▸ Murder On The Orient Express▸ Professor Marston And The Wonder Women▸ Conor McGregor: NotoriousTrailers▸ Fifty Shades Freed▸ I, TonyaNews▸ It’s been a great year for filmmaking in Australia - with a record $1.3 billion spent on making movies and TV series for the 2016-17 financial year. We’ve had a big boost from runaway productions like ‘Thor: Ragnarok’, a thriving animation and post-production industry, and original content from local streaming services. With a competitive Australian dollar against the U.S. and great government incentives, isn’t it nice seeing the local film industry doing well while we get a little slice of Hollywood down under?▸ Trilogies are kind of a given these days, every successful film frantically trying to expand itself into a three-part epic whether it was supposed to or not. Research student Kaylin Walker has taken a far more academic look at the trilogy format, and after scouring through Goodreads and IMDb, has come up with a fascinating conclusion: that “movie trilogies get worse, losing favour with each film, while book trilogies secure higher ratings for book two and maintain them for book three.”InterviewThe Japanese Film Festival is in full swing in Australia right now, with audiences across the country flocking to catch a huge range of films.

As the voice of more and more actors lend themselves to this revolution, Weinstein’s name isn’t the only one burning in the flames. These are bad people whose careers and reputations are now ruined - but what of their legacies?

Charlie, Jess, Daniel and Jake discuss the week's films, ask whether modern trailers are spoiling new films, and look at the next phase of cinema that’s just been unveiled in Korea.Reviews▸ The Snowman▸ Home Again▸ Geostorm▸ The Limehouse GolemTrailers▸ Star Wars: The Last Jedi▸ The New Mutants▸ NewnessNews▸ Amidst all the excitement over the trailer for ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’, Daniel was pretty hesitant to actually watch it, partly because the film itself is just around the corner, but mostly because the art of the film trailer has slipped so drastically that many films are ultimately ruined by trailers that insist on revealing too much. ABC Australia’s Paul Verhoeven wrote about the validity of trailers as a marketing tool for major films like ‘The Last Jedi’, and the degree to which they spoil the plot of the impending film. It’s a double-edged sword though, with some blaming the devastating failure of ‘Blade Runner 2049’ at the box office for the ambiguity of a trailer campaign that didn’t reveal enough. So are trailers still something to get excited about, or have they become something to fear?▸ The cinema landscape has once again taken a step toward the future, with Samsung unveiling the first ever commercial cinema LED screen in Korea. At nearly 10.3 metres wide, it “accommodates a variety of theatre configurations while ensuring superior levels of technical performance, reliability and quality.” With the lines between television and cinema blurring more and more with time, is this simply the next step in the inevitable evolution of them becoming one in the same, and how will film purists feel about watching future projects on what is essentially a giant TV screen?Comps▸ Win one of five copies of ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ on Blu-ray▸ Win one of five double passes to the Cunard British Film Festival▸ Win one of five copies of ‘Cult Of Chucky’ on Blu-ray▸ Win one of ten double passes to see ‘Ingrid Goes West’ in cinemasStay Up-To-Datefacebook.com/maketheswitchAUtwitter.com/maketheswitchAUinstagram.com/maketheswitchAUmaketheswitchAU.tumblr.comThe Hoststwitter.com/Charlie_Davidtwitter.com/MissJess_SWITCHtwitter.com/DanielLammintwitter.com/JakeChattyNext week's episode▸ Reviews for ‘Brigsby Bear’, ‘Ingrid Goes West’ and ‘Thor: Ragnarok’▸ We share our favourite Halloween filmsFor more episodeswww.SWITCHCast.com.au

At his wit’s end and Ken’s insistence, he sees a doctor who’s stumped andrefers the couple to a specialist. To everyone’s amazement, Greg is pregnant.Shock, stress, and fear settle in, and Greg’s relationship gets put to theultimate test.Co-starring Chris Salvatore (Eating Out: All You Can Eat, Drama Camp, TheOpen Weekend), Paternity Leave poses a modern answer to the age oldquestion: “Are we ready to be parents?”About the Production“What Paternity Leave does,” co-writer Dustin Tittle explains, “is co-opt thetraditional family and some of its roles. There’s a total blurring of the linesand it’s easy to forget it’s about two men – it’s about two people.”“When I first read the script, I laughed so much,” actor Charlie David recalls.“It’s such a wild and fun concept… Obviously, we live in a world where theidea of having babies isn’t out of the norm – but two dudes doing it is veryout of the norm. And yet, it also largely mirrors the reality of where we are…looking at gay marriage and adoption and surrogacy. It’s very relevant.”Shot in seven days, principal photography of the film began on September 1,2014 – Labor Day – in Nashville, TN.
