On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, not only do we tackle what we love and loathe about the movie watching experience - both in the theater and at home - and our personal preferences, we also discuss a few of our favorite black icons, review My Dead Friend Zoe, and final at the most important conversation of them all: with Amazon now having creative control of the franchise, everyone is preparing for the James Bond Cinematic Universe! First up, recently it was announced that Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson finally agreed to release creative control of the James Bond IP to Amazon, meaning the company can now expand that universe to its heart's content. What does that mean, and why does it matter to us? Then it's time to settle in and discuss, probably with far too much detail, what we love and loathe about the modern movie watching experience, both in theaters and at home. What is your experience like? We final our episode with a look at a few upcoming attractions, our review of My Dead Friend Zoe, and a discussion on a few of our favorite black icons.

Also this week, we play a game where we take a famous quote from a Rom-Com and share why it just doesn't work anymore, as well as reviews of Love Hurts and Heart Eyes. Let's get on with the show!
