Projector Room Podcast 206 – Hamnet Hoosiers

Ted and I are back with another of our fortnightly roundups of all things film, cinema and TV. This time we focus on Video Game Movie Tie-ins, treat ourselves to some Basketball blockbusters, experience The Rip in Bone Lake, follow The Drift into Shakespeare’s Hamnet, Capture the War Machine, scarper from Scarpetta and even have time to look at the Oscar winners. All available now from the usual places. Warning There are some audio issues between about 5 and 10 minutes in, but we ploughed on regardless. Very odd quirks. I tried to fix it, so hopefully it won’t spoil your enjoyment too much. If that’s what it’s called. Enjoyment. Listening to our Pod 😂
