Episode 48 of Socially Distanced Cinema is here! Your host Darren Gaskell welcomes back Cait Orton to the podcast and this time they're discussing the much-anticipated horror sequel A QUIET PLACE PART II!
As you'd expect, Cait brings her usual brand of fun and smarts to the proceedings and there's not only talk of sequel expectations and John Kransinki's beard, there's a comparison of two slightly different audience experiences in relation to viewing the film.

Episode 46 of Socially Distanced Cinema is here and it's back to the cinema! Darren Gaskell put on his mask, sat in a darkened auditorium and took a look at Simon McQuoid's 2021 update of MORTAL KOMBAT!
Joining Darren to discuss the film is SDC podcast royalty and Mortal Kombat fan Dr. Lauren McIntyre. Expect a couple of swears and a fun chat about the new/old film versions, the video game and the time Darren said something fairly blunt to a stranger during Blade Of The Immortal.
