The one where we review A Quiet Place: Day One and The Hitman

Hello and thank you for downloading another episode of The Flixters Podcast!   On this week’s episode we’re talkin’ killer aliens and romantic hitmen, so please join us as we discuss A Quiet Place: Day One and The Hitman.  The alien invasion genre is tried and tested and it took 2018’s A Quiet Place to inject some much needed originality into the genre. Six years on, and we now have the third installment in the Quiet franchise. Set before the events of the first two films, Day One, follows ‘Samira’, an understated performance from Lupita Nyong’o, as she tries to make her way to Harlem for the best slice of pizza in New York.  Intrigued? Check out the show for what we thought.  We also talk about The Hitman, a new Netflix release starring Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick), about a college professor who works part-time as a fake hitman for the local police department.  If the story sounds absurd, that’s because it is, but Glen Powell is sensational as the nerdy teacher unwillingly thrust into the seedy underbelly of organised crime.   Check out the show for more.  On Anniversary Corner we look back at Edge of Tomorrow (2014). If that’s not enough for you, we’ve even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming.  Thank you for supporting us and we hope you enjoy the show!  00:00 Intro  01:53 Shoutouts 04:01 Movie News 13:48 New on Streaming 20:14 New Trailers 28:50 Anniversary Corner 30:08 A Quiet Place: Day One review 42:34 The Hitman review 47:53 Kinds of Kindness (Hidden Gem) 54:54 Outro
