Train Dreams & Knives Out 3 Review: These Movies Deserve Better Than Netflix

This week on the Screen Love Affair Podcast, Shea and Brandon break down two major releases: Train Dreams and Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.They explore why Train Dreams hits so hard emotionally, how its cinematography elevates the story, and why watching it at home simply doesn’t compare to a theatrical experience. They also dive into Rian Johnson’s latest murder mystery, discussing the surprising character depth, visual style, and the clever writing that continues to keep this whodunnit franchise feeling fresh.Using these films as a jumping-off point, the conversation expands into the broader state of streaming versus theatrical releases, including Netflix’s disappointing lack of theatrical distribution, the value of audience reactions, and why all movies deserve the big screen.🎬 For the love of film and the films we love, subscribe and join the love affair! ❤️Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X(Twitter)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shea⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠Brandon⁠⁠ on Letterboxd.
