Cinemafia

Welcome to the fifth episode of 'Cinemafia' – the film-review show where one of us lies. This Week: 'Alita: Battle Angel' – a 2019 American cyberpunk action film directed by Robert Rodriquez, based on the original Japanese manga 'Gunnm' by Yukito Kishiro. As always, we recommend you watch the film before listening, as we don't go over the plot in detail and much of our discussion may otherwise be meaningless and frustrating (if it isn't already). The premise: we review a film, but one of the hosts (the Mafia) is covertly distorting their opinion, and it's the job of the other hosts (the Villagers) to deduce who the Mafia is and thus vote for their lynching... while at the same time everyone (hopefully) provides engaging critical analysis. If you would like to know who the Mafia is before listening, head to https://tinyurl.com/cinemafiaspoilers. Next week we will be reviewing 'The Princess and the Frog' – a 2009 American animated musical produced by Walt Disney Studios and directed by Ron Clements & John M
