Welcome to the eleventh episode of 'Cinemafia' – the film-review show where one of us lies. We keep pretending we have a weekly, Tuesday release schedule, but that just isn’t happening, is it? This week: ‘Hellboy’ – the 2019 reboot of the eponymous supernatural superhero film series, directed by Neil Marshall and based on the graphic novels written by Frank Mignola.

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.
