The Big Film Buffet is a new Netflix Australia podcast plating up a three-course feast of your favourite (and next favourite) movies.
Join Susie Youssef and Alexei Toliopoulos every Tuesday for a new tasty treat — of films. We can’t stress this enough: this is a podcast about movies, not food. Each week, Susie and Alexei will serve up a premiere pick direct from Netflix, a classic film from the same genre, and a personalised recommendation for something a little extra.
In the first episode of The Big Film Buffet – available now on Spotify and everywhere else you get your podcasts – Susie and Alexei are serving up a family-friendly feast of movies including ‘Enola Holmes’, ‘Matilda’ and ‘Looking for Alibrandi’.
Susie Youssef:
“If you’re anything like me, deciding what to watch is a regular struggle so hopefully we’ll help you with a bunch of recommendations to add to that list in the notes section of your phone that you keep forgetting to look at.”
Alexei Toliopoulos:
“Listening to Susie and me on Netflix’s new podcast “The Big Film Buffet” will be just like meeting two new friends you can finally talk to about that movie you just watched on Netflix.”
“I’m excited to guide you to cinematic discoveries and special hidden gems because it’s probably the entire reason I even exist on Earth – and once we’ve connected everyone on this planet with their special movie, I will ascend to the next plane of existence… and wherever that is, I hope they have movies there too.”
