Writer/Director Mark Raso joins the pod to discuss his latest film, the grounded sci-fi thriller AWAKE, which is his 2nd Netflix Original Movie after his Indie Drama KODACHROME back in 2018. We talk to Mark about the difference between working with Netflix now versus 3 years ago, how this story came to him, his experience writing the script with his brother Joseph, his favorite sci-fi thrillers, how his global catastrophe film compares to our past year in the pandemic, & what is next for him after AWAKE.

Ever find yourself scrolling through Netflix's endless movie menu, landing on a new original, and wondering if it's worth your time? That's where The NOMCAST-Netflix Original Movie Podcast comes in. Host Andrew Morgan, a comedian with a deep love for film, doesn't just give a thumbs up or down. Instead, he digs into each film with a different guest every episode-you might hear from a working cinematographer one week, a film critic the next, or a friend from the comedy scene. These conversations go beyond simple review, exploring what works, what doesn't, and why these specific movies exist in the streaming era. The discussions are insightful but kept loose and entertaining, thanks to Andrew's perspective. Whether it's a major blockbuster or a smaller, quirky release, this podcast treats each Netflix original as a piece of modern cinema worth a thoughtful, and often funny, dissection. You'll come away with a better understanding of the film itself and the unique landscape of streaming-original content. It's like having a passionate, well-informed friend to debrief with after the credits roll.
