I had no idea this film existed…
On Friday 10 Peach will screen Cooped Up (2016) which comes with the following synopsis:
After coming into contact with a potentially fatal coronavirus, a bitter professional wrestler is forced to isolate himself in his childhood home for 21 days.
This is an Australian film, which stars Charles Cottier, Kathryn Beck, Adam Demos, Stephen Peacocke and Tim Ross.
7:30pm Friday on 10 Peach.
A small Australian film is gaining a lot of attention four years after it was made because of how closely it predicted the COVID-19 pandemic. Read more: https://t.co/SfbF8eFvnQ @coopedupmovie pic.twitter.com/x1cQFB8FHT

So excited!
Bad Boy Bubby would be a good isolation movie to show
cant wait to see this on googlebox, where we people at home in lockdown watch a group of people in their homes in lockdown watching a movie about people at home in lockdown
Gogglebox has aired its last episode this season. Repeated Thurs on 10.
In light of all that is going on, why oh why is this not being promoted and aired on the main channel? Something like this has the potential to be a sleeper hit. Surely this would have been a more appealing option than the likes of… *snort* Takeaway Reheated or yet another 230,000-ish rating Dave Hughes repeat.
Make like Jeff and wake up, 10!
Agree ?…on all points!
As no one’s heard of it, it’s probably an example of a poor film made locally that gets put on to get local quota points-films about assorted disease epidemics are a pretty common concept, although most Aus versions feature zombie plagues!
Not for quota points now. I’d say interest in the subject matter. People have been watching Contagion (personally couldn’t think of anything worse!).
