The Disgruntled Cinephile

We return with our second season. We begin with our month-long “Spook-tacular” series. We kick off our series with the underrated, cult classic, 1985 film, Silver Bullet . Based on a Stephen king novel starring Gary Busey and Corey Haim. A movie so rarely available that I wasn’t sure if I actually saw this movie or was it a fever dream.

We conclude our gritty crime dramas from the seventies, and our first season, with Death Wish . A movie that attempted to have a conversation about standing up to crime, but it was a singular conversation with itself. This concludes our first season. October will begin our second season. Our Halloween slate of films will begin on October 8 and we have some fun stuff set for it.   Wanna Donate...

Note: We will be taking a week or two off. After moving t...

Many people have their reasons as to why they call him “Dirty Harry”. We start our new direction with touching on the seminal film that launched the “rogue genre” that has been a staple in pop culture for over fifty years. Not only did he become a major Hollywood player but it launched a genre that is still used today. Dirty Harry has many political tones about liberal policies. However, if you ca...

This week, Steven discusses one of his favorite underrated movies, Steve Jobs (2015) . Suffering from oversaturation of Jobs documentaries, books, and other media, this movie takes a look at the man and not his accomplishments. Much of which angered the Jobs cult into trashing this movie. Starting next week, the podcast will pivot to covering movies from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. Dive into their c...

Welcome to the debut episode of The Disgruntled Cinephile . Before we get into the crux of what the show will be about, there needs to be ground rules.
