You asked for it Cine-Files! In last year's listeners survey we asked which movie from the early days of the podcast did you want us to redo in our more in depth format. The answer wasn't even close, Martin Scorsese's gangster classic, Goodfellas. When we did this the first time, way back in 2016, the entire episode was just over one hour. This time part one is almost two hours. Needle...

The first holiday episode ever recorded on The Cine-Files was It's a Wonderful Life but that is not what we are re-releasing today because there was absolutely no way we could do this incredible film justice in just one hour. So, instead, we are very pleased to re-release, our expanded remake.  If you haven't seen this incredible film you can buy or stream it right here.  https://amzn.to/3...

Not only was this our first two part Holiday episode but it was also one of our most unusual as we decided to break apart this ensemble piece into several short films. It was an experiment that ended up highlighting exactly what makes this movie so special. It also made some of the problems even more glaring) Joining us for this exploration is one of our favorite guests, Michael Vogel.  If you hav...

For the first of two holiday films this year, The Cine-Files goes back to 1942 and one of the classic musicals of the Golden Age. With incredible singing from Bing Crosby, fantastic dancing from Fred Astaire to the classic music of Irving Berlin, Holiday Inn does not disappoint. However, it does contain one scene which almost takes away its status as a great film and that is the truly upsetting Bl...

Happy Holidays and welcome to the first of two very special Holiday movies on The Cine-Files. First up it's the 1942 classic Holiday Inn starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. This is a truly delightful movie with wonderful songs from Iriving Berlin, incredible dancing from Fred Astaire and the introduction of one of the most iconic songs of all time, White Christmas sung by Bing Crosby. Warni...

The final 45 minutes of the film and this entire episode focuses on the only trial ever brought to court on the murder of JFK. This sequence is a tour de force of acting, screenwriting and filmmaking technique. You might not agree with the conclusions made by Jim Garrison and director, Oliver Stone, but that doesn't make the final act of the movie any less thrilling.  If you haven't seen t...

The problem with conspiracy theories is they can lead you down a rabbit hole and the JFK conspiracy might have more rabbit holes than any other conspiracy in American history. In this episode, Steve and John discuss MLK, RFK, Jimmy Hoffa, the CIA, FBI, NSA, Homeland Security, Watergate, 9/11 and the Black Panthers. That's a lot of conspiracies for one Cine-Files episode.  If you haven't se...

John and Steve go through the looking glass with District Attorney Jim Garrison as he expands his investigation into the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Now you might believe that all of this conspiracy talk is BS and be 100% convinced that Oswald acted alone but that doesn't make this Oliver Stone masterpiece any less compelling.  If you haven't seen this incredible fi...
