424. Hectic and Hazy: To Live and Die in L.A. (1985) 06.12.2023

Cinema Drive remembers Guy Fawkes Day and Love Your Red Hair Day with a couple of movies that have nothing in common but November 5! (Kinda!) There's so much disparity between these two admirably alliterative flicks that it was too much fun for Jason and Ryan NOT to get into both. The Deep Question: What is a movie watching experience that changed your enjoyment of a film, for better or for w...

418. The Thing (1982): A Cinema Drive Halloween 25.10.2023

A Happy Halloween to all of you out there in Movieland! This year Jason and Ryan go into isolated dread in the deep Antarctic and circle each other with mistrust and fear...or at least they would if they didn't both love this Carpenter classic so darn much.

416. From the Files of Leslie Nielsen: Airplane! (1980) and The Naked Gun (1988) 11.10.2023

Cinema Drive knew "you were all counting on us" to land a goofy spoofy episode all about the genius of Leslie Nielsen and his two best collaborations with the Zuckers and Abrahams. But if you don't like groaning with laughter every four seconds, then "there's nothing to see here. Please disperse!" The Deep Question: What is a movie that has sat on your "to watch&...
