Cinema Roast Bunch: Film Discussion & Movie Reviews

Our series on working actor Robert Loggia begins with the CInema Roast Bunch debut of the singularly talented David Lynch and his vibes-loaded Lost Highway .

This week, as John has more important matters to attend to, Travis and Noah tackle the recently released modern horror classic Obsession.

In the final episode of Sword and Sorcuary, the Bunch steps out of the Dark Ages and into the magical world of Faerun to crown the definitive best Chris.  Noah's Mobile Suit Gundam Watch Order:  Quick and Dirty: - Original Movie Trilogy - Netflix - Zeta Gundam (Series) - Crunchyroll - Char’s Counterattack (Film) - Crunchyroll - Hathaway (Film)  - Netflix - Hathaway 2 (Film) - Not Streaming Yet Dee...

This week on the show, the crew tackles the Superman guy's star-studded fantasy film Ladyhawke. Is the score as bad as people say? Will Travis ever take the plunge into tabletop role-playing games? Will trivia break up the Bunch forever? Like uncovering a mysterious curse put on by a lustful priest, all will be revealed... Support the show Email Us!  cinemaroastbunch@gmail.com

Sword and Sorcuary continues with the cult-classic  Dragonslayer ! The ILM-studded dark fantasy epic that wrongfully bombed at the box office has, over the years, cemented itself as a staple of the genre, influencing the likes of Dragonlance Chronicles and A Song of Ice and Fire,  among others . And we love it to bits. Support the show Email Us!  cinemaroastbunch@gmail.com

This week, the Bunch dives straight into Sword and Sorcuary to the Dark Ages to re-examine the 1981 classic Excalibur ! Horny pacts, enough armor to suit a nation, and music that sells the era of high adventure, what more do you need? Support the show Email Us!  cinemaroastbunch@gmail.com

This week, we take a look back at our show, the last few themes, and reminisce. And, the grand reveal of the next one!  Support the show Email Us!  cinemaroastbunch@gmail.com

This week, we are treated to a rarity. A world where Tom Cruise gets to be the bad guy in an unabashed look at the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles. If  Heat was Michael Mann's love letter to L.A.,  Collateral  is its reality check.  Support the show Email Us!  cinemaroastbunch@gmail.com

This time, we are transported back to a simpler time. A time where you could steal orange juice from your terrible retail job, smoke cigarettes in the dairy cooler, get on a drug dealer's hitlist, and shoot a bouncer in Vegas. All in one night!  Support the show Email Us!  cinemaroastbunch@gmail.com

Much to Travis' dismay, it is time for John Landis' mid-80's cameo fest. It didn't take long for our " One Night in Bangkok"  theme to get a little loosey-goosey: Into the Night technically happens over a couple of days, okay, but who's counting?  Support the show Email Us!  cinemaroastbunch@gmail.com

It is that time of year: The time to celebrate, commemorate, and reminisce about our favorite movies of the last year! Subjective, obviously.  Support the show Email Us!  cinemaroastbunch@gmail.com

The Bunch takes on their next chapter, a series all about films that take place over one harrowing night! And what a night it was for The Warriors. Come out and (hit) play... THE AUDIO FILE WAS BROKEN IN THIS EPISODE. IT IS NOW FIXED! Support the show Email Us!  cinemaroastbunch@gmail.com

The first season of The Cinema Roast Bunch concludes much like how we began, an excruciatingly difficult list. The crew breaks down their personal top 3 favorite animated films of all time, regardless of medium! Support the show Email Us!  cinemaroastbunch@gmail.com

Connuary comes to a close with not a bang, but a thunderclap as the Bunch reluctantly opens wounds long past for Travis and dives headfirst into one of Sean Connery's lesser beloved films. London isn't safe; the once top-billed super spy now takes on the role of a maniacal weather-controlling villain. Unfortunately, it isn't nearly as compelling as it sounds...

The gang delves into the secret Alien sequel, which pits good-cop Sean Connery against the forces of space exploitation. Just in time for the 4K release! We made it happen, we swear! Support the show Email Us!  cinemaroastbunch@gmail.com

This week on CRB we welcome our first guest! We sat down with the director of the 2025 indie film Stationed at Home to take a look into his process, the making-of, and our shared love of movies. Plus, a bit of catch-up as the crew hasn't recorded in a while.  Support the show Email Us!  cinemaroastbunch@gmail.com

It's Connuary! Our Sean Connery mini-series commences with the 1975 adventure classic, inspired by Rudyard Kipling's 1888 novella. A film that could have easily become a culturally insensitive period piece has, instead, proven its enduring quality as a tale of brotherly love and adventure. We were all pleasantly surprised by our enjoyment of this episode, which also marks the inaugural episode of...

This week: It is Into the Clancy-verse with 1990's stellar political thriller The Hunt for Red October . The Bunch breaks down the real political tension of the time, the source material, the creatives behind this remarkable adaptation, and, of course, Sean Connery's hair. John McTiernan had a hell of a run during the peak of his career, but is Red October his best? Time to find out... Support the...

In 1986, the world was introduced to Connor MacLeod, and it was never the same since. What was initially a novel concept for a schlocky, mid-80s action film was eventually expanded into a full-on franchise, with multiple sequels and even a six-season TV series. Today, we're not worrying about all that. We delved into the original film, examining its blemishes, continuity errors, and delightful cha...

Our Black Christmas journey comes to an end with a (kiss kiss) bang! What should have been an instant classic, 2016's The Nice Guys is instead capping off the Cinema Roast Bunch's look at the directorial work of writer/director Shane Black. As we delved deep into the film, trying our best to recap and do it justice, our appreciation only grew. Lightning in a bottle, this. Just a shame he never dir...

Black Christmas is approaching its peak with a look at the hysterical 2005 murder/mystery that put Robert Downey Jr. back on the map and graced us with perhaps the best performance of Val Kilmer's career. This raucous, vulgar, and hysterical romp through the crime and snark-ridden streets of 2005 LA is as delightful as it is sharp. If that wasn't enough, breaking down the film's central mystery ma...

As the Black Christmas train continues to roll, the Bunch takes a quick stop at the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a revisit of Shane Black's directorial "one for them" that is still undeniably his. Did this threequel deserve the scorn it got, or is it secretly one of Marvel's best movies?  Support the show Email Us!  cinemaroastbunch@gmail.com

It is a solemn day for the Cinema Roast Bunch... As the crew embarks on their (Shane) Black Christmas voyage, they encounter their biggest obstacle yet: a film so bad that it nearly tanked its franchise forever before being miraculously resuscitated in 2022 thanks to the efforts of one Dan Trachtenberg and his remarkable return to form Prey. Despite the usually sharp pen of writer/director Shane B...

Christmas in July! This week on CRB, John and Travis brave the horrors of Bob Clark's sorority slasher as we begin our descent into the first and aptly named arc of the show: Black Christmas.  Support the show Email Us!  cinemaroastbunch@gmail.com
