Cinemoddities – late NIGHT movies with Rob & Zack

Episode 231 - Missing (2023)   It's here!  A new movie from the Bazelev company ScreenLife universe!  But does anyone care about this other than Rob & Ben?  Why does this have nothing to do with Jason Statham?  Questions aside, we are ecstatic to explain our thoughts on this movie!  Exclamation mark!   Support the podcast and get access to many more episodes, including even more Jason Statham movi...

Episode 230 - Crank (2006)   It's been a while since we covered an actor, but we're deciding to focus in on another action hero of the modern era, Jason Statham!  Rob and Ben begin with "Crank" and a lengthy discussion of Statham's career.  But how does Statham compare to The Rock?  Is this movie very smart or very stupid?  Are we all just salmon?  Listen in to find out!   Support the podcast and...

Episode 229 - The Predator (2018)   Slowly, over the course of the life of the Cinemoddities Patreon, Rob & Ben have been covering the directorial efforts of Shane Black.  Now, they're here to finish up his filmography with "The Predator"!  But why has Shane Black become a focus for them?  How does this movie rank up to the others?  Will Shane Black ever get to make another movie?  What exactly is...

Episode 228 - Men in Black 2 (2002)   Many months ago, Rob & Zack discussed the first and third entries in the "Men in Black" series, and now it's finally time to finish up the much maligned middle child of the franchise!  Join them as they discuss if this movie really deserves all the hate it regularly receives.  But what are their thoughts about Will Smith's slap at the 2022 Oscars ceremony?  Ho...

Episode 227 - Miss March (2009)   Join Ben & Rob as they finish up some filmographies that they've previously started, and what better way to kick it off than with "Miss March"!  Being Zach Cregger's only directorial effort before "Barbarian", it certainly is an incredibly different movie.  But does it stand the test of time?  Why was Playboy involved in this movie?  Were Hugh Hefner and Trevor Mo...

Episode 226 - Girl on the Third Floor (2019)   In the very end of this year's spooky Halloween season, join Rob & Ben as they dive into a fairly obscure yet absolutely nasty horror movie, "Girl on the Third Floor"!  But why is this movie so obsessed with bodily fluids of all kinds?  Does CM Punk give a good performance?  Does Sarah look like an egret?  Listen in to find out!   Support the podcast...

Episode 225 - Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills (2021), & Halloween Ends (2022)   Evil dies tonight!  Well, at least David Gordon Green's stab at the Halloween franchise dies in this episode.  Join Rob and Zack as they discuss the slasher genre, requels, and the modern trilogy of "Halloween".  But does evil die tonight?  How can we get custard for dessert?  How is this trilogy similar to "Back to...

Episode 224 - Goosebumps (TV Series)   It's that time of the year, Goosebumps time!  Join Rob and Zack for their annual tradition of slowly chipping away at the entirety of the Fox Kids Goosebumps TV show.  How many years will it take them to finish this endeavor?  What could the upcoming Disney+ Goosebumps revival entail, and is anyone happy about it?  Which is better, the ghost dog or the ghost...

Episode 223 - Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)   A movie whose cult classic status has seemingly had a resurgence for no good reason, it's the Chiodo brothers "Killer Klowns from Outer Space"!  Join Rob & Zack as they dive into some of the reasons why this movie could be making a comeback all of a sudden.  Does it have to do with the sheer force of will from marketing?  Does it have something...

Episode 222 - Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)   Something we've talked about flippantly many times in the past, we're finally focusing on the Twilight Zone film and all of the behind-scenes-drama of it!  Join Rob, Zack, and Chris as they get into the gritty details of a truly horrible tragedy that happened during the filming of this movie, as well as a little bit of the movie itself.  How at fault...

Episode 221 - Nope (2022)   We're kicking off Monstober early this year with a new movie from someone who comes up quite a bit on Cinemoddities, it's Jordan Peele's "Nope"!  One both Rob and Zack have been looking forward to, but how do they feel about it?  How does this stand up to the previous "Get Out" and "Us" (otherwise known to Rob as U.S.)?  Is there anything to be gained from this film?  C...

Episode 218 - Ghost in the Shell (1995)   What better way to continue the dive that Rob & Ben are taking into the universe of adult animation than with one of the seminal projects of the art form?  Before "The Matrix", before "Star Wars" even began to understand what sentience of droids even implied, before Hayao Miyazaki even knew how important his work at Studio Ghibli was, the human species was...

Episode 214 - Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010)   It's finally here!  A series Rob has wanted to get into for quite some time, and now that Ben is around to do it, it's getting the spotlight!  Join Cinemoddities as they take a deep dive into the world of adult animation (no, not that kind) and discuss all the reasons that animation isn't just for children.  You might think that this movie is a wei...

Happy Birthday to Nicole!

Episode 213 - Big Fish (2003)   Continuing on with the series of Unexpected Love, it's finally here!  One of Rob's favorite movies ever, which might not be unexpected with how much he likes to reference it - Tim Burton's "Big Fish"!  Join Rob, Ben, and their attorney, Mr. Soggybottom, as they dive into the Southern Gothic, vignette-filled, romance movie.  But why does Rob love this movie so much? ...

Episode 212 - Frozen (2013)   For the first time in forever, Cinemoddities is discussing Disney's mega-money-maker, "Frozen"!  Of course, something like this would only come up when the hosts have decided to revisit the Unexpected Love series!  But which one of Rob & Ben loves this movie?  Is there some deeper meaning to this and the rest of Disney princess stories?  How many times do we curse in...

Bonus - 4 Year Extravaganza Episode   We made it to four whole years of Cinemoddities!  Join Rob, Zack, Ben, and L'juan for the festivities, in which they fill in things that didn't get completed in the last year and discuss a random assortment of topics that don't fit anywhere else!  But how did the episode statistics change this past year?  How bad was season 2 of Euphoria?  What does the restau...

Episode 211 - Men in Black (1997) & Men in Black 3 (2012)   Here come the men in black!  Rob and Zack just couldn't stay away from Barry Sonnenfeld and his nonsense after discussing "Wild Wild West" earlier in the year, so here they are talking the time travel in "Men in Black 3"!  But is the first film in the franchise truly a good movie?  How many movies are in this franchise?  Is Vincent D'Onof...

Episode 210 - Primer (2004)   We here at Cinemoddities certainly live in the turnstiles from "Tenet", but now we can add "the box" from this movie to our repertoire!  It's the cult classic time travel film "Primer" this week, which is (not surprisingly) one of Rob's favorite movies.  Does this movie live up to its reputation of being incredibly confusing?  What are the ethical implications of time...
