Cinephilia

We get in the wayback machine to the year of our lord 2,025. Also a very special announcement at the end of the episode!

It’s just one of those things that happens. Us taking months to release a new episode. Today we talk about the 3 hour epic from the director of One Battle After Another, Paul Thomas Anderson.

We're heading back to podcasting, back to talking movies with Back to the Future. Go in depth behind the history of the franchise's first film as Mike and Trevor discuss Mike's favorite movie of all time. Is there a more complete podcast episode about this movie? I don't know, I didn't do that much research.

It's our 3rd Anniversary and we're celebrating once again with Charlie Kaufman. This time it's the only movie in both of our top 5 movie's list, 2004's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. A more serious episode, we talk about our love of this movie along with our first experience and how it has inspired us in our daily lives, our music and our Halloween costumes.

One of the greatest movies of the last two decades and one of the best movies from the legendary Coen Brothers, No Country For Old Men won Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor for one of cinema's greatest villain performances.

It's our annual Halloween episode and just in time for Christmas! Dr Hannibal Lector is now making house calls right inside your ear holes! Merry Christmas you filthy animal! Also, don't forget to put the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again!

This episode was plagued with technical problems in the first 15 minutes or so. While recording, the computer recording the audio was having problems, which resulted in the audio skipping every now and then. Good news is this was only in the first 15 minutes. Bad news, it removes words of great context. So if you're confused about what we're talking about, that is why. I can say one time our guest...

What is your American Dream? To have a family and a house? A job that you love? To be rich and famous? Or is it to make cheap horror films while skipping child support and getting every dollar you can out of your dying uncle? Well that seems to be Mark Borchardt wants most. It's the story of ambition, artistic integrity, avoiding a 9 to 5 and drinking as much as you can while digging yourself deep...

We're back and hopefully this time it will stick. Trevor brings in one of his childhood favorites, Michael Jackson Moonwalker! The King of Pop blesses us with some of his best videos of all time and other random scenes where he transforms into machines and plays soccer wrong. J'mon and join Mike and Trevor as they recount Michael Jackson's ego trippin to the gates of Club 30s.

We're alive! and we've brought an old friend! Recorded live from Oscar's apartment we talk about the 96th Annual Academy Awards. Who got snubbed? What films are the most overrated? And does Julianne Moore have enough hot dogs? Its another Oscars with Oscar!

Our Monthly episode is here!

One of our shortest episodes ever. What does that say about how we felt about Phil Tippett's opus? Guess you'll just have to listen in.

“I don't know. I feel like I should just stop... You know? Just stop thinking about it, but I can't. Maybe I've seen too many movies, you know? Love at first sight. What do you think about love at first sight? You think you could love somebody by just looking at them? But the thing is, man, I felt like I knew her.” For our semi regularly scheduled programming, Trevor brings in yet another Derek Ci...

Three movies in one episode?! That's riight! This time it's three times the action, three times the comedy and three times the Jackie...Jackie Chan that is! It's the super star's seminal works, The first three Police Story movies. Jackie performs some of his greatest stunts and costars with future Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh in Police Story 3: Supercop.

Getting back on track with our regularly scheduled programming, we’re discussing a movie that has the all important “three B’s”… boobs, blood…..and Bacon. A film important for many young boys growing up in the late 90’s….for several reasons. Listen in as we discuss 1998’s erotic noir thriller classic, Wild Things.

Few filmmakers are as influential as the great Orson Welles. Few are as infamous. A man of magic, lies and art, Welles brings to light three fakers, one being himself in our first documentary. A documentary that observes the fakeness of art, the fakeness of "experts" and whether or not truth should get in the way of a good story. This week we return to the Criterion Collection with F for Fake!

What's cooler than cool? It's Ice, baby! Sneak a peak at a taste of the early 90s and drop those zeros and get with our hero, Robert Van Winkle. Check out his fight skills that rival Steven Seagal and his detective skills that rival Walker Texas Ranger. But what does he do in his down time? He's just coolin' but don't be trippin' and skippin' this episode because it's Cool as Iccccccce!

Ok...how should I start this episode summary? Should I start with the reason it took so long to upload this episode? No I don't' have a good excuse for that and people are just going to think I'm some kind of loser. Maybe I should talk about the movie. But I hate when people go on and on in the description about what the podcasters talk about in the episode. I know! I'll make it very meta, like ho...

Instead of describing our Swiss Army Man episode, I thought we should hear from the critics of the movie: "Incredible and not in a good way." says Wendy Ide of the Observer (UK) "By the end, having failed in its attempt at cleverness, the movie veers into sentiment, the inevitable last resort. The movie fails at that, too." raves Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle "Dano, as a dude who was...

The 95th Annual Academy Awards are Sunday and in order to talk about it properly Mike and Trevor bring in their Oscar expert, Oscar. We go through all 23 categories and explain what the Academy forgot, what they got wrong, who we think should win and who we think will win. Who will win best Actor, Hot Austin or Fat Fraser? Who will win best director, a couple of Daniels or a man who's been here be...

Let me tell you the story of Right Hand/Left Hand. For it was with the right hand (LOVE) that actor Charles Laughton directed Robert Mitchum in one of his scariest performances in a film based on a controversial book and it was the left hand (HATE) that critics struck down the first time director's directing career. But wait a minute! As time went on, 1955's The Night of the Hunter became a belove...

On a very special episode of Cinephilia, Mike and Trevor talk about possibly the most underrated movie of 2022, Babylon. It's the unique tale of Hollywood's struggle with the introduction of sound. 

Nothing good happens after 2 AM! WatchMojo called it the most underrated movie of all time...twice. Mike and Trevor talk about one of Martin Scorsese's least talked about movies. It's one crazy night in SoHo that will have you screaming Surrender Dorothy!
