On this week's episode, Mike tries to break his last record of how many times he can say "rectum" in an episode. Also, we discuss the 1960 classic "The Apartment". If you're into that sort of thing.

In the world of cinema, there have been a few occasions where a film has been both reviled and heralded…regarded as disgusting, horrific, unwatchable and also as a masterpiece, a must see, and a work of art. Very few films have had the wide range of these polarizing opinions more than one. The topic of this episode, 2002's Gaspar Noé’s brutal, unflinching French revenge thriller, Irreversible. TRI...

On this week's episode, we revert to what we know best: talk to other people about their favorite movies. We invited out fan, singular, Keaton to discuss his background, top ten favorites and some least favorites. Also a lengthy segue about Arnold Schwarzenegger's filmography ensues. Who was Lon Cheney's lover?

Taking a break from their usual era of movies, Mike brings us the 1957 forgotten gem, Elia Kazan film, A Face in the Crowd. Listen in as Mike and Trevor discuss plots, themes and issues featured in this movie that are still relevant today. Also the most obnoxious laugh of all time and it's not Trevor or Mike's.

On this weeks episode, Trevor brings in one of his favorite crime dramas, The Way of the Gun. Does this movie still hold up? Will Mike and Trevor have their first disagreement on a movie? Is Ryan Phillippe a good actor? Are James Caan’s polos too tight? All will be answered, so listen in.

Mike and Trevor are back to business with their latest episode discussing the 1998 cult classic, Dark City. Does this movie hold up? Did this movie influence a string of films following it? Is Michael Gaddie's autobiography finally going to be coming out? Listen in and find out!

On this weeks episode, we have our long awaited special guest…our multi-talented friend Oscar Velasquez! Join us as we discuss his unique, diverse top ten favorite movies, Cannes, career advice, film school memories and crashing his “motorcycle” in France. Note: The sound quality varies despite Oscar being in the same room as us. Unfortunately he had to record separately on his AirPods.

Showcasing their ability to be flexible, Trevor and Mike take the opportunity to discuss the ((often considered)) greatest years in cinema history. Mike flexes his borderline savant knack for movie year release dates, while Trevor further drives the point home that he really can’t recall the release years for movies. Fun fact for this episode: we now hold the record for mentioning the most movies...

Trevor and Mike get back to their regularly scheduled program with an episode discussing Wes Anderson’s familial epic, The Royal Tenenbaums. Listen in as we discuss plot, ((kinda)) themes ((sorta)) and why Wes Anderson apparently dislikes animals.

On another bonus Cine-Mini Review, Mike, Trevor, and our special guest Tyler Masid discuss the newly released film that’s changing the way a lot of people think about, process, and experience cinema, Everything Everywhere All At Once. Does this movie have something for everyone? Is this film as amazing as most everyone is making it out to be? Who is Jobu Tupaki? Listen In and find out what we thin...

In our first (and hopefully not last!) special guest appearance episode, we invited someone who’s tastes and interests in film we can personally vouch for. Trevor’s brother, Tyler pays us a visit to discuss his personal top 10 favorite movies of all time. Tears will be shed, laughs will be had, and yes…there will be blood.

For Trevor’s homework this week, Mike brings the universally praised and highly regarded western, Once Upon a Time in the West. Join us on an epic adventure as we discuss themes, plot points, camera terminology, and Will Smith slapping horses.

For the first homework assignment, Mike and Trevor discuss the overlooked and under appreciated 2012 film, The Place Beyond the Pines. A lengthy discussion ensues with many surprises and revelations coming to light. To this day, Trevor still insists on riding like lighting, even though we all know how it ends.

In this episode, Mike brings his first ever podcast homework assignment to Trevor. Mike and Trevor then discuss the pros and cons of lowering their overhead while also talking about the highly regarded cult classic “Being John Malkovich”   Directed by Spike Jonze Written by Charlie Kaufman   Starring John Cusack, Cameron Diaz, Catherine Keener and of course John Malkovich   Released in 1999 by Uni...

On this "very special" episode, Mike and Trevor briefly ((maybe not so briefly)) discuss their thoughts and opinions on the latest Batman release, including the different cuts we may or may not have seen.   Please keep in mind the now-famous "joker deleted scene" had not been released to the general public.

As a way of showing you our tastes in movies, we figured we'd tell you what our favorite movies were.
