We are officially back with our first episode proper of Season 3! We had a lot of fun in the off-season, and created some amazing content, both long-form and short-form. If you haven't yet, be sure to go back through the last few months of episodes and see if our new 5 Minute Review Series tickles your fancy. We've also got some great guest spots and films, like Jesse from Sudden But Inevitable, W...

We're still here in the off-season doing what we do best...talking about movies! Today's episode is our last full-length review before we kick off Season 3 shortly, and we're happy to bring a new friend into the fold in the form of Wyndham Jennings from the Celluloid Fever Dream podcast! Wyndham has a similar approach to the films he reviews on his program in that he tries to find films that are s...

This is Neon Genesis Evangelion, and we're specifically looking at the film End of Evangelion, which is a re-telling of the final 2 episodes of the show. Now, for this series and subsequent film, Ryan took a backsea...

We're still here in the off-season doing what we do best...talking about movies! Today's episode came about through an off-hand comment via Twitter. MJ, in a very joking/not joking fashion, casually remarked that he felt (and still feels) that the Color of Money has never gotten the recognition it deserves, and that he would love to go on a film program and talk about it. ENTER ESOTERICA CINEMA! N...

Today we are bringing you something a little different, as we analyze not a movie but * gasp* a television show! But we're not just looking at any old show, no. This is Neon Genesis Evangelion, and we're specifically looking at the final 6 episodes in an attempt to figure out just what the what is going on in this deeply metaphorical series. Now, for this series, Ryan took a backseat while Jason d...

During this off-season of Esoterica Cinema, we wanted to take a moment to show some appreciation to our fans. The other day, a guy by the name of Nick hit us up on IG and told us how much he loved the show and asked if we had ever seen this film The Beast? After responding that we had not, Nick proceeded to break down the many reasons why this is a film worth checking out, and it didn't take long...
