Rv8 (An Amateur Cinematic Podcast Experience)

An attempt to dissect the PROFOUNDLY dissapointing cinematic lunar cycle that was June 2023. A month that really exposed the disconnect between studios and audiences...and a month that may have contributed to the success of Barbieheimer

Joined once more by former Halo champion, current ameteur bodybuilder, and hot take connoisseur Christian Snook. We discuss the superhero films from 2023, and how it all ties into what is yet to come.

A conversation about the CRIMINALLY overlooked/underappreciated cinematic gems of the year of 2023. Joined by co-creator of SpoilerFreeReviews Tarush Mohanti.

What does it mean to be an Icon ? Or a Legend ? What is the difference between a SUPER star....and just a REGULAR -ass star? In this episode there is a valiant effort made to get some clarifications to these terminologies...through a little bit of powerscaling.

A prologue that also serves as a wrap-up of season 3 because I didn't have the time to make a proper season finale episode. This amateur podcasting thing...S*** ain't easy folks.

Spoiler Free Reviews co-founder Aaron Goldstein joins us to help provide a much needed deeper dive into what the definition of a BS movie is while showcasing some of 2022's BS-iest BS flicks. Sorry for the late posts. Recording in multiple locations at this point.

A list of the best and/or most meaningful scenes of 2022. Recorded in VARIOUS locations. Peak amateur podcasting things happening in this episode folks.

This week we are joined by friend of the show Christian Snook in a discussion about the superhero movies that were released in the year of 2022. Except Morbius. We saved ourselves the agony of talking about Morbius at length...just letting y'all know that right now. Nobody should put themselves through that.

A conversation about some of the most CRIMINALLY overlooked films of 2022 with the co-creator of the media review website SpoilerFreeReviews Tarush Mohanti. Check out the website at www.spoilerfreereviews.com

A valiant attempt to evaluate the "Avatar Phenomenon". How/why it arrived, why it's making the money its making, and its impact on cinema as a whole. Oh, and also some unapologetic USDA approved shade for you "Avatar Fanboy" jabronies.

Season 3 Prologue. Recorded in a basement. Not recorded on a wave transmitter or anything...even though it may sound like that.

A discussion about what turned out to be THE biggest topic of debate when it came to movies in the year of 2021. Also, a rundown of the top films of the year.

A conversation about a mutual distaste of all things West Side Story. Also, the discussion of a future film that may be able to set a new standards for Latine representation going forward. Partially recorded in a basement. Just letting you know.

A detailed look at the films of 2021 that had good intentions...but turned out to be...let's just say...poo from a bull.

A list of the best and/or most meaningful movie scenes of 2021.  Recorded in a building that was undergoing construction. It echoes a little. Sorry bout that.

This week we are joined by Illustrator/Photographer/Heavy Metal Drummer and comic book fan Xavier Upshaw in a discussion about everything having to do with superhero movies in the year of 2021.

An exploration of what it was like to regularly go to movie theatres post-lockdown throughout the year of 2021. Plus, a eulogy for the Hollywood tourist tabernacle known as Arclight Cinemas. A eulogy that seems to have an expiration date.

A recap of the "year in film" that was 2020....in about 4 minutes or so.

In the penultimate episode, screenwriters Anthony and Kaylah Cantu stop by once again to give their opinions on the decade as a whole. Amongst the things discussed are the underrated films, the best scenes & performances, more BS films, and much more.

A worthy attempt to somehow document ALL OF THE S*** that happened in what was the most eventful, and consistently entertaining year of film of the 2010's.  A year that might also be the most impactful year of film to come along in a very, very, long time.

An exploration of the genre that had (BY FAR) the largest amount of gutter trash theatrical releases throughout the 2010's. Also, I got questions for you recalcitrant horror fanatics that may help you to make better choices. 

Conclusion. THE top 5 individual movie scenes of the decade. FEATURING:  A detailed look at both the best comedic and dramatic scenes of the decade. A masterful ending that was utterly ruined. A brilliant comedic scene from a dead serious leading man. And quite possibly the definitive pop culture moment of the decade itself.

A list of the top 10 Individual scenes of the 2010's. Also, a rundown of the cultural impact and cinematic influence that certain scenes have had over the past 40 years or so, leading into the 2010's. (And scenes that were worthy of honorable mentions. There were waaaay too many great scenes to just keep it to 10)

Conclusion. More rundowns of the most bull**** movies of the decade, and the things that make bull**** movies appear so frequently. (Including a Star Wars rant that may have started a beef between me and the sound engineer)

An exploration of the things that can turn good (if not potentially great) movies, with good intentions...into movies that are irredeemable disappointments that are deeply submerged in bull****. Also, examples of some of the biggest bull**** movies of the 2010's. (Recorded while being all up in my feelings...and after two beers on an empty stomach)
