The Cinefools

This week -as an accidental celebration of its 40th anniversary- Jordan and Jacob hurtle 40 years back in time, to witness the magnificence that is James Cameron's quasi-directorial debut, The Terminator! .... (it's technically 1982's Piranha II: The Spawning but you have to get Cameron on a good day for him to admit that). A science fiction action TECH NOIR film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as...

…and we got that fool-ish podcast thing that you like. And when Buzz go crashing down, he'll be dead in due time. Cause he never jumped out the car, he never jumped out the car. Taylor Swift musical parody aside, Jordan and Jacob have a jam-packed episode this week as they cover 1955s 'Rebel Without a Cause', the Nicholas Ray directed, James Dean starring coming-of-age drama about the rebellious,...

Greetings Comrades! It's me - Jordan, reporting to you live from the fictionalised land of Soviet Russia in 1953! I have no idea why Jacob has brought me here, how he got me here, nor do I know what anyone is talking about - something about Soviet onions I think. What I do know is that a man named Stalin has a gun to our heads and is asking us to be funny. Naturally we will be dead quite soon. But...

On Cinefools recording day Jordan asked Jacob what day it was. "Mean Girls Day", he responded. Jordan was disconcerted, forced to contemplate the ramifications of this endeavour into the uncharted "girl-world". Did the internet truly need to hear our thoughts on the Tina Fey written and Mark Waters directed 2004, teen comedy classic, 'Mean Girls' and its illustrations of the sociology of girls, ge...

With their chainsaws and boomsticks at the ready, the Cinefools are biting off more than the usual chew this week, covering not just one, but an entire trilogy of films, Sam Raimi's cult classic Evil Dead Trilogy! (1981's The Evil Dead, 1987's Evil Dead II and 1992's Army of Darkness) Not solely a horror series teeming with gut-wrenching scares, a surplus of gore, demonic spirits and hair-raising...

://NASA//TRANSMISSION:LOG://[22] It's been a while now. 22 weeks trapped in a room with nothing but each other and a microphone. The isolation and loneliness at full throttle. Unable to harvest any purpose beyond the echo chamber we had subjected ourselves to. We were reaching our wits end. What were we trying to achieve? Who are the Cinefools? But like a shining star in the night sky, Duncan Jone...

The Cinefools are off to Robot City to chase their dreams! To make a podcast on Blue Sky's animated feature, Robots (2005)! Not the most ambitious dream we know, but we saw a need and we filled it goddamnit! Join us and witness the overbearing power of the domino effect, as the opening scene and its blatant sexual undertones births an unforgiving chain reaction, setting the precedent for a weirdly...

9 weeks ago Jordan and Jacob started a podcast. Somewhere in those 63 days the Cinefools were scooped up by the unrelenting studio system. But they escaped. And just as Jon Favreau did with his 2014 indie darling 'Chef', (in which he directed, wrote, co-produced and starred in) they have reconnected with their roots. Talking about another film that seems to be (in more ways than one) a semi-autobi...

Welcome to the world beyond that weird little door behind the cabinet in your dining room. A world similar to your own, with one key difference. No Cinefools. Stay here with us as we discuss the Henry Selick written and directed, stop-motion animated masterpiece, ' Coraline ' (2009). Please. We promise everything here is totally normal, structured and professional. No foolishness. Why would you go...

This week we are whisked away to the land over the rainbow, The Land of Oz, a place free of trouble . . . right? . . . Wrong! The Yellow Brick Road isn't as merry as it sounds, filled with exploding witches, hanging Munchkins, and a poisoned Tin Man, Oh My! Join us as we discuss 1939's 'The Wizard of Oz', its original children's novel (By L. Frank Baum), Technicolour and the questionable message i...

Fasten your seatbelts and tighten those lug nuts because Jordan and Jacob are taking you on a nostalgic drive down Route 66 to have a Ka-Chat about Pixar's 2006 animated feature, 'Cars'. This week the pair aren't taking any shortcuts as we discuss the making of the film from the roaring passion and attention to detail behind every frame to the real-world inspirations for the film's narrative. And...

Go on, get your hats! Because Jordan and Jacob are heading back to the 1940s to watch John Huston's 1941 Noir/Crime film, 'The Maltese Falcon'. Join us in our hunt for the answers behind questions of greed and power, chaos and order, love and lust, truth and lies . . . and why exactly people from 1941 talk like that. Will this episode contain the rarest of jewels and gold? Or perhaps we will be st...

"Little high, little low! Little hey, little ho!" scream Jordan and Jacob as they welcome you to the Little House to discuss a strange film, Stuart Little, adapted from an even stranger book (By E. B. White). Where only an out of touch, upper class family would think of adopting a mouse. And only two fools would dare attempt to discuss the social commentary of this. But hey, It's New York, forget...

Here's Johnny! . . . No? Oh. Here's Jordan and Jacob! Here to discuss Stanley Kubrick's 1980's cult classic film, 'The Shining'. Join us as we attempt to unravel the mysteries, intentions and meanings of the film, all while comparing and contrasting its two different cuts and critiquing Wendy's baseball bat skills. All talk and all play this week, but we promise we aren't dull boys! Ask Tony! He'l...

Cowabunga dudes! This week we venture into the sewers of New York to hang out with the heroes in a half shell, the Ninja Turtles! Specifically to discuss their 2023 (Seth Rogen produced) animated feauture. Join us as we talk about our previous encounters with the lean, grean, ninja team, their connections to the larger landscape of pop culture (Ferris Bueller, Daredevil and beyond) and all the she...

Join us as we discuss 2023's surprise hit film 'Talk to Me', its creators Danny and Michael Philippou (aka RackaRacka on YouTube), the Australian film industry and a deep dive into the film itself. Also of course, the usual shenanigans . . . did we really ride kangaroos to school? Timecodes : Intro / Brief Thoughts (0:00-11:34) Danny and Michael Philippou / Origins of the Film (11:35-29:55) Talk t...

In this week's episode Jordan and Jacob talk all things Bee Movie, from Jerry Seinfeld's surprising true inspirations behind the film to the stakes of babies falling over.
