The CineMEH Podcast

This is it! The final Godzilla appearance in the CineMeh Podcast timeline for a while, and... just... DAMN what a Godzilla movie this is. Going 'back to its roots,' Godzilla Minus One takes host Josh and co-host Ryan to post-World War II Japan, in the wreckage of fire-bombed Tokyo, following a disgraced Japanese pilot trying to find purpose in life after the war. Captions guy kinda doesn&#...

Ya know who looks an AWFUL lot like Scarlet Witch? Exorcism lady. Oh, I should correct this: Exorcism lady from the Conjuring franchise, not the original horror classic of the 1970s. I only bring this up, because it took co-host Ryan several watch throughs of this movie to realize that Vera Farmiga is, in fact, NOT Elizabeth Olsen, and his confusion should be the source of a lifetime of ridicule....

To bake a Shin Godzilla: 1 Parts Japanese Kaiju metaphor for atomic destruction 1 Parts Aaron Sorkin political thriller 1 Parts Joseph Campbell high concept social satire 1 Parts Early 2000s found footage horror Blend all parts at high speed, then HIGHER SPEED, until fully combined, let stand for two hours. What a WEIRD movie this is. But also: what a WONDERFUL movie this is. As we transition into...

Since this movie doesn't do it for you: WARNING: VIEWERS WHO ARE PHOTOSENSITIVE SHOULD AVOID THE FIRST ALL OF THIS MOVIE Okay, but seriously, if you are photosensitive, don't watch the credits for this movie. Maybe don't watch this movie. Or maybe do watch this movie and realize how much better your life is for it. Josh called this one from a million miles away. His cohost Ryan likes t...

Alright, Cinephiles, I'm not even going to bury the lead on this one. Josh told Ryan this is considered one of the greatest Godzilla films of all time, if not one of THE greatest films of all time period, noting, in particular, that it currently boasts a Rotten Tomatoes score of an immaculate 100% 100% Rotten Tomatoes score. One of the greatest films of all time, ever. .......ACCORDING TO SIX...

The answer ALEX TREBEK (rest his soul, saints preserve us) gave was "A hybrid film combining elements of James Bond spy movies, fifties atomic invasion cinema, and an extended musical break." The question was... What is "Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla"? In the second instalment of our Godzilla Eras Tour (no relation to the Taylor Swift tour, this refers to the Godzilla eras and how...

If you came here for Taylor Swift, we're serving up a different monster of entertainment (monster in his case being a good thing, like, you know how the eras tour was a monster tour that was incredibly successful and, like, a big huge thing? I've over-explained this) IT'S A WHOLE GODZILLA MINI EVENT! And as far as mini events go- this one is pretty massive. We're running down a fea...

Josh is back from Greece, and he brought stories with him of the birthplace of the gawds! Tune and to hear tales of mythology, travel, lore and a hilariously out of date but still somehow topically relevant because-time-is-a-flat-circle discussion of the Coldplay kiss cam incident! Is the entire professional world a joke and all of these executives unserious scam artists? We think so! But really,...

One, two Krampus’s watching you Three, four Svartalfr at your door Five, six He’s got a switch of sticks Seven, eight You’re gonna end in chains Nine, ten Christmas’s at an end… Cheer......... or fear?

It’s ALL been building towards THIS! MAXIMUM EFFORT! In our final installment of The CineMEH Podcast presents Marvel’s Deadpool movies as created by Fox , we are excited to bring you… Deadpool and Wolverine! Josh and Ryan go on a final extended rant about the the Marvel properties before Disney got them in their Mickey gloves, what the future of the multiverse is, and whether or not this was actua...

What’s better than ONE Marvel’s Deadpool movie?! Two Marvel’s Deadpool movies! Please note that Marvel did not actually release the Deadpool movies, they are in fact Fox properties, but we’ll be damned if we do anything at all that raises the profile of THAT fallen empire. Josh and Ryan are back in part two of our Marvel’s Deadpool series with the aptly titled… Deadpool 2! Co-starring a guy you co...

Guess what, sports fans, your two favorite hosts are back in your ear-holes! It’s Ryan and Captain Josh (what? what’s that? oh, sorry)— It’s Ryan and Josh back at it again! Only this time, they’re playing shamelessly, cynically, and inopportunely to the algorithm. That’s right! Josh and Ryan are convinced if they just put ‘Marvel’ enough times in the show notes, more people will listen and they’ll...

WE ARE THE CINEMEH PODCAST AND WE'RE HERE TO RAWK YOU! It's episode 2 of our MidSummer Mini Marathon where Josh and Ryan take on some of each other's favorite movies! This week, we're dropping a quarter in the arcade machine, plugging in our duct-tape repaired bass, and packing our map of Toronto, because we're headed into the cult-classic territory of fine Canadian cinema with...

Have you lost that lovin' feeling for your two favorite podcast hosts this side of Fightertown, USA? Well take a ride on our mighty wings straight into the danger zone, because we've got the need to read....... a variety of trivia facts about our favorite movies.

It's the season finale of Season 4 The CineMeh Podcast! And on hand to go out with style is our biggest episode of the season! A movie so tremendously long, it felt like it went on forever! So incredibly lengthy, it seemed to never end! A movie that felt like... an eternity? It's Marvel's Eternals. That's right! This week on CineMeh, Josh and Ryan are delving into the Marvel Cinema...

Welcome to this season's CAGE MATCH, Bangkok Dangerous and Other Films of Dubious Quality! This week on The CineMEH Podcast , Josh and Ryan take on what might be, officially, the absolute peak of midness, the height of mediocrity, the zenith of 'it's fine,' the top of the mountain for 'meh' vibes... 2008's Bangkok Dangerous. And yes, we almost immediately become distrac...

What's the term for when a piece of media makes a meta-reference to its own inadequacies and then fails to correct those inadequacies? Like, say, theoretically, just for argument's sake, a movie makes a pointed reference regarding how women's ages in Hollywood are often and regularly cause for them to be marginalized, but then said movie tries to actively age down its female lead by tw...

I'll take obscure 80's film for 500, Pat. And the answer is: Streets of Fire What is an action noir starring Michael Pare and Willem Dafoe? Oh, I'm sorry, not quite, anyone else want to take a crack at it? What is a romantic drama starring Diane Lane? Mm, close, but we're looking for something different, one more try? What is a musical comedy starring Rick Moranis? Nope, that wasn&...

It's a well worn trope, but this week we're doing the ol' "never be a hitman with a girlfriend and a fiance who participates in an unsanctioned kidnapping and accidentally steals the goddaughter of his hit boss and falls in love with her too," story. A tired chestnut, perhaps, but a reliable one. This week on The CineMeh Podcast Josh and Ryan are going hardcore 90s with this...

Nope, sorry, listeners, it's not THAT Lord of the Rings... it's the other Lord of the Rings. Oh, you didn't know there was another Lord of the Rings? From the 1970s? Well, come into our Hobbit hole and lend an ear! J.R.R. Tolkien did a lot of things brilliantly, naming the homes of Hobbits 'holes' was not one of them. Moving on. This week on The CineMeh Podcast , Josh and Ryan...

When the skies are filling with black, apocalyptic clouds and locusts, what do you do? Well, if you're Jeep Hanson in 2010's dark modern fantasy Legion , you stare at it blankly for a moment before casually going back to whatever you were doing before and telling absolutely no one. This week on The CineMeh Podcast , Josh and Ryan puzzle their way through an astonishingly inept tale of good...

Life is nothing but a slap in the face, so goes the song. So goes the race. The rat race, that is to say. As in the 2001 ensemble slapstick comedy loosely based on a 1963 ensemble slapstick comedy, Rat Race. Except Rat Race isn't almost four hours long. And yet, somehow, it's still far too long. This week on The CineMEH Podcast , Josh and Ryan are discussing the nuances of this blistering...

Were you looking to see a film adaptation of the previously unreleased, unannounced, and undeveloped Assassin's Creed: Viva Le France ?! Then you've come to the right place, because this week, we've got a high-flying clock punk classic for you on our hands! On this episode of The CineMEH Podcast , Josh and Ryan cover the 2011 interpretation of The Three Musketeers helmed by acclaimed v...

Get chased by T. Rex! Oh, wait... Run in the herd of Gallimimus! No, hang on... Marvel at the colors of the Dilophosaur! Damn, just a second... Okay, none of those things happen in this week's episode, but it's still a Jurassic Park movie, so that counts for something. This week on The CineMEH Podcast , Josh and Ryan are going back 65 million years to the age of 2001 with Jurassic Park 3 ,...
