The Penn Cinema Podcast

We're back!!! That's right our first offical vacation where both of us stepped away from things. But that doesn't mean we weren't thinking about you. No not at all. This week we're playing catch up on all the news, boat load of trailers, and movies we missed while away. Up for discussion is A Quiet Place: Day One, Horizon: An American Saga, Kinds of Kindness, and Daddio. And we're not even chargin...

It's been a tremendous weekend for Pixar, Disney, and animation as a whole as Inside Out 2 has the second biggest animated opening ever. So it's suiting that we have a couple banger animation trailers to go over this week as well. Plus someone's sister thinks their some sort of detective, nay judge and jury. But about what or should I say whom? You'll have to listen to find out! Two special notes...

We may have a record breaking short news section this week, but the trailers were packing a punch. Plus the Bad Boys are back? Is this a good or bad things?

In a big first for the podcast not a single stunt man was used in the making of this episode. And with the risks higher then ever we covered a sprinkle of news, a slathering of trailers, and a downpour of Fall Guy critique.

This week we spent our precious moments of life on Madame Web and there are definitely thoughts to be shared. Thankfully the Super Bowl left us with buffet of great new trailers to talk about.

Listen to the end of the show to fi...

So many trailers to talk about this week and so little news. And keep in mind we recorded this before the Super Bowl so next week's trailers are going to be insane! But let's not get ahead of ourselves here. We're taking a look at Argyle which may or may not be a part of a bigger cinematic universe and may or may not have more twists in it then a Twizzlers. Opinions fly fast and high on this one....

The Beekeeper is one of those movies with an extremely predictable plot, yet why is it doing surprisingly well? Also on this episode a new leaf is turned over with the definition of "movie" and a hidden rap talent is revealed. Is the world ready?   Be a part of the show! Email us at Podcast@PennCinema.com

You read that right. We're changing things up here and instead of doing Top Ten lists we're doing our Top Ends list. What does that mean? Well on a scale of 1-10 1-5 are you top 5 movies of the year with 1 being the best, but then 6-10 are you most hated movies of the year subsequently with 10 being the worst. Plus we have a lot more things to talk about this week like some great letters from you...

Something's wrong with our system! It appears we've been infiltrated by 2023 nostalgia!!! Only one nefarious pirate of the airwaves could be behind something like this.... The Abacus!   A big thanks for Roland Smoker for listening to way to much of this show and helping us out with this look back at 2023 and so much more. Be a part of the show!

Welcome to our holiday special! We had a lot to rave about with Wonka and one of us even called it a "Perfect Movie". Is there even such a thing?

We highly recommend you look up and watch each one we review this week.   Be a part of the show! Email us at Podcast@PennCinema.com
