We're talking big time bluffs in this week's review. What was your favorite bluff from The Card Counter, was it the first one or maybe the third one? But it's not all about bluffs this week, we've got big birthday news. So big you probably wont believe it. Oh it's true and it's of Jurassic proportions. Also this week we've got an interesting trailer of the week and a special listener creates a new...

The week we go chasing the high the Free Solo brought us and check out The Alpinist. Does it live up to it's predecessor? You'll have to listen to find out.

We have a lot to say about Shang-Chi and don't worry we'll get to it, but first we have to talk about Paramount's big mess up and a literal sandstorm of Dune news.

It's all about memories this episode. Not that it was planned but there's a bunch of fun memories from past episodes dug up during this week's show. Unironically we review a movie all about memory Reminiscence AND we take a look at the thriller/horror flick The Night House. Don't think that's all though! We also go over what might be the trailer of the summer! Big talk, I know.   Be a part of the...

Who would have guessed that this week's heated discussion would be about Clint Eastwood? Not me! But before we get into that we also discuss Disney's "great experiment", what it's like to be married to a Hall-of-Famer, and The Batman trailer...again.   Be a pert of the show!

Sometimes we have controversy in the news, sometimes it's in the trailer, and every now and then it's in our movie review, BUT this time we've got controversy in all parts of the show! Can we agree on the best trailers? Do we both know our John Carpenter films? Did we love or hate Old? These questions will burn in your mind for the entirety of the show. Well at least until we address them.   Be a...

We have so much to go over this week and we have to do it with little to no shenanigans! The big man is listening now and we can't be caught goofing off.

People are coming out in waves to see Black Widow in theaters and loving it! We get into how well the movie is doing and could it have done even better?

As you all know we're not ones to joke around, but let me tell you this week we have at least one joke for you. Don't get spoiled now, this might not happen again.

Also this week we experience our first ever dueling trailers. What is a dueling trailer? Tun...

It may feel like it took forever to get here but have not doubt F9 is speeding into theaters. But that's not all we have to talk about!

We may be reviewing The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard this week but it seems like all we can talk about is The Suicide Squad. From a new trailer to announcements on if it's DCEU cannon, it's constantly coming up. Don't worry though because it's not the only thing going on this week. Penn's got a problem with a certain type of genre's trailers and David demands to know where his emails are. Plus all th...

This week we take a look into the long awaited musical In The Heights and we are not disappointed.

Sometimes distance can push two people apart, but not here at The Penn Cinema Podcast! That's right, Penn comes to us live all the way from Las Vegas this week.

Plus we have some interesting dev...

Are we living the dream? Not any more! This week we've got a tough race for trailer of the week, hot off the press Dune news, and we take a riveting look at A Quiet Place 2.

Also Penn learns some new ways to greet people and struggles to deal with the fact that there's no Dune news this week.   Be a part of the show by emailing...

Did someone order a jam packed episode full of news, crazy trailer talk, a rave review of Here Today, and about 400 tangent stores? No? You sure, cause I've got the order right here.

This week we take a look at Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan. No wait, that's night right. We saw Wrath of Man, not Khan. Easy mistake. Can Penn's BFF Jason Statham bring home the bacon with this flick? Not many trailers this week, but there's more then enough to say about them. Too much some might say.  Also, we received a trivia game from our listeners. Will we pass with flying colors or crash and...
