    About this Episode

    Slip on your blue suede shoes, check in to the Heartbreak Hotel, and join Cinema Royale for a review of Baz Luhrmann’s diamond-studded Elvis biopic! Of course, this being a Luhrmann joint, it ain’t no ordinary rock music biopic, more like a superhero origin story with Austin Butler as the heroic Presley and Tom Hanks as the evil Col. Tom Parker! Joining me to talk about the film is fellow Luhrmann fan, Julian Lytle!

    All of this, plus we pick the best Marvel hero for Baz Luhrmann to make a movie about, and discuss the director’s recut Australia as a limited series!

    You get this and more, of course! You can subscribe to Cinema Royale wherever you get your podcasts, and be sure to do the same on Youtube! Follow the Punch Drunk Critics and Cinema Royale!

    Does BOB MARLEY_ ONE LOVE Do The Reggae Legend Justice?

    Does BOB MARLEY_ ONE LOVE Do The Reggae Legend Justice?
    In this episode of Cinema Royale, my partner in crime Tim Gordon joins me to lend his expertise on Bob Marley: One Love, the musical biopic on the legendary reggae star. Why has the film received so much backlash from longtime Marley fans? We talk about the choice that all filmmakers must make when doing a biopic on a music superstar. Do you work with the estate and get their cooperation, in exchange for a sanitized subject? Or do you go it alone and possibly have an unauthorized, hard-hitting movie with musical rights and little outside cooperation? It's a tough call, but one that has needed to be made many times recently.

    Is MADAME WEB Really That Bad?

    Is MADAME WEB Really That Bad?
    On this week's episodes of Cinema Royale, we're delving into the Spider-Verse! Not the good Spider-Verse of Sony's animated Miles Morales movies. But the crappy Spider-Verse where Madame Web dwells alongside Morbius and Venom 2 and probably Kraven the Hunter. Yes, we're talking Madame Web with my home Chris Bumbray of Joblo.com! We need to hash out how Sony got this so damn wrong!? And we also start talking about how terrible the start to 2024 has been, and some other crap movies on the way.
