We're alive! and we've brought an old friend! Recorded live from Oscar's apartment we talk about the 96th Annual Academy Awards. Who got snubbed? What films are the most overrated? And does Julianne Moore have enough hot dogs? Its another Oscars with Oscar!
One of our shortest episodes ever. What does that say about how we felt about Phil Tippett's opus? Guess you'll just have to listen in.
“I don't know. I feel like I should just stop... You know? Just stop thinking about it, but I can't. Maybe I've seen too many movies, you know? Love at first sight. What do you think about love at first sight? You think you could love somebody by just looking at them? But the thing is, man, I felt like I knew her.”
For our semi regularly scheduled programming, Trevor brings in yet another Derek Cianfrance film, Blue Valentine. Guaranteed to both make you laugh and crush your soul in equal measures. So listen in as we bring on another special guest (Tyler) for an episode that will have you second guessing love, or maybe just your confusing and conflicted feelings of love for Ryan Gosling.
Three movies in one episode?! That's riight! This time it's three times the action, three times the comedy and three times the Jackie...Jackie Chan that is! It's the super star's seminal works, The first three Police Story movies. Jackie performs some of his greatest stunts and costars with future Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh in Police Story 3: Supercop.
Getting back on track with our regularly scheduled programming, we’re discussing a movie that has the all important “three B’s”… boobs, blood…..and Bacon. A film important for many young boys growing up in the late 90’s….for several reasons. Listen in as we discuss 1998’s erotic noir thriller classic, Wild Things.
Few filmmakers are as influential as the great Orson Welles. Few are as infamous. A man of magic, lies and art, Welles brings to light three fakers, one being himself in our first documentary. A documentary that observes the fakeness of art, the fakeness of "experts" and whether or not truth should get in the way of a good story. This week we return to the Criterion Collection with F for Fake!
What's cooler than cool? It's Ice, baby! Sneak a peak at a taste of the early 90s and drop those zeros and get with our hero, Robert Van Winkle. Check out his fight skills that rival Steven Seagal and his detective skills that rival Walker Texas Ranger. But what does he do in his down time? He's just coolin' but don't be trippin' and skippin' this episode because it's Cool as Iccccccce!
Instead of describing our Swiss Army Man episode, I thought we should hear from the critics of the movie:
"Incredible and not in a good way." says Wendy Ide of the Observer (UK)
"By the end, having failed in its attempt at cleverness, the movie veers into sentiment, the inevitable last resort. The movie fails at that, too." raves Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle
"Dano, as a dude who washes up on a desert island, and Radcliffe, as a farting corpse, go their own nutter way. This is such a baller of a movie that you keep wishing it would be better than it is." cries Peter Travers of Rolling Stone
The 95th Annual Academy Awards are Sunday and in order to talk about it properly Mike and Trevor bring in their Oscar expert, Oscar. We go through all 23 categories and explain what the Academy forgot, what they got wrong, who we think should win and who we think will win.
Who will win best Actor, Hot Austin or Fat Fraser? Who will win best director, a couple of Daniels or a man who's been here before? And what is My Year of Dicks actually about?
Listen quick before the ceremony or wait until the results are announced and see who got the most predictions right!
Let me tell you the story of Right Hand/Left Hand. For it was with the right hand (LOVE) that actor Charles Laughton directed Robert Mitchum in one of his scariest performances in a film based on a controversial book and it was the left hand (HATE) that critics struck down the first time director's directing career. But wait a minute! As time went on, 1955's The Night of the Hunter became a beloved classic by filmmakers and movie lovers everywhere.
But who does Mike and Trevor agree with? With the lovers or the haters?
This might be the most controversial episode of Cinephilia to date!
On a very special episode of Cinephilia, Mike and Trevor talk about possibly the most underrated movie of 2022, Babylon. It's the unique tale of Hollywood's struggle with the introduction of sound.
Nothing good happens after 2 AM!
WatchMojo called it the most underrated movie of all time...twice. Mike and Trevor talk about one of Martin Scorsese's least talked about movies. It's one crazy night in SoHo that will have you screaming Surrender Dorothy!
New Year

As a new year begins, Mike and Trevor look back at not only the best cinema had to offer in 2022 but the movies they talked about in the first 37 episodes. Who brought in the better movies? What did they pick for the best of the year? Where is Tressa's mic? Why were there so many 3 hour movies in 2022? And How did Quincy Jones get Martin Scorsese to direct the Bad video?
All this and more in our first episode of 2023!
You guys give up or are you thirsty for more?
That’s right! The second part of our Home Alone Christmas extravaganza is finally here. It’s another Christmas in the trenches with Kevin, and Mike and Trevor slowly start to lose it as they continue to record their longest episode ever but now you get two episodes for the price of one. And as always, keep the change you filthy animal
To put a bow on our “favorite Christmas movies” series of films, we will be discussing the one, the only, ultimate in Christmas entertainment and home invasion punishment, home alone. Since our love for the first two films exceeds the length of most people’s patience for a single podcast episode, we will be splitting the episode into two for your listening pleasure!
Keep the change, you filthy animals…
And a happy new year.
