Cocaine Bear Mar 06, 2023

Show notes

Special guest Mike Overhulse from the Mad Men Men podcast joins the show while Jon is on vacation and thank goodness. Jon can't handle Cocaine Bear. He's not cool enough to hang at that Cocaine Bear party. Elizabeth Banks, director of Cocaine Bear, went out of her way to leave Jon off the invite list for Cocaine Bear. Fortunately, Will and Mike are here to talk about Cocaine Bear.

Skinamarink Feb 16, 2023

Show notes

Some people would say Cinemaholics is a nightmare, too. This week on the show, we finally review Skinamarink, an experimental micro-budget indie horror film that has seen relatively huge box office success thanks to a viral online push. And now it's on Shudder! We start the show with a brief review of Magic Mike: The Last Dance, which Will recently watched. Plus we relitigate our long-standing debate on whether or not it's sacrilegious to watch horror movies in the morning.

Show Notes:

00:00:00 – Magic Mike: The Last Dance mini review
00:13:15 – Skinamarink review

Knock at the Cabin Feb 09, 2023

Show notes

Sure, we're split on this movie, but it's not the end of the world...right? This week on Cinemaholics, we review Knock at the Cabin, the latest feature film from writer/director M. Night Shyamalan, which is based on the book The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul G. Tremblay. Starring Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, Rupert Grint, and more, Knock at the Cabin sure has a lot of critics answering the door in some way or another. But what do we think? You'll have to "Make The Choice" and listen to find out.

80 for Brady Feb 08, 2023

Show notes

Special guest Cory Woodroof joins the show for a bonus review of 80 for Brady, a new senior comedy produced by Tom Brady that is all about...Tom Brady! Taking a step back in time to the 2017 Super Bowl, when Brady was still with the New England Patriots, 80 for Brady is more than just a vanity project. It's a vanity project from Paramount Pictures! The film stars Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, and Sally Field, along with Billy Porter, Rob Corddry, Alex Moffat, and (you guessed it) Guy Fieri.

Top 10 Films of 2022 Jan 19, 2023

Show notes

With a new year upon us, it's time to reflect back on our favorite movies of 2022. As usual, we discuss which films fell into our respective lists and why, plus we dig into honorable mentions and general thoughts on the year at large. From intimate animated re-imaginings like Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio to the long-awaited return of Todd Field with Tár, 2022 had no shortage of stellar movies to sift through. Especially if you wanted to see them in a packed theater.

A Man Called Otto Jan 12, 2023

Show notes

The Upside called and wants its January counter-programming American remake marketing campaign back. That's right, we're reviewing A Man Called Otto this week, which hits wide release tomorrow through Sony/Columbia. The Pittsburgh-set movie stars Tom Hanks as (you guessed it) Otto, and the Cinemaholics have a wonderful time debating Hanks' performances over the last year. We also discuss (briefly) Marc Forster's filmography thus far and how this new movie compares to A Man Called Ove, the original Swedish adaptation of the book by Fredrik Backman.

M3GAN Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

This year's January horror blockbuster isn't child's play. Dollhouse? No, it's from Blumhouse! That's right, this week we're welcoming M3GAN into The Hollywood franchise family. Directed by Gerard Johnstone (Housebound) and written by Akela Cooper (Malignant), M3GAN stars Allison Williams as a genius toy inventor who tests out a life-size doll with artificial intelligence on her depressed niece (Violet McGraw). Hijinks ensue! We discuss the film's surprisingly brilliant marketing campaign, and we may or may not overanalyze the emotional intelligence of this seemingly disposable schlock. We had fun, basically.
