Rocky III Watch-Along Feb 19, 2024

Show notes

The Cine-Files' Steve Morris and John Rocha bring you a special watchalong episode of Rocky III in honor of the great Carl Weathers who passed away just a few days ago. This is one of our favorite films and one that we felt really showed the magnetic charm of Carl Weathers as Apollo Creed. In the film, Apollo steps in after Clubber Lang (Mr. T) has destroyed Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), taken his title and inadvertently caused the death of Mickey, Rocky's longtime trainer. Apollo changes Rocky's fighting style with the help of Duke (Tony Burton), Adrian (Talia Shire) and Paulie (Burt Young) and prepares him to face Clubber Lang in the rematch for the title. It's a great one! Usually, our monthly watchalongs are reserved for our Patrons only, but we felt that this was a unique situation so we made it available to everybody. Hopefully you enjoy our conversation and a sample of one of the benefits you get every month as a patron of The Cine-Files.

John Rocha and Steve Morris return to the world of Henry Hill and the Mafia as things fall apart in part three of their exploration of Martin Scorsese's organized crime masterpiece, Goodfellas. At this point, all the romance of the gangster life is gone as the distrust, greed, violence and drug induced paranoia gains momentum towards a tragic end.

7 Days of Love from The Cine-Files: The Birdcage Feb 11, 2024

Show notes

The Cine-Files' Steve Morris and John Rocha continue their 7 Days of Love leading up to Valentine's Day on the 14th with today's re-release of their episode on The Birdcage with special guest The Geek Buddies' Michael Vogel! One of the best adaptations from the original source material La Cage aux Folles, this delightful, hilarious and vibrant comedy stars the late Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, Gene Hackman, Dianne Weist, Calista Flockhart, and the über talented Hank Azaria. A film that blends fish out of water comedy and mistaken identity comedy and pratfall comedy effortlessly as it also tackles the issues of gay marriage, having gay parents, meeting your siginifcant other's family for the first time, being proud of who you are and were you come from AND how to deal with people who disagree with you WITHOUT being disagreeable. Truly one of Mike Nichols' best directorial efforts and one we loved discussing here on this episode. So Happy Valentine's Day, Cine-Files fans, and enjoy our chat on The Birdcage!

7 Days of Love from The Cine-Files: Brief Encounter Feb 10, 2024

Show notes

Our exploration of the world of Romance continues with David Lean's classic tale of unrequited love, Brief Encounter. This very British film, tells the story of two happily married strangers who find true love in a chance encounter at railway station. If they were less honorable people things might have gone very differently but the, fact is, they both care about their spouses, their families and the lives they've built. Watching them struggle with their passions is one of the most romantic and tragic stories ever put on film.
