We celebrate Star Wars day by looking at the film that almost destroyed Star Wars, two decades before the Rise of Skywalker tried it again. In 1999 The Phantom Menace pod raced its way into the canon, leaving a carnage of controversy in its wake and inspiring legions of terrible prequels, sequels, and squeakquels. Now join us with special guest Jos…

Enterprising columnist John Grogan (Josh Groban?) slowly unravels, ignoring wife, children, and familial responsibility alike in favor of obsessively devoting inches of column space to the outsized impact of a yellow lab on his life.Mr Trumpet by Ketsa is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 License.freemusi…

We sit down and really get into Warcraft: The Motion Picture, the film that failed to be Lord of the Rings or Avatar, and tried to insert race relations into a simple story about Orcs and humans before Bright did it.Mr Trumpet by Ketsa is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 License.freemusicarchive.org/musi…

A mystical artifact turns a mild mannered man into a gruesome monster who attacks his enemies at night. We saw 1994's The Mask starring a manic cartoon character who also plays the titular character. Cameron Diaz wows in her first film role and Max the Dog nearly steals the dang show.Mr Trumpet by Ketsa is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribut…

We discuss a beloved book series that many considered to be unadaptable: that's right it's 1998's Doctor Dolittle. We're a couple of Doctor Domores as we guinea pig out on Jim Henson puppets, CGI'd lips, and kafkaesque incomprehensible language barriers, while learning about those doggone HMOs ruining health care and how to make paw-some new fur-en…

Unreliable narrator Scotty "Smalls" describes the exaggeratedly idyllic greatest summer of his life when all the neighborhood kids and even his stepdad loved him as he gets into the biggest pickle of his life.

Will Smith is his own worst enemy when he agrees to star in Boyz II Gemini Men, a reflection of a simulacrum of a copy of a clone of a movie.

Whether you're stuck at home because you've displeased the Spirit of Christmas or you photographed a car race overzealously, we can all relate to the common thread of how isolation makes us question the nature of our reality. Listen as we touch on everything from slapstick violence to the mystery of Plato's cave to the trio of angels--a sculptor in…

Meet our hero, Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones, a cruel, unethical, and misogynistic archeologist in the business to loot artifacts and take lives in his endless quest to gain tenure in this unfortunate prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Welcome to the E.L. James Cinematic Universe in which bad BDSM softcore can somehow make 571 schmillion dollars and we suspend our disbelief that two actors with no chemistry would want to have sex together. Warning: this episode contains more sex references than usual and the plot discussed does contain an abusive Master/slave relationship.Mr Trum…

We wet our whistle on the hottest summer blockbuster of 2019; that's right, we saw Kevin Costner's Waterworld, a swashbuckling adventure on the post-apocalyptic high seas featuring fleets of jet skis, a very grumpy merman, and offensive gender politics. Almost as enjoyable as converting your own urine into potable water.Mr Trumpet by Ketsa is licen…

Journey back to the enchanted island of giant reptile murders as we watch Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the 5th and worst film in the franchise.Autor: Cinamazing Chats

We journey through the Internet tubes to the Matrix simulacrum of autumn in New York. It's You've Got Mail, Nora Ephron's influential romantic comedy with all of the 90s tropes and none of the charm. Your heart will melt as creepy, wealthy businessman Tom Hanks stalks Meg Ryan's cloyingly cute, but completely vapid, small bookstore owner, and manip…

Featuring a plot filled with origins, this punktastic take on a 90s comic-arc sees Bryan Singer's attempt to rewrite X-Men continuity post First Class and Days of Future Past to middling retu…

Join Pablo, Erica, and our guest, Joe, as we travel through the stars for a discussion of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, an excessively French film that should have starred Rihanna, but instead stars two adult children. The most expensive independent movie of all time, Valerian comes ripped off from the same comic as was Star Wars, th…

In Part III of our 2018 Oscar series, we discuss Get Out, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, and The Shape of Water.

It's part one in a three-part series, in which we discuss all of the films nominated for Best Picture at the stuffy, overly formal 2018 90th Academy Awards to save you from having to bore your own pants off. Pablo takes on the persona of Paula Abdul as Erica goes full Simon Cowell to chat about a great deal of melodramatic period pieces. This episo…

It's Ryan Reynolds in his pre-Deadpool, unsuccessful comic book movie phase and Jeff Bridges doing his very best Yosemite Sam impression in a movie that can be best compared to Howard the Duck as equal parts lazily derivative as it is totally fucked up, in 2013's R.I.P.D.Credits:"Escape on a Flatbed"Exzel Music Publishing (www.freemusicpublicdomain…

It's a low-intensity, high-stakes Lolita homage disguised as a disaster film in a sequel that even Keanu Reeves knew to skip, in Speed 2, a film that safely plays by the rules and doesn't take any unnecessary chances! Thrill as Willem Dafoe tries again and again to mildly annoy human charisma-suck Jason Patric, including the slowest jet ski chase e…

Join us for a festive Halloween as we discuss the spine-tingling tale of a young alien kidnapped by human children and forced to endure Americana until he can cobble together a phonecall to his home planet and ask them to blow up earth post-haste.

We're not in Kansas anymore as we head to the funked up world of Jupiter Ascending. Whether it's bestiality, the virtues of lies, or Best Actor Oscar Winner Eddie Redmayne chewing the hell out of some scenery, Jupiter Ascending has everything, except for a compelling plot or characters.Credits:"Escape on a Flatbed"Exzel Music Publishing (www.freemu…

Twenty-three is everywhere--it's a conspiracy! And we watched the film that explores the 23 enigma, The Number 23, which is so needlessly confusing and convoluted that it is truly a horror to behold, just like the malevolent number 23. (Did you know that there are two words in Cinamazing Chats, and "C" is the third letter of the alphabet? 23!!)Cred…

Adam Sandler stars in this bizarre misstep from Tom McCarthy. As Sandler explores the possibilities of magical shoes that turn the wearer into another person, we watch in agape horror as the film manages to offend just about everyone. We will explore the moral dubiousness of his "hilarious" antics, as well as the possible origins of the film, and w…

We discuss the bleak, existential technicolor nightmare that is Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, a haunting parable about assisted suicide as well as a truly mediocre kids' film.Credits:"Escape on a Flatbed"Exzel Music Publishing (www.freemusicpublicdomain.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/…

What could be more American than a true classic as we discuss Con Air.
