Cinema Sesh

If you've ever found something antique in your attic, you know that you have to handle it with care. It's part of your history and it's has sentimental value, if not monetary value. So to make a movie based on a classic, beloved franchise requires a deft and caring hand. Did Ron Howard preserve this galactic Ming vase (pronounced the pretentious way, with a long A) or did he fumble-finger it onto the hardwood floor of history? In this fun and spoiler-filled episode, Jay and AJ jump into the pilot seats of the Millennium Falcon! They discuss the new lore of the Star Wars spin-off, the logic of the Kessel Run and how this new Han Solo (played by Alden Ehrenreich) measures up! Still Shorter than Chewbacca, of course! So strap in, turn off your 3-D chess boards and stow your blasters while we blast off into our Solo: A Star Wars Story Sesh!   Email us questions, comments or your favorite card games to cinemasesh@gmail.com !

There comes a time in everyone's life where you have to decide what's right and what you're willing to do for the good of the world. Where you have to decided if sacrificing everyone and everything you love is worth the reward. And that is why we are releasing this podcast so late. We also had to save the universe from some purple dude with bling...You're welcome. The whole* Avengers crew is here: Iron Man, Cap, Black Panther...haha you thought we were going to list them all. We don't have enough characters! Unlike this movie! Jay and AJ talk about the seemingly impossible task the Russo brothers were given in directing this behemoth of a movie, which characters' arc we enjoyed the most and who, in fact, is the protagonist of the movie. Collect those infinity stones (watch all the previous movies**) before you settle in for this sesh on Avengers: Infinity War! *Not all the Avengers are in this movie. **You don't actually have to watch all the movies Follow us Socially on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook @CinemaSesh Email us with questions, comments or ideas for soundproofing at cinemasesh@gmail.com And finally Subscribe!

Shhhh. They're all around us. They can hear the faintest sound. They'll hunt us until they find us and then...the unthinkable. We need to stay silent. We need to keep each other safe and survive. Better listen to this episode with headphones... On this episode of Cinema Sesh, Jay and AJ tiptoe through the horror film John Krazinski directed, wrote and stars in with Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe. They discuss (quietly) what it would be like to exist in this meticulously built world, the use of silence vs. score and the importance of high stakes in a suspense thriller. So ease carefully into your couch and forget the popcorn (the crunch is too loud) and enjoy A Quiet Place Sesh.

Dealing with one's family is rough. Dealing with losing family is even rougher. Especially if your long-lost cousin tries to infiltrate your hidden, technologically-advanced African Kingdom and usurp superpower from you that you receive from an ancient flower. It's a tale as old as time.  Jay and AJ are out of the theater and into the studio, talking about the most recent MCU marvel: Black Panther. They discuss the prevalence of CGI world-building in modern movies, the common thread of marvel plots and what makes a good bad guy! So drop in to the secret world of Wakanda with them and enjoy the Black Panther Sesh!   Email us questions, comments or tell us your favorite character in Black Panther to cinemasesh@gmail.com !

Technology is a funny thing: It's just an advanced tool. It's not evil, it's not good; It's what the intention of the being in possession of it that matters. And if, say, an evil monster race of aliens had control of a podcast about movies they could use it to brainwash the listeners...but we wouldn't do that... AJ and Jay (We promise it's really them) jump back into the rift with the Jaegers and maybe some Kaiju? The Sesh boys talk about John Boyega's ability to helm a franchise, the insane names of the Jaegers and the importance of delivery of monsters in a monster movie.

Getting together with friends is super special! Good conversation, good food, good fun! But sometimes you want something more, right? You want to get your mind racing and your blood pumping! Well look no further! Just pretend to get kidnapped! But make sure no one *actually* wants you dead. That might make for an awkward situation! This Jason Bateman/Rachel McAdams-led ensemble throws multiple curveballs into the mix of what could have been just a mediocre comedy. The Sesh boys discuss the dynamics between the pairs of actors, the use of certain unique visual language and the depths of how off-putting Jesse Plemons' character can be. Get a nice charcuterie plate and join Jay and AJ for a Game Night Sesh!

When facing extinction, one must remember to not panic. If one stays calm one can rationalize through the many options available to oneself. If one panics, one will try to kidnap and enslave a bunch of kids for their brain goo to let you live a few more weeks at a time. And that's just mean. Don't Panic. Rounding out the Maze Runner trilogy, the Sesh Boys tackle the most action packed and the most tragic of the movies. Here are some of the riveting highlights: Talking about the logistics of building the Mazes and other massive construction projects in the apocalypse, Which Glader you would want as your backup in battle (Spoiler: It's Minho. He's badass), and How busy were the gods in this movie with all of them Deus Ex Machinas?

The sand whips against your face... The sun beats down on your skin... The zombies pursue you endlessly... Why, oh why, did we decided to spend our vacation in Arizona? The apocalypse is bad enough, and we chose to go to Phoenix? The effects of the Scorch are taking their toll on the Cinema Sesh fellows! They discuss the second Wes Ball Maze Runner film: the pros and cons of the added cast, how the action set pieces are impressive, in spite of the budget, and the logistics of the forces of WCKD! Dust off that sandy popcorn and chow down cause that's the last food you're gonna get in The Scorch Trials!   Email us questions, comments or a secret communique meant for WCKD to cinemasesh@gmail.com Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @cinemasesh

The name Thomas comes from the Aramaic name Ta'oma', meaning twin. When Thomas is introduced to the Maze, he himself is an emotional and psychological maze...and in this labyrinth, he finds his twin! How about that for shoehorning in a metaphor?! Doesn't it feel good to be learning new things? In this dizzying episode, the Sesh begins to tackle The Maze Runner trilogy, starting with it's first chapter, obviously! Jay and AJ discuss the quality of young actors in the film's cast, the logistics of the maze itself and whether the story is a satisfying, self-contained movie on its own.

 We spend a third of our life sleeping. We spend a year and a half of our life on the toilet. And we spend what feels like 110% of our life in transit. The least you could ask from your chosen mode of transportation wouldn't have some sinister conspiracy woven into it. But when that craziness comes at ya, follow our mantra: Be Like Liam.  The Cinema Sesh boys sit down (but only if there's no pregnant or disabled folks waiting for a seat) to discuss Jaume Collet-Serra's latest Liam Neeson-centric thriller. Jay and AJ talk about how to pronounce said director's name, the physics of jumping between train cars and fake news in movies!

Twas two weeks before Xmas and all through the theater, all the nerds with Vader shirts were excited to be-a there. We held our breath as the title cards rolled and cheered when the John Williams timpani tolled. And just as the space was filled with star cruisers, we hoped that as viewers we wouldn't be losers. But what to our wondering eyes should appear, but Poe Dameron and BB8 in the rear. We could go on and on but you'll hear more about what Jay and AJ thought about the new Star Wars movie in this podcast (just not in a poem). They discuss the complexity of ticking clocks in place of tension, how the script served and failed each of the characters and, of course, Porgs. Pour some milk, which ever color you wish, set out some space cookies, and hang out for the The Last Jedi Sesh!

People change all the time. It's a part of life. Sometimes we change careers, like life-or-death gladiator. We make new friends, such as drunken scavengers, rock monsters or bugs with knives for hands. We even have to deal with changing familial dynamics, especially when someone in your family wants to destroy your home planet. But you soldier on, holding on to the fact that you're the God of Thunder. This episode of Cinema Sesh is electric! AJ and Jay discuss the complete reinvention of the look and feel of Marvel's favorite Asgardian, Taika Waititi's directorial foray into the MCU and how awesome Jeff Goldblum is and always will be.

When you were younger did you ever wish you had a nickname? Like  Dan the Man, Danger Dan or Dum Dum Dan? Yeah, I would have chosen Dum Dum for ya Dan. Cause you don't even deserve a nick name. You're dumb. But you know who does deserves their nicknames? The World's Greatest Detective. The Amazing Amazon. The Scarlet Speedster. The Tech Titan. The Aquatic Ace. The Man of... This week, Jay and AJ dive into the highly anticipated superhero team up of the year. They discuss the chemistry between the teammates, the issues our heroes faced in front of and behind the cameras and what it takes to strike a good balance of action and levity.

Dearest Catherine, We are at war. We have a scant amount of food left and my little toes have had to be amputated due to frostbite. The opposing forces are closing in and I fear I will not see the morning. Oh and we're fighting apes. It's a weird war. The war is kind of allegorical and so is this letter. Give my best to the children if they can still understand the human language. Best, Third Infantry Man from the left. There's a lot going on in this movie for Jay and AJ to unpack! They discuss the previous movies, how this one stacks up in the trilogy and where the franchise could go from here! Also, they talk performances within and without motion capture.

When you’re young, a new job can be intimidating. You boss might be a bit overbearing, your coworkers may get frustrated with you and don’t get me started on the super villains. Oh, wait...did you not have super villains at your first job? How about dudes with taser gloves? Robbers with alien tech? Yeah, working at Hot Topic can be rough.   Peter Parker, on the other hand has the coolest after school job ever as Spider-Man in Tom Holland’s first solo outing in the MCU! Jay and AJ take you back over the years of Spider-Man movies we’ve already seen, how well this iteration of Mr. Parker fits into Marvel’s ever-expanding universe and how cool Michael Keaton is as the bad guy!

How do you put together the perfect mix tape? The perfect playlist? The tracks that match like puzzle pieces to the emotion or vibe you're yearning for. You've gotta know what gets you going, gets you pumped. Keep your ears open for songs that light your soul on fire when you hear the first notes. And make sure there's a few tracks with heart pounding beats to bump while you're driving a getaway car! You can always throw a podcast episode into your playlist. Don't worry. It'll totally flow. Like this episode! Jay and AJ discuss Edgar Wright and his impressive body of work. They also talk about the all-star cast, try not to mispronounce Ansel Elgort's name and heap praise on whoever the stunt drivers were in this movie. Seriously, go see it if only for the chase scenes!

Kids have all the fun. They get to play in the dirt, splash around in puddles, build forts and it's not weird if they collect hundreds of toys. But if you're an adult, people look at you weird if you have a full room dedicated to the action figures. Except if you jump up to the next level...except if you're Michael Bay. Then you get to play in the Autobot junkyard, you get to splash around in the Atlantic Ocean, build a gigantic planet fortress and throw in Optimus Primse and as many Transformers that will fit on a screen! But does that equal a good movie? AJ and Jay decide as they discuss Bay's 5th and possibly final installment of Transformers. They guys dig into the decade old franchise, attempting to compare and contrast the 5 movies, do a roll call of the big names that have appeared in the franchise and try to discern if anything in this movie makes sense. Make sure the seat you're in isn't secretly a robot in disguise and settle in for this Sesh of Transformers: The Last Knight.   Email us your own thoughts, questions or hate mail!: cinemasesh@gmail.com      Follow us https://twitter.com/CinemaSesh  https://www.instagram.com/cinemasesh/  

"Somebody please, get this man a gun!"  2x The Gun-Fu - 2x The Keanu AJ and Jay tackle a double dose of John Wick, reviewing and breaking down both installments of the franchise. They talk body count, the concept of catharsis in revenge and the fate of Common! We talk about dogs a little too. Cause how can you not? Such cool dogs!

Now, when I die, don't think I'm a nut. Don't want no fancy funeral, just one like ole King Tut. Seems like a fun process. Get part of your brain yanked out with a hook. Have your vital organs put into separate jars, your eyes get replaced with onions! Thank goodness your already dead! Fun Fact: When you type in 'Process of' into Google, 'mummification' is the first autofill result. Listen, we're gonna level with you. Nothing in this movie is nearly as interesting as that description of mummification AJ found on Google. It's a mess of grayness, CGI zombies and simplistic plot/dialogue. "But guys" you may ask, "the movie couldn't possibly be that bad, could it?". Listen, far be it from us to dissuade you from going to the cinema and pumping currency into our economy which it desperately needs, but maybe go see...anything else. We discuss this movie, for longer than we probably should and more in depth than it deserves, because we sacrifice for our fans. You're welcome.

They say never meet your heroes. Thank goodness Emmy Award Winning Jim O'Heir isn't AJ's hero!  (Full disclosure, this blurb is being written in the third person by AJ so it's kind of surreal. Also, no need to take any of this seriously.)  Actually, AJ considers Jim, who played Jerry Gergich on Parks and Rec, a good friend who he feels honored to joke around with. If only Jim would relax that darn restraining order on him! But really though, Jim is a prince of a man. Which is a coincidence because he has a Prince Albert! He forced AJ to look at it during the interview. Because Jim doesn't wear pants during interviews. Look it up. Jim is promoting an exciting new movie, Middle Man! It's out in theaters June 9th 2017! Catch it around the country in limited release! Which is rare for Jim. He usually demands full release. All joking aside, Jim is an absolutely wonderful guy; nice, caring and funny. You won't find a more genuine dude. And he genuinely dislikes AJ! It's kind of amazing we got this interview at all. Jim is fantastic.

Who has ever wished they could go back in time? See the world of yesteryear, experience a younger, more innocent world. One with fewer rights for everyone who wasn't white and male, no penicillin and a complete lack of internet. Actually that sounds incredibly awful. The only good thing is that Kyle, that jerk from work, wouldn't have been born yet.  Let's face it, folks. War is hell. But you know what makes it better? Superheroines! In the newest installment of the DCEU, we join Diana Prince AKA Wonder Woman AKA Gal Gadot as she kicks ass across Europe during World War I or, as your great grandparents knew it at the time, "The Great War". I honestly don't see what was so great about it. Join Jay and AJ as they break down the whole story, the CGI and their favorite moments of the film.

With the tide high and the wind at our backs, we once again grab the wheel and point our ship toward wherever adventure takes us. Will we search for some magical treasure? Or fight some cursed pirates? Or retread the same tropes of the first four movies? All compasses point to maybe.  AJ and Jay have loved the pirate franchise since they both saw Curse of the Black Pearl when it premiered on AJ's birthday in 2003. They've stuck with these characters for 14 years and five movies. But now, with the end on the horizon, how will the possible final chapter of Captain Jack Sparrow and the rest of his pirate cohorts fair on the choppy waters of sequel overload? Don't miss this episode where the boys navigate the waters of the past movies, the perils of character fatigue and the possibility of Jack hanging up his dreadlocks.

Covenant Complaint Log, 2104: When I agreed to go on this colonization mission, I was told that it's gonna be a good time. We were gonna make a new home on a far away planet and I'd never have to see that jerk Kyle from work ever again. I'm not complaining, it's nice to sleep for years on end but there was nothing in the brochure about aliens with acid blood! Also, they lost my luggage. One Star. Would not recommend. Although, that review of the experience on the Covenant was not a ringing endorsement, Jay and AJ may have a different opinion of Alien: Covenant the movie! We take you through the convoluted history of the Alien movies, discuss the differences between a good movie and a great movie and ask the question "Do androids dream of electric xenomorphs?". So settle into your comfy stasis pods and ask Muthur to play the latest episode of Cinema Sesh!   Email us your thoughts, questions or hate mail to cinemasesh@gmail.com   Follow our social media antics! https://twitter.com/CinemaSesh  https://www.instagram.com/cinemasesh/   

A legend is sung of when England was young and knights were brave and bold. But they weren't knights anymore and Arthur was raised by a whore and Jude Law was being a jerk. The sword in the stone had to be pulled by the one who was worth of ruling the land. And Guy Ritchie was there to add quips and flair but did it all work out in the end?   AJ and Jay sit down this week to talk about King Arthur: The Legend of the Sword! They're not from ancient England so there was a bit of a culture divide but they do their best to break it all down for you. They discuss the stars, special effects and insane editing in this summer box office offering. Pull up a stone and hang out for this podcast! Just make sure you pull the sword out first. Enjoy!

In the beginning there were the Guardians. And it was good. A ragtag group of aliens saving the galaxy from threats of destruction. Did anyone think that this would be the last time their services would be needed? Could Starlord and his crew just go back to their lives with the memory of their glory behind them? Could a billion dollar franchise end with just one incredibly successful movie? Of course not!  Peter Quill, Gamora, Drax, Rocket and Groot are all back for the sophomore Vol. 2! The quips are quippier, the danger is danger-ier and the bad guys are...meaner. The heroes mettle will be tested once again and so will their relationships because why else would the movie have been made? To sell merchandise? No! Absolutely not! Join AJ and Jay as they discuss the finer points of alien makeup, baby trees and why you should always check your newfound parents basement before you agree to help them with any of their universal plans.

What does it mean to be human? Does the construct of a soul actually exist? Where is the closest 24 hour sushi restaurant near you?  None of these questions and more will be answered in this episode of Cinema Sesh as AJ and Jay discuss the story of the cybernetic Major played by Scarlett Johansson. There is so much about this movie for us to unpack, especially in comparing it to the anime it is adapted from (Yes, we're those types of nerds. Also, guess which movie with Oompa Loompas we prefer). When it's all over, you'll have a better understanding of what it means to be our friends and what they have to put up with after we see a movie with them. You'll emit a laughter prompt, you'll leak silicone tears in a preprogramed act of crying, you might even acquire some new data packets that increase your understanding of your immediate world.

Clint Eastwood once said "Fate pulls you in different directions". He must have been confusing fate with harpoons mounted on race cars. Also, his son is in this movie! It must have be fate!  Time to jump back into the shotgun seat and join Dom, Letty, Hobbs and the gang for another NOS-fueled romp around the globe! But this time something is horribly wrong! Watch as bonds are tested, both familial bonds as well as the bonds physics holds over the stunts the writers came up with! Jay and AJ dive into this movie just like they were jumping into freezing Russian waters. They discuss how we got here over the last seven movies, who the new faces are joining the franchise and what this movie means to the whole Furious-verse. And don't worry, they get into the Han-troversy. So settle in with some popcorn drizzled in motor oil and enjoy The F8 of the Furious Sesh!

It's a tale as old as time: Two dudes hanging out on a couch discuss a movie for your listening pleasure. Or they just like hearing their own voices. Here's a segue! Beauty and the Beast was discussed this week by Jay and AJ! When it comes to remakes, it's difficult to expect it to live up to the original...but did this one?

Spoilers abound! Must we remind you every time? Sadly, this week we say goodbye to one of the most iconic super heroes in cinema history: Logan, aka The Wolverine. Hugh Jackman has been playing this role for 17 years now and is finally hanging up the claws to move on to...what? We don't know but we wish him well. In this final chapter of the Logan saga, we are rocketed into the future with new characters, a few of our old favorites and...kids. There's cybernetics, psychics and clones, oh my! How many times are they going to use that Wizard of Oz reference, you ask? As many times as there are pithy lists to make about a movie. Listen as our two hosts journey down memory lane and talk about how Logan got here and how the movie itself lives up to the legend.

Welcome to Hollywood, folks! Tinseltown. Chocolate Town, USA....wait that's not us. This is the place where dreams come true, but not always in the way you expect them. It's like the Monkey Paw of cities. This week we talk about La La Land, the movie musical directed by Damien Chazelle (Whiplash) with the leading roles, which anyone down here would kill for, being filled by Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be transported back to the golden age of the silver screen with musical numbers that will take your breath away.

Finally! After what felt like a whole year, we finally have another Star Wars movie! Rogue One is truly the prequel the Star Wars franchise needed. Spoilers: We do discuss Episode 1-3 but as little as we possibly can.  But for real: SPOILERS ABOUND!

We chose to do this podcast completely in English instead of the Heptapod language. Not that we're trying to exclude any Heptapod from listening to this podcast, it's just that our listeners are typically from Earth and they don't understand that alien language.

Five years after Harry left Hogwarts, we apparate back into the Wizarding World, this time following Newt Scamander and some other fresh faces around 1920s New York. We talk about the mythology of the book from which this movie draws its name, the future of the 5 parts Beasts series and the possibility that Dumbledore's Army was simply hidden up his sleevey. We attempt to match wizard wits, with Jay roundly trouncing AJ in his knowledge of the Harry Potter mythos and his ability to pronounce the charms and spells. AJ is bad at that. So settle in with a warm butter beer and wrap your cloak of invisibility tightly around you (neither of which make an appearance in this movie, we are sad to say) and enjoy listening to two NoMajs (or muggles, if you prefer) talk about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them!   Email us your thoughts, questions or hate mail to cinemasesh@gmail.com   Follow our social media antics! https://twitter.com/CinemaSesh  https://www.instagram.com/cinemasesh/
