Cinematographilogically Speaking

I'm sorry to let you know audience, but what you are listening to is a file copied from my computer. Only I possess the original. You then exclaim to me, because at this point you are very very angry, "There is no difference, I'm listening to it all the same!" Sure thing buster. Is googling an image of the Mona Lisa is the same thing as viewing it the Louvre? Come to my house right now.    Scores: Troy -- 3.9, Steven -- 3.9, Brody -- 3.9, Jacob -- 4.4   Recorded 9-2-2023

I woke up to the sounds of church bells. I checked my Ring™ camera to see nothing outside. As I crack the door to the outside world and the first rays of the morning sunlight caress my face, I looked up. *BONG* *BONG* *BONG*. I knew it was time to record another podcast.    Scores: Troy -- 4.5, John -- 4.7, Steve -- 3.9, Jacob -- 4.2, Brody -- 4.5   Recorded 8-27-2023

THIS PODCAST IS ON FIRE! Just kidding! Or...metaphorically we are? This podcast actually has a super secrete Easter egg where it starts the same way that it ends. Can you find it? It's just like the movie haha, which is also just like Life. For all those who start this podcast, you will finish this podcast. It's quite sad isn't it? But also kind of beautiful.    Scores: Troy -- 3.99, John -- 4.2, Steve -- 4.3, Jacob -- 4.2, Brody -- 4.7   Recorded 6-8-2023

All of these symbols are making me sick to my stomach! Cinematographilogically speaking is the Boullée of the podcasting world. Few creations, but big BIG ideas (on paper). Don't eat the figs, cover your nude body with a fig leaf, and measure force created in your stomach after all those fig newtons you ate with uh...newtons.    Scores: Troy -- 3.3, John -- 3.5, Steven -- 3.0, Jacob -- 3.9, Brody -- 2.9   Recorded 5-29-2023

CinematographilogicallySpeaking Productions does not give a HECK about awards. That's how free thinking we are. We identify a lot with The Joker in that way. We get to the Real (as we have a very long history of doing so on this pod), and we Really didn't like this flick. If you happen to like this movie then please take down your poster of the periodic table and google "Dialectic of Enlightenment"   Scores: Troy -- 1, John -- 3.2, Steven -- 1, Brody -- 0   Recorded 4-1-2023

It's been a while, how've you been? Everything ok? Cool, cool. Well, we're back and all that, and if you're wondering why this description is as low quality as the audio quality of this pod, it's because Brody is on vacation. This episode has Troy, John, Elsmore, and Sam, and it's kinda a banger.  Scores: John: 3.7 Sam: 3.3 Elsmore: 3.7 Troy: 3.7

No movie? No problem. We've all got something to say anyway. Say something. Please somebody say something.

Elsmore and Troy received many emails from fans, detailing their very personal and real problems. We solve these problems easily, try bringing the heat next time.

We finally got another special guest into our studio. He flew in from the BIG APPLE. Apple bottom jeans. We promised to pay him but the check bounced. Sam if you're reading this we're sorry but we had to get you into the studio somehow. Please forgive us. No you're still not getting paid.   Scores: Troy -- 4, Jacob -- 3.3, Steven -- 3.3, Sam -- 3.25   Recorded 7-15-2022

Thrilling content for your ears. Buckle your seat belts, hold onto your top hats, and mop tops cause this is a bumpy one. Red Shoes? More like Red Snooze! We did all actually like this movie though.   Scores: Troy -- 3.8, John -- 4.4, Steven -- 3.8, Brody -- 3.3   Recorded 6-21-2022

Jacob was in downtown LA when he ran into Serj Tankian in a coffee house. Jacob tried to get his copy of manufacturing consent signed by Serj, but instead Serj just handed Jacob a copy of "Color of Pomegranates" and went on a half hour long rant lamenting how ignorant Americans are of the great and proud history of Armenia. Once he was done with his tirade he let out a scream, raised his fist, then threw a brick through the pane glass window of the coffee shop, hopped into his Tesla Model 3, and drove off. Thank you Serj Tankian for your guidance and Resistance.   Scores: Troy -- 2.5, John -- 3.8, Brody -- 1.5, Steven -- 2.5, Jacob -- 3.7   Recorded 5-25-2022

Check the books and place your bets. This is going to be a fight!    Scores: Troy -- 3.3, John -- 3.3, Brody -- 3.0, Steven -- 3.7, Jacob -- 3.5   Recorded 3-1-2022
