In our reemergence episode we discuss what we've been up to over the last few weeks before diving into Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon, The Rings of Power, Prey, Nope, and Better Caul Saul.

We also speak a little bit about an upcoming film project that we are going to be filming soon, so stick around.Cinescussion: Episode 25 - It's been A While, Here's What We've Been Up ToEquipment: Adobe Premiere Pro, Zencastr, & Blue Yeti MicrophonesCinescussion is recorded in Seattle, Washington, USA.

Welcome back fellow cinephiles. How often have you seen a film that has an amazing concept, but as the film prods along, it just seems to lose steam? Don't you just hate that? Well, we absolutely do, in fact, maybe it's time for film studios to spend more time greenlighting some of these concepts that deserve a good remake rather than films that were already great. Grab some coffee and join us as we discuss some films that suffer from being missed opportunities.We start out by having a spoiler free discussion about Thor: Love and Thunder and RRR.Discussed: Star Wars Prequels, Lost Tv Series, A Nightmare on Elm Street (Remake), Death Note, Incarnate, Priest, Event Horizon, The Last Airbender, The Matrix Resurrections, Sucker Punch, RRR, and Thor Love and Thunder

We do have a few spoilers so if you want to skip to our man subject, Director David Fincher, feel free to and come back once you've seen the new Marvel film.  David Fincher is one of, if not the best director alive right now but what makes him so good as his craft? Join us we discuss it in order to figure it out.Side note: We mention a non-spoiler section which we adhere to but a few minutes later we do accidentally mention some things so we apologize for that and we just wanted to give you a fair warning.

What are some of your favorite movie sequels? It's tricky, isn't it? There are so many disappointing sequels that it seems like the great ones need a lot more celebration, and that's what this episode is all about. We have an incredibly great time discussing some of our favorite movie sequels and why we think they worked so well. Grab some coffee or tea and join us as we become the sequel people that we, apparently, were meant to be.

There are many disappointing movies out there and then there are movies that are just the worst but...sometimes it's not that simple. In fact, some terrible movies are more entertaining than good ones, so we decided to have an experiment based on a suggestion from one of our previous guests, Josef Wilke, where we recommend terrible films to each other that we enjoy because they are so bad, they are good to us. It led to some interesting reactions...so join us as we suffer through these horrendous films and attempt to cope with laughter. We also discuss Everything Everywhere All At Once, which we LOVED.Films Discussed: Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Island of Dr. Moreau, An American Werewolf in Paris, The Wicker Man (2006), Catwoman2022

The moment has arrived, and Batman has returned...or...The Batman is here? Never mind. We saw Matt Reeves' The Batman (2022) this weekend and we decided to take a spoiler free deep dive into the film for the first few minutes and then a spoiler filled, nerdy conversation emerges shortly after but don't worry, we give a verbal warning once the spoilers begin for those of you that have not seen the film yet. After discussing The Batman we actually branch off into the entire live action batman film franchise and talk about what we love and what we...question about those films. Grab some snacks and maybe some coffee before joining us as we tumble down the Batman hole.Topics: The Batman (2022), Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman and Robin, Batman: Mask of The Phantasm, Matt Reeves, Christopher Nolan, Tim Burton, Joel Schumacher, Robert Pattinson, Paul Dano, Collin Farrell, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chris O' Donnell, Alicia Silverstone, Uma Thurman, Jim Carrey, Tommy Lee Jones, Cilian Murphy, Heath Ledger, Tom Hardy, Andy Serkis, Michael Cain, Michael Gough, Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfifer, Danny Devito, and Zoe Kravitz

Who doesn't like a good Western? After our conversation last time about The Yellow Light Trilogy we were intrigued by another community proclaimed trilogy referred to as the 2007 Western Trilogy (There Will Be Blood, No Country For Old Men, and The Assassination of Jesse James). Tune in and grab some popcorn as we discuss the trilogy that delves into the darkest elements of America, old and new. We also saw Jackass 4 and Netflix's All of Us Are Dead, which turned out to be a pretty great Korean zombie show.(Correction: In the podcast I say I saw There Will Be Blood in 2007 but it turns out it was in 2008. The film was released in December 2007, so it took time for its DVD release. I remembered later that the Halo tournament was in 2008 so I had to be wrong so, my apologies.   - Fortune)Projects discussed in order: Jackass 4, Netflix's All of Us Are Dead, There Will Be Blood, The Assassination of Jesse James, and No Country For Old Men

Sometimes Reddit REALLY comes through, especially in this case. The Yellow Light trilogy was nicknamed, we think, by a couple of people on reddit years ago. It consists of three movies that aren't actually a trilogy, but feel like they could be, and they feature crime neo noir plots with Los Angeles lights painting the background every step of the way. These lights help inform the cinematography, hence The Yellow Light Trilogy (Drive, Nightcrawler, and Collateral). Join us as we delve into these three wonderful films and boil down which one of them is our favorite.Films Discussed: Collateral, Drive, Nightcrawler, and Guillermo Del Toro's Nightmare Alley

We saw a lot of film projects in 2021 and after some discussions we decided to discuss our top ten lists of the year.

In our first episode of SEASON 2 we dove into the new Scream film hits theaters this Friday and we decided to re-watch all four of the scream films in order to prepare for the new movie.

Join us as we delve into the Scream films, which re-defined what horror movies were in the late 90's. One of us is also COMPLETELY obsessed with these films...we'll let you guess which one of us it is.Subjects Discussed: Scream, Scream 2, Scream 3, Scream 4, Scream (2022) and director Wes CravenThe scream franchise stars: Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, David Arquette, Matthew Lillard, Skeet Ulrich, Rose McGowan, Jamie Kennedy, Timothy Olyphant, Scott Foley, Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, and many more actors...

Well sit back, relax, and maybe crab some popcorn as we break down these terrifying stories and the iconic characters that made the franchises so memorable. James Wan also released an interesting horror film called Malignant that we saw and we are a bit torn on this film but it's DEFINITELY worth talking about because it's also very interesting.
