I want to preach mindfulness and introspection as you watch along. After I finish the guide, I will watch along, following the same lessons and discussing what I picked up and how it contributes to my movie knowledge. With this first episode, I give you the following five films and tell you how to watch them and why these serve as a great foundation:1. Jaws - Just an all-time great that balances Art and Entertainment flawlessly. Just watch it and see if you like it or don't.2. Pulp Fiction - How do you do with the added violence and the unconventional story structure?3. 2001: A Space Odyssey - Do you like the added scale and the existential subject matter?4. Parasite - Easy entry into Foreign Language films. Try to be conscious of themese and symbolism. Do you mind watching a movie with subtitles or in a different language?5. Citizen Kane - Do you see why this is one of the greatest films of all time? How do you do with an older, black and white film? Watch a bonus feature or read an article about it to see why it was so special for its time.

On this weeks SPOOKY episode of Friends with Cinefits, Cain Dennis (@iamcaindennis) joins Alex to review Ari Aster's 2018 film Hereditary.

On the second episode of Friends with Cinefits, Alex is joined by childhood friend Austin Ramsey (@austin_ramsey4) to tear apart the M. Night Shyamalan disaster that is The Last Airbender.
