Sober Cinema

Harmony Korine made the A24 version of MIAMI VICE... ...and still the world was not satisfied. Including your hosts! Mainly the one from Florida who does not recognize the rap success from his home area as portrayed by James Franco. Meanwhile another host lives in fear of the alternate version of this film that stars Emma Watson. This film does not exist and so he remains forever grateful to Ashley Benson and is checking out her latest work as a cam girl in ALONE AT NIGHT. As an act of appreciation and for podcast research of course. Our final host just feels like he was born in the wrong place and time. A wistful episode for SPRING BREAKERS as we begin our new season celebrating 1983-2013 and how old and perverted we increasingly are. Enjoy!

The movie that inspired a Sean Young role in ACE VENTURA. Which isn't entirely a bad thing. It's more Sean Young! For a very late 1992 anniversary episode, a somewhat late Valentine's Day episode but BUT an EARLY St. Patrick's Day episode we present Neil Jordan's.... THE CRYING GAME. We tried to be careful here but spoilers almost instantly for this Oscar contender starring Forest Whitaker in a very dreamlike sweater. Enjoy!

Thirty years of going to church with Harvey Keitel. Among other activities for the title character in Abel Ferrara's family film. As for our activities discussing BAD LIEUTENANT on a podcast that includes: More hate for the Miami Heat when it comes to decision making in the final seconds of a Game 7. More debate over the assets of early 90s It Girl Winona Ryder. And how this film provided the template for the... calmer UNCUT GEMS. Have a good cry with us on our latest episode!

Thirty years of Anthony Hopkins slut-shaming Winona Ryder. And a redhead of course. We can't forget God's greatest gift to mankind. Other than Sir Anthony it's also the Dread Pirate Roberts and Neo/Constantine/Johnny Mnemonic getting in on the sex negative attitude. Also my co-host informs me The Rocketeer is a prude. I'm glad I did not get that reference. If you are wondering why the IMDb filmography list it's because BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA is one of those sure-fire classics on our rewatch of 1992 in film that we were afraid there'd be no new ground to cover. Then the scissoring talk began. Enjoy! Support what we do on Patreon with bonus episodes and even more afterparties (you have been warned.)

Thirty years of Uma Thurman being a witness to driving men crazy. One podcast host in particular. And although you've probably heard all you need to about one Kentucky man's love for Ms. Thurman this is actually an episode of discovery as shockingly all hosts have a good time with JENNIFER 8. Is it John Malkovich's sass with a cold? Lance Henrickson's trusting nature of dark figures with a flashlight? Or just an excuse to analyze the perverted nature of flash photography? Three decades later this thriller gets the justice it deserves on SOBER CINEMA. Support what we do on Patreon with bonus episodes and even more afterparties (you have been warned.)

Thirty years of Nice Guy Eddie not being so nice. Which is why he quickly becomes a fan favorite in this episode on Quentin Tarantino's directing debut RESERVOIR DOGS. In one of those almost unimpeachable classics we decide to take on the likes of Harvey Keitel and Tim Roth for they are no Chris Penn. Also the decision to not cast Samuel L. Jackson as Mr. Roth's Jedi master here brings up a returning segment of can one belligerent podcast host take on Mace Windu? For that... we go to the stats. Enjoy!

Thirty years of Brad Pitt making everyone look ugly. For some reason we decided to cheat a bit this week and fulfill a promise to Mr. Robert Redford and complete his own 1992 double feature after SNEAKERS with him behind the camera for A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT. He also talks all throughout this film as the narrator which offends our sensibilities as podcasters soooooo we take a dump on this movie. Which is easy because it's no SNEAKERS. Neither is it INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE which we talk about for a few minutes. As well as the "NO!" gunfight in a river in the all timer TOMBSTONE. And then another host brings up POOTIE TANG. It all makes a bit more sense if you listen. That's a big if though after these show notes. Enjoy! Support what we do on Patreon with bonus episodes and even more afterparties (you have been warned.)

Thirty years of a Frenchman playing an Italian discovering America. But not really. Perhaps even less impressive than the discovery of this great country is the decision to cover not one but TWO Christopher Columbus movies from the year of 1992. Mistakes were made. Such as: One host continuously mistaking one Scott brother for another. This is a Ridley Scott joint, not Tony's. Sad. Returning guest Tangible Teddy continues to hate Italian accents. He also hates former guest Dave Giannini. Okay, so maybe that last one isn't a mistake. Enjoy! Support what we do on Patreon with bonus episodes and even more afterparties (you have been warned.)

Thirty years of everyone hating Kevin Spacey. The only closing you get on SOBER CINEMA is an explanation on how Jack Lemmon is a "soy boy" and a debate on if Ed Harris would be the best or worst co-worker in the office. Also if we have time we talk about Al Pacino having better bowel movements than perhaps anyone in the history of this planet. Naturally.

The heat in 1992 was of course on The Great Madeline Stowe. One host says that this movie is better than HEAT. The other two hosts, as much as they love Madeline Stowe, have to stay sharp. On the edge. Where they gotta be. They also may have confused this with Tom Cruise in THE LAST SAMURAI. Only you the listener can decide.

Thirty years of boating and cuckolding. The only reason we chose to revisit the year of 1992 in film is this movie and for a few reasons: Mary Kay Place in a riveting family comedy shower scene. Kurt Russell's hair and always sleeping with one eye open. And to discuss our favorite hot dogs. Naturally.

Insult Bridget Fonda all you want but don't you dare misspell the drummer's name from the fictional band CITIZEN DICK. Those are the rules here on SOBER CINEMA. Apparently one host's early 90s dream girl provides no charm in this Cameron Crowe look at grunge rock. This is among the many obscenities from this sweet little movie: Bill Pullman with his professional misconduct of NOT recommending larger breasts. Campbell Scott predicting a better basketball career for Xavier McDaniel over Sir Charles Barkley. And lastly... Kyra Sedgwick's mouth. That's it. The greatest sin. However this episode is declared the winner of our trilogy of favorites from 1992 which will continue with CAPTAIN RON and THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS!

Thirty years of Robert Redford vilifying the bald. Our official career retrospective episode on the work of Sidney Poitier is finally here as he is naturally compared to... Brad Pitt. Who is not in SNEAKERS. But Mary McDonnell is as the honeypot, River Phoenix as a simp before that was common vernacular (RIP by the way) and David Strathairn as a man that one host really has a problem with doing... well, anything.

Thirty years of Nicolas Cage having outbursts. Although HONEYMOON IN VEGAS is slightly more pleasant than his Oscar-winning turn in LEAVING LAS VEGAS. Your dedicated author of these show notes will not bring Elisabeth Shue into this fight as INDECENT PROPOSAL casts a large shadow over this far sillier version of a fiancee being sold as an escort to an older gentlemen by our leading men. It's safe to say that we also prefer Robert Redford to James Caan. And somehow Christina Hendricks gets brought into the conversation because why not?

Thirty years of Benicio del Toro being the best part of every movie. Not that he's playing a nice guy here. But can one expect perfect gentlemen in a film on the exploits of Christopher Columbus. Well in 1992 this was the DEEP IMPACT to Ridley Scott's ARMAGEDDON as America got two dull movies on this jerk. So we open things up with suspecting our guest of abandoning podcasting for Only Fans and end the show when the beer runs out. Just as Columbus deserves. Enjoy a true Italian guest in Dave Giannini returning to promote his podcast OFF SCREEN DEATH and most definitely not an early celebration of Columbus Day.

Thirty years of actors from the sitcom WINGS wrecking havoc. Or maybe it's starring in the unfortunate ABC mini-series of THE SHINING? Whatever the origin of evil we find ourselves suffering along with poor Bridget Fonda as that once sweet heartbreaker from FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH forms the worst co-parenting relationship over a dog. And then Jennifer Jason Leigh has the audacity to copy POINT OF NO RETURN's unfortunate haircut that no one of sound mind would mimic. All of this AND THEN Stephen Tobolowsky plays the hero creep.

Thirty years of Brian De Palma making Hitchcockian events funny AND sexy. Well... maybe the sexy comes up for debate on our anniversary episode for RAISING CAIN. What is not up for debate is that the Boston Celtics did not need the front court depth offered here by one idiot host (Jairo) in their 2022 playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks. We are nothing if not topical and on point as we continue to time travel back to 1992 at the movies. Some might say that this is the podcast that a quintessential STARZ cable movie like this deserves.

Thirty years of admiring the acting of Meryl Streep's butt. Along with Goldie Hawn's abs. And Bruce Willis doing his best to fend off all the lovely ladies Robert Zemeckis could throw at him all so SOBER CINEMA could come to the conclusion that objectifying women is not only funny... but right. To help us make this case we have Dr. Bone return to provide her female viewpoint on the charms of the undead.

Thirty years of remembering Jim Carrey from IN LIVING COLOR. But thankfully (?) MO' MONEY released in 1992 so we can properly immortalize the work of a couple of the Wayans brothers as they bring us a comedy... romance... thriller... that manages to be consistently off putting no matter the genre. While we attempt to not mention the much funnier sketch comedy veteran Eddie Murphy romcom BOOMERANG that released a few weeks earlier we are also struggling to not pay too many compliments to Stacey Dash.

Thirty years of ignoring this entry in Sidney Lumet's filmography. That's okay though. We got to learn a thing or two from the extremely inquisitive and aggressive Ms. Griffith in this fish out of water detective story. One in which the ignorant barks out a lot of orders and is the hero for aggressively insulting the entire basis for the lives of others. As podcasters we understood the hero's journey that Melanie was on and we applaud her efforts. The movie... not so much.

Thirty years of self-imposed abstinence for Brad Pitt. But only because he's surrounded by cartoons in Ralph Bakshi's self-imposed check cashing return to animation in COOL WORLD. Unfortunately for us (and you, the listener) we get hung up on the world-building in COOL WORLD and perhaps the sexual politics of... COOL WORLD. It's uncomfortable. Enjoy!

Thirty years of the best women ballplayers being demeaned... ... by Penny Marshall! Which is not good. Shame on you, auteur. However when Tom Hanks and Jon Lovitz contribute... it is admittedly pretty funny. Perhaps not so much when we do it. So we come to the defense of the best hitter to ever wear a Rockford Peach uniform and Jairo yet again gets to reminisce about another early 90s soundtrack he played while alone and unloved. Enjoy!

Thirty years of Ray Liotta being a good fella. Recorded before Mr. Liotta's passing we got an opportunity to praise him in our review of 1992 mainly because he terrorizes a possibly racist yuppie played by Kurt Russell. Sorry, Captain Ron but we will formally apologize with that film's anniversary in September. For now... one host is attacked for his love of grilled cheese while the another attacks the lovely Ms. Stowe for a notable speaking voice. It's titillating.

Thirty years ago Michael Keaton was not tall enough for Michelle Pfeiffer. Thank god. This eventually leads us to one host's undying lust for Ben Affleck but before that we discuss if Tim Burton's continued dorkdom in BATMAN RETURNS is appropriate Christmas season material for children, if using penguins with rockets is an appropriate Plan B and if Danny Devito is worthy of kissing at a Comic-Con. Another host says yes. Most definitely, yes. Enjoy!

Thirty years ago Goldie Hawn had a nice butt. Probably still does. Which made it all the more frustrating to listen to Steve Martin's complaints about Ms. Hawn's squatting in his empty home. An empty house constructed for Dana Delaney. This leads to a revelation from one host who knows quite a bit about early 90s television starlets. His name is Jairo. He is old. Enjoy!

Thirty years of one host dismissing Samuel L. Jackson as any sort of threat. However that same host wants to emulate James Earl Jones upper management style. This is how SOBER CINEMA approaches Harrison Ford taking the reins from Alec Baldwin as Jack Ryan in PATRIOT GAMES. One thing we can all agree on though is that Mr. Baldwin may not have been the best Tom Clancy hero but he is most definitely an intimidating father figure and lover of Meryl Streep. Enjoy our well researched take on the IRA as based on this movie and the other Ford 90s joint THE DEVIL'S OWN!

Thirty years of Whoopi Goldberg being a sexy nun. That's according to one person on my social media doom scrolling. However we don't take the bait there and instead mainly pick on Maggie Smith's horrible lack of martyr skills as Mother Superior along with her modest amount of racism. Also when we aren't distracted by a shirtless Harvey Keitel we make the horrific discovery that Bill Duke directed the sequel SISTER ACT 2: BACK IN THE HABIT.

Thirty years of Tom Cruise's hats getting no respect. This episode is about horses and so we bring on a graduate of a horse university to discuss Tom Cruise's ability or lack thereof in taming the wild stallion that is Nicole Kidman in Ron Howard's FAR AND AWAY. However one host has no need for equine experts and is more enamored with the boxing etiquette of a Scientologist while the other is oddly obsessed with Greg from DHARMA & GREG. Wasn't Dharma from DHARMA & GREG also a Scientologist? None of these answers are in the show. Enjoy!

Just to be clear... thirty years later Mel Gibson is still Australia's doing. Now that the elephant in the room is out of the way we get back to more topical podcast subject matter like declaring BOTH 1992's summer movie season and our 2022 Oscars recap special. We also feel very sorry for both Danny Glover the man and the character he plays in Richard Donner's (but NOT Shane Black's) LETHAL WEAPON 3. Jairo insults another beautiful white woman in Rene Russo and we insult our listeners ears by preparing them for another questionable episode on Scientology and even worse a Scientologist on a horse in FAR AND AWAY. Among all these horrific things we also shine a light on last week's guest Dave Giannini and his podcast on LETHAL WEAPON 3 on ATTACK OF THE 3RD. Awful all around.

Thirty years of Billy Bob Thornton refusing to cut his ponytail even when on the run from the law. God bless that man. Or at least that character (who knows what sins Mr. Thornton has committed.) Okay, so maybe not even his character in ONE FALSE MOVE for although he admirably hates children he also commits some other less noble crimes that lead him on a collision course with the greatest cop in Arkansas cinematic history: The Hurricane as played by Bill Paxton. One of the finest dumb characters ever committed to film we discuss this MTV Movie Award winner from Carl Franklin and how much we enjoyed it along with guest Dave Giannini of OFF SCREEN DEATH replacing a much hated co-host (Jairo.)

Thirty years of a child actor shocking us before retiring to a daytime talk show. For our regular listeners we want to apologize for not being particularly aroused by one of the pioneers of 90s "slutsploitation genre" for we do not have our regular old man Jairo on this episode. Instead guest Dave "Hey Bobby" Giannini of OFF SCREEN DEATH steps in to tell the rest of the hosts about a time before WILD THINGS existed. We choose to not believe in events before Neve Campbell and Denise Richards got in that pool but here we are; someone filmed it and we watched it. Now you listen and enjoy the titillation.

Thirty years of Larry Fishburne having to field stupid questions from Jeff Goldblum. But seriously... what is a brown shower? To answer such a question we bring on our expert on bathing in Tangible Teddy from the offensive episodes of THE GRAND GESTURE. Along the way we actually watch a good movie in the month of April in Bill Duke's DEEP COVER. If you haven't seen it the clips included are carefully curated so as to just get us close enough to cancellation without crossing the line. Like we said... a good movie!

Thirty years ago Dr. Melfi was just beginning a long career of watching grown men throw temper tantrums. As you can see already (those few of you who appreciate the genius show notes) we would rather have been rewatching THE SOPRANOS than John McTiernan's MEDICINE MAN. Although one host has childhood memories of a VHS taping off of cable... he remembered the ants. The sugar. But not the thongs. This episode corrects that. Enjoy!

Thirty years of being absolutely positive that your high school transcript holds up to English teacher investigations. This movie is silly and we disparage cats by the end of it. Also too much sex talk for a movie about dorks who are afraid of the kitty. All in all... not a bad Stephen King movie. Takes the bronze behind THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION and obviously THINNER. Enjoy!

Thirty years of Dolly Parton proving that expertise is not needed on talk radio. Thanks for that, Dolly. But also thank you for financially aiding a Covid-19 vaccine. So we here at SOBER CINEMA consider that a draw as we have our first experience of 1992's STRAIGHT TALK. Our research team had more experience with America's newest oldest sweetheart more in pictorials but even our jaded hearts have a tough time saying anything negative about this pleasant movie. James Woods is the romantic lead though. That's not great. Enjoy our latest episode anyway!

Thirty years of Rosie Perez being thirsty and men just don't understand it. But we do. Well us and Siskel & Ebert. The natural progression of film criticism. What does that sound like? A Peruvian voice is no authority for black culture in America as seen in the films of 1992. So instead we rely on the two white guys on the show. White men from Kentucky. Who have no time to appreciate a man's California tan. But can VERY MUCH appreciate Rosie Perez and her needs. One thumb going up somewhere in our latest episode of SOBER CINEMA!

Thirty years of back and to the left with Sharon Stone sitting and smirking. The above declaration of celebrating an iconic cinematic moment is a bit misleading as this episode is mainly about Michael Douglas and his lack of body hair. Erotic.

She also deserved better than currently being known as "hot Aunt May" but at least she won an Oscar along the way for MY COUSIN VINNY.

Thirty years of Pierce Brosnan inviting street urchins over to play with his flight simulator. Yeah we also had a hard time believing any of this. BUT... it was THE MATRIX of the early 90s. Which is to say that even as kids we were more amazed by the technological breakthrough of EARTHWORM JIM. And now as old men... the charms of THE LAWNMOWER MAN lead to the inevitable talk of how much better FORREST GUMP'S life turned out by having a buddy invest his money in Apple. Thanks for nothing whatever your character's name is in this, Pierce Brosnan.

Thirty years of America feeling the same way as Jerry Seinfeld about Bobcat Goldthwait. SHAKES THE CLOWN presented what we presumed to be a can't miss viable piece of cinema for a gap week in 1992 because it presented one thing we hate (clowns) with one thing we love (alcoholism) and by the end of the episode we may have found a cure for alcoholics. Watch this movie. Enjoy! Or Don't! Presented by Pop Culture Case Study.

Thirty years of a turtle taking a doomed ride with a maniac kid. But at least the dog makes it out okay(ish) in Richard Donner's misguided family film that doesn't quite capture the magic of say a Dwight Yoakam in SLING BLADE domestic abuse drama. It's just not that fun! Even with attempting to feed a turd to a now retired actor and professional Twitter troll in Adam Baldwin... young Frodo just can't make it work. So the boy from JURASSIC PARK must die. Enjoy!

Thirty years of "comedy" from Canada. We are not amused by Wayne. We are not amused by Garth. We do not suffer fools hosting their own talk show and thrusting it out to an unwelcoming world. We do however like this Rob Lowe fellow and how he handles pizza night. Enjoy!

Thirty years of respecting Richard Gere's hair and all the places that hair went. On this show one host looks a gift horse in the mouth that is the masterpiece FINAL ANALYSIS and tries to bring Brad Miller to a Shaq fight when it comes to one of the greatest blondes of cinema: Kim Basinger. But not just any Basinger... boozy Basinger who manages to inspire a man to have enough courage to trash talk Eric Roberts in a men's restroom. And Uma Thurman as the younger sister. Movies were once a places solely for the gods. Enjoy.

Thirty years of enjoying the legacy of great genes that is Melanie Griffith's family. Also there are some Nazis to be dealt with in SHINING THROUGH but as long as they look like Joely Richardson and are up for a cat fight... we think we can handle it in these trying political times. But back in 1992 Michael Douglas was healthy and willing to get down in the mucky muck, Liam Neeson was but a simple confused Nazi instead of confusing them heroically and a friend of ours would have said Tippi Hedren was the way to go. Dakota Johnson is the right answer but you already knew that. Enjoy!

Thirty years of not knowing what we would had in the heyday of erotic thrillers. Although it must be said that our mileage varies on just how erotic we find the wet work and horse role-play of Sean Young and That Creep From SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY. Along the way we discover some things about ourselves: One host actually takes it as a compliment to be compared in looks to That Creep from SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY. Another host still carries some psychological trauma from attempting to date the students of a "horse college." And finally the last host (the author of these show notes means that in every sense of the word) remains frightened of the smell of pubic hair. Enjoy!

Thirty years ago NOW That's What I Call Hip-Hop was born. And if you think that is cruel wait until you see the scam that tiny Tupac Shakur and friends pull on a comely young lass working at the local record store. If you want to hear what one host was listening to as he touched his first butt (while trying to grab something else) then this is the podcast for you. And only that specific person. For we are white. And we are talking Ernest R. Dickerson's JUICE.

Thirty years of white women having no reason or accountability. That may be a bit harsh but one host truly thinks that Julianne Moore deserved better. Not her character in Curtis Hanson's THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE... just Ms. Moore in general. She's great. As well as AS GOOD AS IT GETS. The movie we are discussing is not. But it does give another host the opportunity to air out his grievances as the president of his homeowner's association while also lamenting his useless knowledge of hip hop on a movie podcast that is riveted by the glory of white women Karens as personified here by Rebecca De Mornay. She seems nice. We also all hate children. Even the father on this podcast. Enjoy!

Thirty years of confusion about how one becomes an officer of the law in the Bay Area. And this film starring early 90s It Girl Milla Jovovich does nothing to illuminate us on civilianauxiliary police (but thank you Wikipedia for the hyperlink!) so we resort to our kickoff of 1992 in film by attacking each other. Being noble historians of cinema is stressful work but we hope you enjoy another season of SOBER CINEMA!

Twenty-five years of Andie MacDowell singing about pie. As disgusted as we are with the auteur behind YOU'VE GOT MAIL in this Christmas release from 1996 we still take the time to discuss the important things. Like Joey Lauren Adams' voice. Or Bob Hoskins as Wolverine. And of course... a look back at our weekly selections at the movies of 1996. Spoiler alert: it ends up being a battle between the obvious choices of HEAVEN'S PRISONERS and CHAIN REACTION. Onto the year of cinema in 1992 in 2022!

Twenty-five years of questioning the viability of Rose McGowan escaping through the garage door. For science. You will never hear a forty-something year old man talk more about Skeet Ulrich than on this podcast. Terrifying. Happy Scream Day!

Twenty-five years of Jay Mohr ever so briefly having power over Tom Cruise. When one thinks of the Cameron Crowe classic JERRY MAGUIRE... the infamous VALLEY OF THE DOLLS does not come to mind. Except on SOBER CINEMA. Yes, yes, we pay all proper respects to what is likely our most enjoyable watch of 1996... but it stills comes down to boobs. As it always would. Enjoy.
