Where armchair directors find comfort.

The "separate the art from the artist" debate rears its head once again, as allegations arise against Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Star Trek says we'll evolve: can we?

Where armchair directors find comfort.

As has become a sort of norm with the crew, this month’s what we’ve been watching is both chalk full of older titles and a whole load of TV, some new, mostly returning. Join us this week as Colleen, Dale (Letterboxd) and I (Letterboxd) touch base on what we’ve been watching, reading and listening to […]

It’s Friday; welcome to The Cinecast! Yes with a holiday weekend coming up and some conflicting schedules outside of that, we’re doing an end of the week show. Ergo, no new, theatrical releases this week. But there are some pretty big titles that are eating up the bandwidth on VOD this week. First up is Clive Barcarpenter’s The Void – yeah, it doesn’t make much sense to us either. M. Night Shyamalan has gone back to the proverbial drawing board and has started making his brand of film. The ones the made him. Ya know, the good ones. That’s right, Split (spoilers!) is pretty damn good film making. Aside from another Shyamalan tie-in, Andrew has no Watch List this week and leaves it to Kurt to monologue for an hour about a whole slew of cinematic goodies (and one podcast). There’s a “mental health” marathon [insert joke here], some studio Ghibli, some Netflix stand-up comedy, some Quentin Tarantino, an 80s retro-review of the precursor to American Movie and much more.

We’re a pretty great show to listen to while shopping for pudding. Have a listen!

It’s here! The long awaited return of Sarah (@iBrockely)! Sarah finally decided to take a break from school and we met up on a semi-clear, not so warm evening to record a show on the patio of a local dive bar. We were mostly undisturbed except for the occasional interruption to order more food and […]

We’re getting the band back together! Or more accurately, we got the band back together! After a couple of episodes with one member short, this month we managed to find a time that worked for everyone involved and what a reunion it was. If only the month looked better… Join us as Dale (Letterboxd), Colleen […]

Aack into blockbuster mode this week with the somewhat controversial live action remake of Ghost in the Shell. While Andrew and Kurt don’t find it particularly controversial, we do have differing ideas of what makes it good (or not so good). Andrew caught up with some indie, found-footage horror in The Dark Tapes; coming soon to tons of VOD near you! Kurt went back to the space-thriller well, putting his trust in Jake Gyllenhaal for Daniel Espinosa’s Life. In The Watch List, we’ve got 80s nuclear holocaust (beware of the anal bleeding), 40s Jewish holocaust and a celebrity “disappearance.” Check in and strap on the ear-goggles. It’s last week this morning with Kurt and Andrew. Enjoy!
