The Cinebabblers deliver a quick Whatchoo Watchin’ Bout (2:00) before spending time on Oz Perkins’ Gretel & Hansel: A Grim Fairy Tale (13:25), in theaters now; Pete Ohs’ Everything Beautiful is Far Away (34:10), which you can find on Hulu; and the extended cut of Mike Flanagan’s Doctor Sleep (44:35), newly released on Blu-ray and UltraHD 4K. (Spoiler warning: Doctor Sleep’s full plot is discussed at length.)

Then it’s an extended cut bonanza as the boys share two very different lists of extended cuts that don’t exist... but definitely should (1:09:25). Finally, the Cinetron-3000 (1:31:25) chooses a new film for the Cinebabblers to chat about next week.

This week on Cinebabble our dedicated duo chat all things “Whatchoo Watchin’ Bout” (3:05) before more closely covering a trio of sequels: the Cinetron 3000-selected Rambo: Last Blood (15:25), writer/director Kevin Smith’s Jay & Silent Bob Reboot (33:55) and Zombieland 2: Double Tap (51:35).

Which sequels soared? Which plummeted? Which made the Cinebabblers question their love of film? All this, plus a new Cinetron spin (1:11:35) for your listening pleasure...

The Cinebabblers swap Whatchoo Watchin Bouts (3:10) before charging headlong into the fray with coverage of the third episode of HBO’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Outsider (15:55), indie western Slow West (27:20), Columbian war drama Monos (35:05) and Ang Lee actioner Gemini Man (50:15). Spoilers for Gemini Man start at 59:25.

Then the Cinebabblers put their fates in the cold icy hands of the latest addition to the Babble studio, the Cinetron 3000 (1:22:30). This week the Cinetron is particularly cruel. Find out what film it spits out at our mortified hosts.

The Cinebabble boys swap Whatchoo Watchin’ Bouts (2:50) before tackling spoiler-free reviews for Uncut Gems (22:10) and The Lighthouse (28:25). From there, it’s on to full impressions of Sam Mendes’ breathtaking WWI epic, 1917, with both a spoiler-free review (36:05) and a more spoilery, scene-by-scene deep dive (47:40). Finally, the Babblers introduce a new, yet-to-be-titled segment with a play-along-at-home element (1:17:00).

This week the Cinebabblers shake off the holiday dust and glitter for the first of their soon-to-be-annual Best of the Year ‘casts. This year was a better year in film than Clint or Ken first assumed, leading to two fairly diverse lists (52:45).

Before digging into their top picks, though, they trot out an extended Holiday Binge Edition of Whatchoo Watchin’ Bout (2:45), featuring a who’s who of mini reviews for The Last Black Man in San Francisco (4:05), I Am Mother (8:15), Until the End of the World (13:15), Underground 6 (20:30), Dolemite Is My Name (23:05), In Fabric (26:00), The Witcher Season 1 (29:15) and BBC’s Dracula Season 1 (42:00). Then it’s Cinebable’s final Season 1 Mandalorian Minute (46:20).

The Stars align in Episode 9 of Cinebabble as the boys find themselves talking about Episode IX, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Coincidence, um, yeah most likely.

What you’ll find in this stocking-stuffed Star Wars holiday spectacular:

Whatchoo Watchin’ Bout (3:00)

Mandalorian Minute Episodes 6 & 7 (22:35)

Star Wars Personal Histories: OT, Prequels & Sequels (32:05)

Star Wars Episode IX Review and Spoiler Talk (41:35)

Is the Internet Ruining Movies? (1:29:10)

Christmas Essentials (1:33:35)

It all comes to an end in “See How They Fly.” No White Rings of Jupiter (theory dashed!) but plenty of excellent resolution to an extraordinary series.

The Cinebabblers jump right into a packed-to-the-brim episode with another round of “Whatchoo Watchin’ Bout” (1:45), the fifth “Mandalorian Minute” (11:30) and some good ol’ fashioned Trailer Talk (19:10). Then it’s four, count em’, four reviews: Fast Color (31:30), Her Smell (39:25), It: Chapter Two (57:24) and Crawl (1:07:00). Spoilers!

The Cinebabblers fall madly in love with HBO and Damon Lindelof’s latest episode of Watchmen, “A God Walks Into Abar”. The ep not only blows their minds with its elegant mastery of timey wimey sci-fi, it manages to soften Ken on his lingering TrapdoorElephantFart hang-ups from “An Almost Reigious Sense of Awe”. Spoilers abound.

This week our fearless Cinebabblers diverge. Clint experienced an almost religious sense of awe while watching Watchmen’s latest. Ken was left a bit cold on three (hopefully) minor details but remains hopeful that anything that bothered him will be rectified in the season’s final two episodes.
