Cinema Bums

The Cinema Bums gather to discuss the very first movie in the classic 2000's superhero trilogy, Spider-Man! This is the film that started it all, and the Bums are here to discuss it all: Tobey Maguire's poor performance, Sam Raimi's unhinged directing, and, yes, Spider-Man's homophobic comment. All that plus a mysterious allusion to (but no explanation of) the fact that Emmet once ate dinner with Aunt May herself, Rosemary Harris! Tune in to hear Wade praise this film's graveyard-set final battle and Emmet pioneer through a very 2002 quiz. Thank you for listening, and please enjoy!

The Cinema Bums kick off Web Head Summer by discussing the 1977 TV movie, Spider-Man! That's right, the original Spider-Man on film wasn't Tobey Maguire - it was Nicholas Hammond with samurai to fight, funk music to groove to, and $46 he needs to earn to pick up his mail. With this series, we're finally getting back to our roots: chaotic episodes about weird superhero movies! Tune in to hear Emmet explain why he walked out of Uncharted and Wade suffer through another TV-based quiz. Thank you for listening, and please enjoy!

The Cinema Bums wrap up their Robert Eggers miniseries by ranking all three of his films! Having finally seen The Northman, the Bums place it in the canon of Eggers's other work. They also discuss which movie is most welcoming for newcomers, and what they would like to see from the young director next. Stay tuned until the end of the episode to hear the exclusive reveal of our next miniseries! Thank you for listening, and please enjoy!

The Cinema Bums conclude their Robert Eggers miniseries by discussing his brand-new Viking saga film, The Northman. That's not all: The Northman is also a surprise return to the Lion King miniseries and the cobweb-covered Shakespeare Corner. The Bums also get to pronounce the name Fjölnir many, many different ways. Tune in to hear Wade enlist under the service of Commander Stone Hopper and Emmet unsuccessfully try to remember the title of the 2007 Vikings vs. Native Americans film "Pathfinder." Thank you for listening, and please enjoy!

The Cinema Bums are joined by Levi Adkins to discuss Robert Eggers's second film, The Lighthouse! This trippy historical tale stars only Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe, making it the first episode ever without a chosen MVP. Instead, our trio dives deep into their many theories about what is really happening beneath the surface of this film. Tune in to hear Wade share some spooky Welsh history, Emmet make his official predictions about The Northman, and Levi reveal some interesting Greek mythology. Thank you for listening, and please enjoy!

You can check out Levi's wonderful short film "The Man and His Wife" right here!

The Cinema Bums are joined by Taylor Dorsett of the Professional Technical Interviewee podcast to kick off their new miniseries covering the films of Robert Eggers! This week, our trio is discussing Eggers's historical horror debut, The Witch. We're asking all the hard questions: Is this scarier than an Ari Aster or Jordan Peele film? Would you take a deal with the devil? Most importantly, how does Robert Egger's stepdad feel about him making a Hamlet adaptation? Tune in to hear Wade almost insult twins everywhere, Emmet flex his Jack Lemmon knowledge, and Taylor share his scary experience of rewatching this movie at night. Thank you for listening, and please enjoy!

The Cinema Bums are joined by Zane Hollomon to discuss the third and fourth movies in the Richard Jewell series, Paddington and Paddington 2! Every year around April Fool's Day, a mania sets over our trio and they can do only one thing: #RememberTheName. This year, they're taking a crack at the best movie ever made (according to Rotten Tomatoes) and finally meeting the mad lad himself: the lovable bear Paddington. Hijinks ensue. Tune in to hear Wade mark Paddington's uneasy Hereditary connection, Emmet reveal "the truth about Paddington," and Zane rave about the LEGO games. Thank you for listening, and please enjoy!

The Cinema Bums wrap up their Jurassic Park series by ranking all five dinosaur-filled movies! The Bums also discuss the two Jurassic World short films released over the last three years, as well as their thoughts on the upcoming Jurassic World Dominion and the franchise going forward. Stay tuned until the end of the episode to hear the exclusive reveal of the next miniseries coming up! Thank you for listening, and please enjoy!

The Cinema Bums are joined by Kurt Uskar and Oscar Meyers to discuss the 2022 Academy Awards! Our daring duo covers everything Oscars: the ceremony, the winners, and, yes, the slap heard around the world. We're diving deep into the Will Smith and Chris Rock of it all, as well as CODA's shocking win, Dune's brutal snub, and the ridiculous "28th anniversary of Pulp Fiction" segment. The pop culture takes are hotter than ever this year! Thank you for listening, and please enjoy!

The Cinema Bums are joined by Emily Rayl Russell to discuss the final movie of Jurassic March, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom! This bizarre, oft-maligned sequel seems to have already exited the public consciousness - but is it wild enough to stand the test of time? Most of our trio thinks so. Tune in to hear Wade share this movie's strange Moana mash-up, Emmet rail against Daylight Savings Time, and Emily make her predictions for Jurassic World Dominion. Thank you for listening, and please enjoy!
