  • 420. 007 as Character Study: Daniel Craig as James Bond

    After taking the deep dive into Casino Royale (2006), Jason and Ryan knew it was time to give the now concluded Daniel Craig 007 arc the love it deserves. Shake up a drink of choice and settle in for a look back at perhaps the best character study of Bond ever filmed.

    The Deep Question: When you are feeling low and you just need to throw on a great film, what is that comfort movie for you?

    Casino Royale (2006)
    No Time to Die (2021)

  • 419. Remember November: V for Vendetta (2005) and Pretty in Pink (1986)
    Cinema Drive remembers Guy Fawkes Day and Love Your Red Hair Day with a couple of movies that have nothing in common but November 5! (Kinda!) There's so much disparity between these two admirably alliterative flicks that it was too much fun for Jason and Ryan NOT to get into both.

    The Deep Question: What is a movie watching experience that changed your enjoyment of a film, for better or for worse?


    This Week's Features:
    Pretty in Pink (1986)
    V for Vendetta (2005)

  • 418. The Thing (1982): A Cinema Drive Halloween
    A Happy Halloween to all of you out there in Movieland! This year Jason and Ryan go into isolated dread in the deep Antarctic and circle each other with mistrust and fear...or at least they would if they didn't both love this Carpenter classic so darn much. Halloween is a time to celebrate films like The Thing (1982) that still hold up 41 years later (!), so join Cinema Drive this Spooky Season.

    The Deep Question: What's a movie that you enjoyed near the time of it's release, but it doesn't necessarily impress you today?


    This Week's Features:
    The Thing (1982)

  • 417. The Vinyl Things in Life: Empire Records (1995) and High Fidelity (2000)

    Spin a double album of Cinema Drive and sit back to reflect on the record days of yore. Jason and Ryan compare and contrast two films that revolve around record stores but differ drastically with how they bring drama and character growth to the screen.

    The Deep Question: What's a TV show you'd recommend?


    This Week's Features:
    Empire Records (1995)
    High Fidelity (2000)

  • 416. From the Files of Leslie Nielsen: Airplane! (1980) and The Naked Gun (1988)

    Cinema Drive knew "you were all counting on us" to land a goofy spoofy episode all about the genius of Leslie Nielsen and his two best collaborations with the Zuckers and Abrahams. But if you don't like groaning with laughter every four seconds, then "there's nothing to see here. Please disperse!"

    The Deep Question: What is a movie that has sat on your "to watch" list for more than a decade?


    This Week's Features:
    Airplane! (1980)
    The Naked Gun (1988)
