It's-a me, Cinema Drip! Our hosts are joined by Keenan Culler to discuss the box office sensation, The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Mario's foray into film (ignoring the disastrous mid-90s adaptation) has gone incredibly well financially, but received a mixed critical reception. Where do Christian and Scott land? Fair warning: One of them is a hater.

It’s a two-part bonus episode on the Cinema Drip podcast as we reflect on the 95th Oscars a month out from the ceremony, and take a look at the recent smash hit John Wick: Chapter 4! The original John Wick started an argument on this show last year — how did our hosts feel about the most newest chapter?

The inspirational sports movie. A tried and true classic. Where one coach isn't just there to coach a basketball team - he's there to inspire. That coach is Samuel L. Jackson, that team is Richmond High School, that movie is Coach Carter. Released in 2005, were our hosts equally inspired? Or were they lost causes?

Can Scott jump? The answer to that is no, but does that apply to all white men? That is the question that begs to be answered as our hosts tackle the 1992 basketball classic, White Men Can't Jump. Starring Woody Harrelson, Wesley Snipes, and Rosie Perez, we look at basketball as a primary means of hustling. Do our hosts respect the hustle? Or will they call the bluff?

It's the start of a new blend of the month here on the Cinema Drip podcast and, in honor of March Madness, our hosts will be tackling basketball movies! We start of with Gina Prince-Bythewood's directorial debut - Love & Basketball. Centered on the romance between two budding basketball players, it premiered in the year 2000 and has gone on to be regarded a cult classic. Do our hosts feel the same? Or do they think the movie should be benched?

We're discussing The Last Airbender. There's nothing much to say about this movie - it was awful the first time we saw it. It hasn't improved. Have fun listening :)

Our hosts are back to tackle 2002's Signs. Starring Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix, this movie is known for its intricate creature design, thrills, and surprisingly, comedy. Did our hosts laugh with the movie, or at it?

M. Night is known for his twists, and there's probably no plot twist more famous than that of The Sixth Sense. Both of our hosts know about the twist, but neither has seen the movie - what can we expect?

Kicking off our newest blend go the month, our co-hosts decide to tackle one of the most divisive filmmakers we have - M. Night Shyamalan. Reviewing his newest film, Knock at the Cabin, currently in theaters, our hosts look over their personal histories with him before delving into their thoughts about this at times troubling movie. Are they on this movie's wavelength when it comes to faith? Or do they doubt?
