Cinema Royale

On this week's Cinema Royale we head across the pond and try not to be scared out of our boots by James Wan's The Conjuring 2, reuniting Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson! Good thing we have Kristen Lopez (@Journeys_Film) calling in to keep us safe! 

Plus, we'll talk about the all-new Ocean's Eleven "sequel" led by Sandra Bullock and an all-female cast. We'll get the full casting rundown and discuss whether reboots such as this and Ghostbusters are just the start of a trend, or a momentary fad.

All this plus my thoughts on Duncan Jones' Warcraft!  All this and much more on the next episode of Cinema Royale!

Do we really need to be worried about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story? It seems like we do. On this episode of Cinema Royale, I'll talk with my buddy Jeff Lyles of Lyles' Movie Files to figure out what's going on with Disney's anticipated spinoff, because it sounds like it may be going down the toilet.

Plus, the two of us will talk Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows! Does it make you wanna shout "Go ninja, go ninja go!", or duck your head in your shell?

All this and much more on the next episode of Cinema Royale! And also please consider subscribing to the show via ITunes, TuneIn, or directly at Blogtalkradio.

Cue the X-Men: The Animated Series theme! On this week's Cinema Royale comics afianado, artist, and fellow Punch Drunk Critic Julian Lytle gets in on the action reviewing X-Men: Apocalypse, the biggest film in the long-running franchise yet. But is it necessarily the best?

So tune in for what should be an uncanny, astonishing, amazing, episode of Cinema Royale!  And also please consider subscribing to the show via ITunes, TuneIn, or directly at Blogtalkradio.

Cinema Royale's Travis Hopson is joined by Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg, directors of the award-winning documentary Weiner on disgraced Congressman and mayoral candidate, Anthony Weiner.

Cinema Royale host Travis Hopson talks with writer/director Rebecca Miller about her latest film, Maggie's Plan, a screwball comedy starring Greta Gerwig, Ethan Hawke, and Julianne Moore. She also discusses the difficulty for female directors in Hollywood, her interesting career path, and more.

Who is the better comic duo? Is it Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe in Shane Black's The Nice Guys? Or is it Seth Rogen and Zac Efron in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising? I keep fighting the urge to write 'Sorority Row' there, ugh!! Anyway, we'll be joined by fellow Punch Drunk Critic Roxana Hadadi to talk about both films, and to explore her deep-rooted love for the Baby Goose.

Plus, there's been a huge creative shake-up at Warner Bros. as they try to get their failing DC Comics movies off the ground. I'll weigh in with my thoughts on the moves, and if it's enough to turn things around.

All this and more on the next episode of Cinema Royale! Remember you can follow the show on Twitter, Facebook, ITunes, and TuneIn!

On this week's episode of Cinema Royale, we're joined by Joblo.com's Christopher Bumbray to review two very different movies. The Ancient One, Voldemort, Anastasia Steele, and...Matthias Schoenaerts star in Luca Guadagnino's seductive drama, A Bigger Splash! Plus, George Clooney and Julia Roberts take Wall Street to task in Jodie Foster's thriller, Money Monster!

Finally, we get Bumbray to admit that he has been paid off by Disney to write awesome reviews of their Marvel movies. Because obviously!!!! 

Join BFCA member and film critic extraordinaire Travis Hopson for another amazing episode!

Welcome to the all-new, all-different Cinema Royale!! Okay, maybe not so different and not so all new, but we're back and better than ever! And this episode is going to be about, what else, Captain America: Civil War!

But this won't just be another review because we had the chance to sit down with the film's directors, the Russo Brothers, to talk about the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, introducing Black Panther and Spider-Man, and maybe what to expect if there's a fourth Captain America movie.

All this and much more, including rumors about Ben Affleck's feelings about the DC Universe. So strap in folks! Hope you enjoy the ride!

Valentines Day weekend so you know what movie we'll be talking about, though I struggle to find the connection between BDSM and romance....guess I'm not with it anymore, that's right ladies and gentleman it's finally time to talk about 50 Shades of Grey.
