Hello! Our Dystopian Sci-Fi Series will continue next week with Zardoz, but in the meantime, enjoy this look back at one of my favorites in the genre, Blade Runner.

Hey all! Our Dystopian Sci-Fi series looks back at a landmark example from the 1960s: Planet of the Apes. It's a smart, ambiitous film starring Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowell. With Oscar-winning make-up effects and iconic dialogue, Apes remains a must-see for any serious movie fan.

Enjoy!

Welcome! This week is a one-off of a movie I\'ve wanted to do for a long time: Warren Beatty\'s epic Dick Tracy. It\'s a lavish take on the iconic comic strip character from the Depression. With an all-star cast and Oscar-winning songs, this is a blockbuster hit that now flies under the radar.

Enjoy!

Welcome back! This week, we look at another timely, underrated film, Wag the Dog. It's directed by Barry Levinson (Rain Man) and co-written by David Mamet (Glengarry Glen Ross). The cast is also prime, with Robert DeNiro and Dustin Hoffman leading a large ensemble.

The film is a late 90s political satire, in which the US president stages a fake war to avoid a massive sexual scandal. Sound familiar? Maybe a little too familiar?

Welcome! With the resounding success of the Artemis mission to the moon, it seems like great time to look back at Ryan Gosling's take on Neil Armstrong, First Man.

It's an intimate and epic look at a historical figure who was both enigmatic and introverted. Armstrong was a reluctant icon, and Gosling nails this portrayal. Enjoy!

Hello! We hope you've enjoyed our Best Picture Series. We have some fun, topical movies coming up, and there should be some great discussions.

In the meantime, take a listen to this look back at an episode from 2022, covering Superbad.

Welcome! Our Best Picture Series continues with Train Dreams. It's a fascinating, ethereal work that has rightfully drawn comparisons to the work of Terrence Malick. Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones star.

Enjoy!

Welcome! Our Best Picture series continues with Chloe Zhao's award-winning Hamnet. It's a moving period drama that covers tragic events in the life of William Shakespeare and his wife Agnes. Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley star, with the latter winning an Oscar for Best Actress.

Enjoy!

Welcome! 2026 has been a tough years in many ways, particularly with beloved performers passing away. We lost a comedy genius in Catherine O'Hara, and enjoying Best in Show seems like a proper way to pay tribute.

If you've never seen this legendary mockumentary or it's been a while, it come highly recommended!

At Cinemavino, we're saddened by passing of Robert Duvall. He's a legend and icon, with an incredible filmography.

For this episode, we watch an underrated western from the 90s. Geronimo features an all-star cast, including Wes Studi as the title character, along with Gene Hackman, Robert Duvall, Jason Patric, and Matt Damon in his starring debut.

We have a lively discussion, while also touching on the performances of both Hackman and Duvall.
