Cinemavino

It’s a pastime that dates back to our childhood action figures:  Matchups.  Take two of your favorite characters, real or not, and imagine them locked in combat.  Who wins?  That’s the premise of this week’s Cinemavino.

Our vino choice this week is Mr. Pink rosé from the Underground Wine Project.  As you may know, its name borrows from a character in Reservoir Dogs, which makes it pretty badass in our eyes.

This week, we talk about our favor one-liners, whether they’re cornball, obscure, or all the above.  We also drink some delicious Charbono from the Robert Foley Winery.

Movie one-liners come on all shapes and sizes, and with widely varying degrees of quality.  Some of them, like “Hasta la vista, baby,” have become embedded in pop culture.  Many others are howlingly bad.  Either way, where would the movies be without tidy, clever bits of dialogue that stick in our collective imagination?

Now, kick back and enjoy another episode of Cinemavino.

Movies require an understated investment from us.  We give two or three hours of our time, $10-50 of of our hard-earned money, and sometimes a small shred of our dignity.  The great movies grant a sense of enlightenment or, at the very least, a sturdy ride of entertainment.  Bad movies leave us feeling like the victims of a cinematic shell game.

On this week’s Cinemavino, we take a look at the worst movies we’ve ever paid to endure.  We also drink some delicious Red Zinfandel from Bedrock Winery.

Summer is here, and that means cinematic blockbusters of varying degrees of quality.  Monster movies have been part of Hollywood lore since the industry began, as have sweeping disaster movies.  For this episode, we discuss Godzilla: King of the Monsters, monster movies in general, and our general fascination with disaster movies.  We also enjoy some full-bodied (monstrous, if you will) red wines to go along with our spirited conversation.

As always, if you enjoy our precious little podcast, please head over to Apple Podcasts and give us a good rating.  It really helps us out!

When true inspiration hits, it can feel like harnessing the power of the sun.  Such was the case roughly six weeks ago, when your favorite trio of podcasters spontaneously created the character of Mitch Scōggins.  (It rhymes with SNOW-gins.)  Mitch is a bookish high school student with a knack for solving crimes in and around his high school.  Think of the Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew-type mysteries.  In a perfect world, Mitch Scōggins paperback books would available by the dozen at middle school book fairs.

For this episode, the boys and I drink some delicious wine and discuss our favorite movies about graduation and the end of school.  Taylor and Travis arrived fresh from a wine tasting, and they were…what’s the word?  Schnockered.  This episode descends into sheer gibberish, which I think is part of its charm.  When Travis brings up Mitch Scōggins at the end, Taylor and I laugh for the rest of the episode and about ten minutes after.

So kick back, and enjoy some Cinemavino.  Also, if you enjoy our special brand of nonsense, be sure and head over to Apple Podcasts and give us a good rating!  We’ll love you forever.
