Cinephilia

Let me tell you the story of Right Hand/Left Hand. For it was with the right hand (LOVE) that actor Charles Laughton directed Robert Mitchum in one of his scariest performances in a film based on a controversial book and it was the left hand (HATE) that critics struck down the first time director's directing career. But wait a minute! As time went on, 1955's The Night of the Hunter became a beloved classic by filmmakers and movie lovers everywhere.

But who does Mike and Trevor agree with? With the lovers or the haters?

This might be the most controversial episode of Cinephilia to date!

On a very special episode of Cinephilia, Mike and Trevor talk about possibly the most underrated movie of 2022, Babylon. It's the unique tale of Hollywood's struggle with the introduction of sound. 

Nothing good happens after 2 AM!

WatchMojo called it the most underrated movie of all time...twice. Mike and Trevor talk about one of Martin Scorsese's least talked about movies. It's one crazy night in SoHo that will have you screaming Surrender Dorothy!

New Year

New Look

New Season

New Theme Song

and of course...New Episode!

Join us for David Fincher's masterpiece of love, loss, longing and cutting edge visual effects: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

As a new year begins, Mike and Trevor look back at not only the best cinema had to offer in 2022 but the movies they talked about in the first 37 episodes. Who brought in the better movies? What did they pick for the best of the year? Where is Tressa's mic? Why were there so many 3 hour movies in 2022? And How did Quincy Jones get Martin Scorsese to direct the Bad video?

All this and more in our first episode of 2023!

You guys give up or are you thirsty for more?

That’s right! The second part of our Home Alone Christmas extravaganza is finally here. It’s another Christmas in the trenches with Kevin, and Mike and Trevor slowly start to lose it as they continue to record their longest episode ever but now you get two episodes for the price of one. And as always, keep the change you filthy animal

To put a bow on our “favorite Christmas movies” series of films, we will be discussing the one, the only, ultimate in Christmas entertainment and home invasion punishment, home alone. Since our love for the first two films exceeds the length of most people’s patience for a single podcast episode, we will be splitting the episode into two for your listening pleasure!

Keep the change, you filthy animals…

And a happy new year. 

What is the most watched Christmas movie of all time? I don't know but I'm willing to bet Bob Clark and Jean Shepherd's coming of age tale that is celebrating 25 year of 24 marathons is pretty high on that list. Travel back to 1940 and to the childhood Christmas memories of Mike and Trevor as they review A Christmas Story and relate it to their own upbrings and favorite Christmas memories but don't worry, no one shot their eye out!
