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 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!

“General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends.”

Kicking off our Christmas series of films, Trevor brings in one of his favorite Christmas and romantic comedies,  the insanely stacked, star studded 2003 English classic, Love Actually. 

What's your favorite Thanksgiving movie? If you didn't say Planes, Trains and Automobiles, then what movie are you thinking of because it's the only Thanksgiving movie that matters. Unless you count Rocky with that one scene Pauly throws the turkey out the front door. The late great John Candy and comedy legend Steve Martin give the greatest comedic performances of their careers in John Hughes' buddy road trip comedy based on events he experienced. It's time to buy your kids a chocolate turkey, take a scenic cab ride through Wichita, Kansas and put your hand between two pillows. Gobble Gobble, you're f***ed!

 “People wanna live like this in their cars and big fuckin' houses they can't even pay for, then you're necessary. The only reason that they all get to continue living like kings is cause we got our fingers on the scales in their favor. I take my hand off and then the whole world gets really fuckin' fair really fuckin' quickly and nobody actually wants that. They say they do but they don't. They want what we have to give them but they also wanna, you know, play innocent and pretend they have no idea where it came from. Well, thats more hypocrisy than I'm willing to swallow, so fuck em. Fuck normal people”

If you’re into hearing amazingly written (and spoken) dialog including some of the above monologue, then have we got a movie for you! It’s 2011’s factually accurate, thinly disguised housing/financial crisis drama, Margin call.
