Cinepod Moviecast

Recorded in December, 2021— it’s a shame that I had to shelve this episode originally because the audio quality was terrible. But thanks to A.I., I was able to clean it up CONSIDERABLY! So here we are!In this DELAYED episode of Cinepod Moviecast, we take a look at the most divisive movie in the podcast’s history! “Don’t Look Up” was a star-studded event movie on Netflix, released when we were still in the grips of the COVID pandemic. Spoiler alert— one of us LOVED it, and one of us HATED it. Either way, this is a movie worth talking about. — Chuck

The latest film from Disney Pixar is available to us in the comfort of our own homes via the device of your choosing-- and Mr. Zulueta and I have chosen our respective devices and both watched "Soul," the new animated film featuring a predominately African American cast-- a first for a Pixar film. Does this motion picture have soul? Or is it super bad? -- Chuck

Happy Holidays everyone, and welcome to our 4th holiday special, and the kick-off of Season 4 of Cinepod Moviecast! This year, Mr. Zulueta and I will be looking at movies that aren't necessarily "holiday movies," but instead are movies that we tend to watch traditionally during the holiday season. These are "comfort movies," and considering the year 2020 has been, we could ALL use a little more comfort! We've each selected 3 films, so you'll get 6 choices for films that you may enjoy during your time off. So sit back, RELAX, and N-joy a bit of warmth and comfort for the season. -- Chuck

Happy Halloween! This is our 2nd Halloween special for the Cinepod Moviecast, and this year Mr. Zulueta and I have each selected 3 of our favorite spooky, spine-tingling, creepy movies that we like to roll for scary season. You might wanna keep the lights on for a few of these. Don't cover your eyes, and get ready to scream! -- Chuck

Better late than never. Recorded back in 2018, Mr. Zulueta and I discuss the Oscar-winning Spike Lee joint “Blackkklansman.” I saw this film in the theater, and was not only late in reviewing this movie, but we’re also late in releasing our chat about it! However, in the year 2020 this movie is just as meaningful and as impactful as it was when it was made, and as relevant as the time of the original story. Power to the people! — Chuck

Put yo weight on it! Mr. Zulueta and I take a deep dive into the works of Mr. Rudy Ray Moore and his smash hit first feature, "Dolemite," as well Eddie Murphy's "Dolemite is My Name," on Netflix. Are these movies "bad"...or are they bad? Get ready for supersonic audio phonic 70s funk and soul feast for your MF'n ears! This episode was recorded in 2019. -- Chuck

Captain's Log, Stardate 8.2020-- in this first episode since the COVID-19 pandemic quarantine began, we are back to discuss a couple of treks to the stars. We take a look at the latest of the Star Trek reboots, "Star Trek Beyond," as well as the original 40+ year-old "Star Trek: The Motion Picture." Are these bold additions to the Star Trek cannon? Or do these feel more like a hangover after a bit too much Romulan Ale? Mr. Zulueta go where plenty of others have been before, but...you know...with more flare! -- Chuck

Grab on to your Overthrusters! In the latest episode of Cinepod Moviecast, I introduce José to the wonderful world(s) of Buckaroo Banzai. Prior to this, Mr. Zulueta had never seen it, whereas I grew up watching it-- having seen it more times than I can count. It's a fun, nerdtastic deep dive with music and clips to delight your ear holes. No matter where you go, there you are-- so be there with this, Monkey Boys & Girls! -- Chuck

42 years after A New Hope, we have reached the end of the Skywalker Saga! There's a lot riding on the success or failure of this one film. Was it everything fans had wanted? Or was it yet another disappointing entry into the Star Wars cannon? Does it rise to the occasion? Or does it sink under the weight of its hype? Mr. Zulueta and I lay our childhoods on the line with our analysis of the 9th and final Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Happy Holidays, everyone! This is our 3rd Annual Christmas Special, where Mr. Zulueta and I pick and discuss three of our holiday movie favorites. If you're like Joel, and you're not feeling the noel, this audio extravaganza will surely get you in the mood! Prepare to laugh, and sing, and be silly! -- Chuck
