Well, who woulda thought?! Did you imagine that the would ever, EVER make an entire movie based on The Joker? When they announced this film last year, there were lots of mixed feelings. But when the trailers showed up, people began to think a bit differently about the Todd Philips directed "Joker," starring Joaquin Phoenix as Author Fleck. And what to Mr. Zulueta and I think about this motion picture? Is it a great Joker story, or is it just a joke? We go long on this one to break down the artistic and social relevance of a super-serious comic book movie. -- Chuck

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the 9th film by Quentin Tarantino. In this episode, Mr. Zulueta and I chat about the latest from a director that he and I like quite a bit. So is Mr. Tarantino's latest a masterpiece? Or is it a piece of something else?

After an extended hiatus, A/K/A busy at the day job, Mr. Zulueta and I are back with our review of one of the most anticipated movies in the last 10 years-- Avengers: Endgame. We both saw this film and recorded this episode on opening weekend, so you'll have our fresh and unexpurgated take on the film before either of us heard or read any other reviews. Is this film worth the wait? Or was this just a waste of time? SPOILER ALRET: It's definitely not a waste of time (all 3 hours of it), but....listen to find out! -- Chuck

In this latest episode of Cinepod Moviecast, Mr. Zulueta and I have a chat about Alfonso Cuarón's Roma, which premiered on Netflix in December 2018, and has gone on to win several awards, including a few Oscars. It's a personal, and gorgeously photographed B&W film which Cuarón shot himself (show-off). Is this film as great as the critics and the awards claim it is? Or is it just artsy nonsense? --Chuck

Miles Morales makes it onto the silver screen in the animated feature being called the best superhero movie of the year, as well as one of the best superhero films ever made! In this episode of Cinepod Moviecast, José and I swing through Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse to marvel at the multi-award-winning multiverse extravaganza. Is it worth your time? Or is this spider dead on arrival? We also end up taking a trip through time, and we get a special guest reviewer's input as well. It truly is a multiverse of fun! --Chuck

Netflix has done it again! With more than 44 million views, their latest thriller/horror film Bird Box has become a bit of a cultural phenomenon, resulting in dozens of social media memes and the infamous #BirdBoxChallenge. In this latest episode, Mr. Zulueta and I participate in a Bird Box challenge of our own...watching the film itself. Is it as great as many people say it is? Or does this bird have a busted wing? Put your blindfold on, and take a listen! --Chuck

Welcome to Season 2 of Cinepod Moviecast! And welcome to our annual Christmas special, where, just like last year, we take a look at "incidental Christmas" movies-- movies that take place on or around the Christmas holiday, but aren't necessarily Christmas films! Instead of each of us presenting our top 5, Mr. Zulueta and I each present our top 3 "incidental Christmas" movies. There are many different films to choose from this year, so join us while you're decorating the tree or on the way to your next holiday party, OR if you're just looking for some anti-saccharine Christmas-adjacent movies to watch. On behalf of myself and Mr. Zulueta (kinda--haha), have a happy holiday and Merry Christmas, and all that good stuff! -- Chuck

What amazing times we live in, where one can simply go to the app on their device to see the latest films from some of the greatest directors in film! That's the case with the new film from The Coen Brothers, presented by Netflix. Mr. Zulueta and I are chatting about The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, featuring Tim Blake Nelson, Tyne Daly, Liam Neeson, James Franco, and Tom Waits. How does this western rank among the greats in the Coen's catalogue? Please, SEE THE MOVIE FIRST, then listen! -- Chuck

In the second part of our conversation about Ninjago, my lovely daughter Maya Eloise continues to confuse her father about the many plot points that make up the series and the movie-- which she is quick to tell is NOT cannon! -- Chuck

Ninjago is a LEGO phenomenon, especially in the Conyers' household. In this episode, I am joined by my very special guest, my daughter Maya Eloise, who gets to discuss her FAVORITE topic in the world! We had a VERY long conversation, so I decided to break this up into two episodes. This first episode will focus on the main characters in the series. I'm not as well-versed in the Ninjago mythology as Maya is, so she takes the lead while I ask the questions, and also draw parallels to the stuff that I'm more familiar with. It's always a good time talking to my little girl! -- Chuck
