Cineppraisal

*Clap! Clap!* What’s that? A creepy game of blindfolded hide and seek in a most likely haunted Rhode Island mansion? An empty noose hanging from the nearest residing terrifying tree? And a couple of paranormal investigators attempting a very ‘unsanctioned-by-the-Vatican’ exorcism? That’s right, it’s James Wan’s The Conjuring. Listen as Dax goes “Ah!” repeatedly and as Adam explains the realworld inspirations for this masterly unsettling tale of spirits who do more than just go bump in the night. So grab some popcorn, dim the lights, and allow us to “Conjure” you a spookily good time.

Effortless class meets thrilling heroics as this week, we head North by Northwest. Master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, weaves his, possibly, greatest tale. A film so classic that, even if you've never seen it, you've seen its legacy. So hop a train, a bus, a biplane... wait. Scratch that. Maybe not the biplane. But join us, Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, and James Mason for 1959's North by Northwest.

Adventure has a name! This week we're tackling a movie so classic it belongs in a museum. 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark, the film that introduced the hat, the whip, and a man named Indiana Jones. We're not doing this for the fortune & glory. This is truly a favorite of ours and an inspiration. So, join us for this tale of Adventure, Intrigue, Mystery, and Romance!

We did it. We finally did it. Welcome to the Dark Future/Past that is Los Angeles 2019, as we start our long awaited (and possibly quite long running) Blade Runner commentary. We're getting going where any newbie to the series should start: The Final Cut. So, crack a Tsing Tao, and... that's about it. That and Coca-Cola are like the only brands to survive the Blade Runner Curse. It's alright though, just answer your Voight-Kampff test questions truthfully, and you'll most likely avoid "retirement." Don't let this moment be lost in time or you'll be crying.... tears...... in... rain.

You know what? It's been rough. Maybe it's time we take 'er easy. And to show us how, Brad and Alex from The Purpose Driven Dude join us for a special crossover episode! It’s all strikes and no spares (except one) in this dark comedy filled slacker noir classic. So, pop a couple of oat sodas, or maybe mix yourself up a White Russian. Then crank the whale sounds, cause we're about to dive deep on the Coen Brothers classic, "The Big Lebowski."

Take me away! I don't mind! Seriously, have you seen the news? Cineppraisal is back in time, to take you back in time, with Back... to the Future! Robert Zemeckis's 1985 classic tale of an old man and a teenage boy exploring the good times and casual racism of the 1950s. And doing it with some style! It’s all fun and games as they swindle terrorists out of plutonium, avoid temporal paradoxes, and learn to change their respective densities. It's gonna get Heavy. So, grab your cassette player and throw on some Huey Lewis. Cause, y'know, that's the power of love.

What if I told you... that everything you know is⁠— wait, Morpheus never said that? Oh, well, still! Forget about what you think you know.... or something or other. Ever feel like you’re just stuck in a dream with too many allusions to Lewis Carroll for some reason? Imagine a world filled with skin-tight leather outfits, lots of guns, and at least two cats. No, wait, it was just the same one twice... oh, and the world itself isn’t real, but there is a real world somewhere... except it’s filled with robots. Maybe you’re a chosen one! Maybe you’re not really! Maybe you were too busy looking at the woman in the red dress! Maybe you wanted to fit a joke about Point Break somewhere in this description, but couldn’t figure out how! Knock, knock, Neo. You can take the blue pill and just watch The Matrix, or you can take the red pill and watch it with us! It’s an all new distancely-recorded Cineppraisal. Why does Adam sound like he's stuck inside the Matrix, you ask? Because he probably is!
