Have you ever wondered how Netflix figures out what you should watch? Do you ask yourself how they seem to get it so wrong? Does math make you angry? If you answered Yes to any of the above, then consider yourself drafted into the Cinner Army, now waging war against the Skynet algorithms that are stealing our humanity. Plus, Poughkeepsie Paul phones in!

It's an 80s flashback as we discuss Arnold's big 1987 hit, The Running Man. But was it actually a big hit? And how close was it to its source material, the 1982 book by Stephen King? All that, plus Frank slips into an existential mire only to be rescued by the life-changing voice of John Parr. Seriously, check out this video.

We're off the road and back in the studio digging through the pile of listener questions that have come through in recent weeks. Did you think we forgot about you, Cinners? Never. We didn't forget about all the movies we've seen either as we recap our summer cinematic diet. Plus, an updated Distillery standings and things get heated over...P.T. Barnum?

It's our 21st episode and what better way to celebrate being legal than drinking like James Bond. We're all over the Tampa Bay area in this edition of Cinshine Cinema, following the path of 007 from the Ian Fleming novel, Live and Let Die. While we may not see the author in the same light, we both agreed we waited far too long to have lunch. But it was worth it.

Vinny Highlife has been double-0 obsessed lately, so rather than hose him down, we watched Roger Moore's first Bond film. How does it hold up almost a half century later? How does Bond himself? Plus, who's our favorite Bond? What's our favorite theme song? And is Bond the greatest franchise in film history? Also, Sean Connery is still not Welsh.

Note: we had a weird technical problem while recording which resulted in an slight echo. Our engineer did a damn fine job cleaning most of it up, but we still apologize for any issues.

We're joined by our friend Jeff to discuss Barry Levinson's Diner, one of the most influential films not only in film and TV history, but in our lives as well. It's a movie--and an episode--all about friends, growing up, and talking, lots and lots of talking. And, yes, we start off by talking about how we're going to have shorter shows. Apparently, that means eventually. Maybe.

After distilling the films of director Darren Aronofsky last time out, this week we give you a deep cut of his most misunderstood and maybe most Aronofskyian effort, The Fountain. Why wasn't this more of a hit? It has three different Hugh Jackmans! What more do people want?
