Kindly remove your masks, Cinners, and join us for a deep cut of Stanley Kubrick's final film. Controversial? Misunderstood? Underappreciated? Don't worry, we'll lead you down the darkly festive "New York City" streets to the truth behind the mask. Did we mention masks already? There are a lot of masks.

We examine the career of legendary auteur, Stanley Kubrick. In-depth. It's a long episode, but we think worth it. You'll be a Kubrick expert by the end and a hit at all your summer parties. Plus, we both saw Solo! We answer listener mail! And Frank needs a nickname!

It's the best time of year. No, not for the lackluster summer movie offerings, but for Vinny Highlife's legendary Summer List, revealed to a non-Frank audience for the first time ever! Put on your best $5000 suit, fix yourself a big plate of linguine and clams, and try not to get run over by any wrestlers. It's summer--Cinetology-style.

This week, we parse the source code for Westworld with a viewing of the 1973 original film. How does it hold up, not only compared to the high tech puzzle box of the HBO remake, but to the harshest critic of all, time? And what type of rating system does time use? Stars? Chronons? It's not like it has thumbs. Also, Frank wants an Amazon Prime coffee mug!

In the first episode of our Cinshine Cinema series, we discuss Sean Baker's The Florida Project and life on the outskirts of the Magic Kingdom. Vinny Highlife drops a big history bomb for context and Frank sees a bug in the studio. This is quality stuff people. Plus, we debut a new theme song. We're not saying it's Eddie Vedder, but we're not saying it's not.

This week, we go all in on the Fredo of The Godfather saga, Part III. Is it really a Minus or is it a misunderstood Plus? And could Sofia Coppola's performance be as disastrous as we all remember? Plus, do Italians eat horses? Did the mother in The Godfather actually have a name*? And we discover what Vinny Highlife looks for in a woman.

2:14 Listener Question: Was the horse head in The Godfather real?

This week we christen the Distillery with the director who gave us cinema's greatest christening scene, Francis Ford Coppola. We go film-by-film through FFC's career giving each a Plus or a Minus (or sometimes a zero) and then tallying up the results. Will the results match his reputation? Did he peak in the 70s? And why weren't we drinking wine?

Vinny Highlife threw down the gauntlet and Cinner Nation answered. One of us hated this film. One of us didn't think it was terrible. You'll never guess which is which. Although you have a 50/50 shot so you very well might.

We knock out the Elite Eight, Final Four, and Finals of our Favorite Movies tournament. Are the results shocking or were the winners in our hearts all along like cinematic cholesterol?
