This week, it's Christmas! We're not letting the calendar get in the way of our regularly scheduled programming as we drop a brand new episode all about Frank Capra's beloved holiday classic. So, after all the presents have been opened and you've stuffed your gob with ham and sugar plums, gather around the fire and turn up some Cinetology. It's the reason for the season. #heehaw

We had so much to say about The Brown Bunny and Vincent Gallo that we couldn't fit it all in the last episode*. Consider it your Christmas bonus, Cinners! Don't spend it all in one place...unless it's for "personal services."

*That's what she said

'Tis the season to share Vinny Highlife's annual Christmas tradition of watching Vincent Gallo's 2003 film The Brown Bunny. You may know it as one of the most controversial movies of the millennium, but have you actually seen it? You should. Still unsure? Then allow us to convince you.

Remember 2015? Different world, different time. But there were movies and we watched some of them. Spotlight won the Oscar, but did it crack our far more prestigious top tens? Did a movie from 2016? (That last bit makes sense when you listen.)

In 1994, Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers rode into cinemas on a wave of controversy. But are the reasons for that the same now as they were then? Films age like wine, sometimes finding new and unexpected nuances, other times just tasting old. This week, find out how this one plays on our palettes.

Last week, there was just too much nonsense to fit into one episode, so this time out we tackle all the conspiracy theories you (or Oliver Stone) can fit under your tin foil hat. JFK threw a lot of who-maybe-coulda-done-its at the wall and we'll tell you what actually sticks. Or if nothing does. Or if there's even a wall.

This week, we commemorate the 55th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy with an examination of Oliver Stone's 1991 film, JFK. If the movie is to be believed, anyone and everyone played a part in a conspiracy to take down the most powerful man in the world. If the movie is not to believed, it's, well, it's this podcast. Enjoy. This episode unofficially sponsored by Michter's Straight Rye.

This week, we watch the X-rated version of the original RoboCop. Some say Paul Verhoeven's 1987 film is a classic dystopian satire. Others say it's fascistic propaganda. We say a lot of other things in between. Plus, another Cinner gift, a lesson in political correctness, and Italian Renaissance Art. Fun!
