This week it was announced that genre director (and CutPrintFilm favorite) Rian Johnson would be writing and directing Star Wars Episode VIII and IX.  We discuss what this means for the franchise as well as Johnson himself.  In a recent article we listed 10 movie scenes that embarrassed us, the audience.  We go over a few scenes that were left off the list but certainly still deserve to be called out for their cringe inducing ways.  That topic leads us into a discussion about films we didn’t enjoy the first time, but upon revisiting we found to be pretty great.  Naturally, to close the show we give our Weekly Movie Recommendations.

This week we’re looking at the movie release calendar for the month of June and boy do things look grim for moviegoers.  We discuss the new sci-fi film ‘Snowpiercer’ and whether or not it has a chance of becoming a hit.  The topic of horrible movies that were preceded by equally horrible trailers comes up and we delve into movies we never had to watch based solely on their trailer.  We play “The Name Game” which will likely never make another appearance on the podcast and then have a fireside chat about how the way we watch movies has changed since starting up CutPrintFilm.com.  As always, we end things with our weekly movies recommendations.

Summer movie season is in full swing and we all go gaga over Tom Cruise’s new scifi space marine movie, ‘Edge of Tomorrow.’  We also watched the new Joaquin Phoenix/Marion Cotillard drama, ‘The Immigrant’ and found ourselves captivated by its fantastic performances.  With 2014 already half over, we take a look at the best films and performances of the year (so far) and hand out our Hoscar Awards (Halfway Oscars).  Find out who wins Best Actor, Actress, Director and Picture as Dave serenades us into each category!  As always, we end the show with our weekly movie recommendations.

With the summer blockbuster season upon us, we discuss two recent tent-pole movies:  Marvel’s  ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ and Disney’s ‘Maleficent’.  Then we get into the absurdity surrounding the director position for Marvel’s ‘Ant-Man’ and wonder what all the hoopla is about.  ‘Jurassic World’ director Colin Trevorrow confirmed some insane plot details this week so we squawk about that for a spell.  Chris does a soliloquy about advertisements targeted at ‘tweens before a movie plays in the theater and we cap the show off with our Weekly Movie Recommendations.

The older we get the more we realize how foolish our younger selves were.  On this week's episode we tackle that idea by examining movies that we loved in our formative teen years that haven't stood the test of time.  We also discuss some big news events that occurred this week involving a couple of popular movie franchises as well as Ryan Gosling's Cannes faux-pas.  Everyone takes a crack at our new game, 'AMAZON.COMathon.'  The rules are simple: one person reads a movie review from an Amazon.com customer and the other contestants have to guess the movie being reviewed.  See who wins the jackpot!  As always, we end the show with our weekly movie recommendations.

GODZILLA - King of the monsters or boring movie?  We decide on this week's episode.  We also tackle other GIANT cinematic monsters and see which ones hold up and which ones are left standing.  The rampant trend of Hollywood re-makes and reboots is brought up and we play a little game:  What movie would we remake if we had $100 million to do it?  Who would direct and star?  Imagine our surprise when we all choose 'Patch Adams' with Robin Williams reprising his role as the titular asshole doctor.  Dave wants to talk about James Franco's new film, 'Palo Alto' but it gets poo-pooed.  All that and of course we end the show with our Weekly Movie Recommendations.

We're talking comedies this week!  Dave saw the new Seth Rogen comedy, 'Neighbors' and tries to convince us that it's good.  The Jesse Eisenberg starring dystopian dark comedy, 'The Double' finally got a wide release and we say nice things about it.  Dave also went and saw 'Locke' and everyone tries their hand at a Bane impression.  Then we rattle on and on about all things comedy.  Which comedies don't hold up today and why?  What makes for a good comedy.  What isn't funny to begin with, etc.  And of course we end the show with our weekly movie recommendations.

It's our 10th episode and we're celebrating by drinking hard liquor!  This week Jeff saw Ti West's new horror/religious cult film, 'The Sacrament.'  Meanwhile, Chris had to sit through 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2.'  Dave brings up the casting announcement for the new 'Star Wars' movie and we rattle on and on about the Star Wars films for a spell.  After the break we go over the list of movies we'd consider a perfect 10 and ultimately decide the official CutPrintFilm 10/10.  As always, we end the show with our weekly movie recommendations.

This week Jeff tells the tale of the "Return to Nuke 'Em High Vol. 1" premier party he attended.  Then we talk about great actors giving mediocre performances over and over again.  'Jurassic World' was in the news this week and we get to the bottom of why!  After a commercial break we do a little water cooler talk about movies before drooling all over 'Blue Ruin' which hit theaters and video-on-demand this past weekend.  As always, we end the show with our weekly movie recommendations.
