Esoterica Cinema

We're still here in the off-season doing what we do best...talking about movies!

Today's episode came about through an off-hand comment via Twitter. MJ, in a very joking/not joking fashion, casually remarked that he felt (and still feels) that the Color of Money has never gotten the recognition it deserves, and that he would love to go on a film program and talk about it.

ENTER ESOTERICA CINEMA!

Naturally, we couldn't let such an opportunity pass us by, so we hit him up, and the result is this episode you hear before you.

MJ was a great guest with a lot of insight on why this film doesn't deserve a lot of the hate that it gets.

We hope you enjoy listening to the conversation as much as we enjoyed having MJ on the show!

Today we are bringing you something a little different, as we analyze not a movie but *gasp* a television show!

But we're not just looking at any old show, no. This is Neon Genesis Evangelion, and we're specifically looking at the final 6 episodes in an attempt to figure out just what the what is going on in this deeply metaphorical series.

Now, for this series, Ryan took a backseat while Jason dove in head first. Does this mean you're stuck with Jason for 3-1/2 hours? No, because he went out and got friend of the show Jesse from Sudden But Inevitable to join him for the whole dang thing!

Now, for the series proper, we've split the discussion up into 3 episodes to be released every two weeks...and then, we jump into End of Evangelion (!).

Enjoy the third and final part of this amazing discussion, sci-fi & anime friends!

During this off-season of Esoterica Cinema, we've been introducing new features and content such as our 5 Minute Review Series!

5 Minute Reviews feature Jason or Ryan breaking down a given film from the Esoterica Cinema universe in - you guessed it - five minutes! But it's an Esoterica Cinema five minutes which means they'll typically clock in around ten.

Our 5 Minute Reviews are short-form and spoiler-free, so absolutely anyone can enjoy whether they've seen the film or not.

Today, join Ryan as he breaks down the 2017 film Blade Runner 2049, written by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green, directed by Denis Villeneuve, and starring Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, and Ana de Armas.

Stay tuned for plenty more where this came from! And if there's a particular film you'd like for us to review, drop us a line on Twitter, IG, or Gmail @esotericacinema

During this off-season of Esoterica Cinema, we wanted to take a moment to show some appreciation to our fans.

The other day, a guy by the name of Nick hit us up on IG and told us how much he loved the show and asked if we had ever seen this film The Beast?

After responding that we had not, Nick proceeded to break down the many reasons why this is a film worth checking out, and it didn't take long for us to be sold.

Nick - thanks for being an awesome fan of film and the show, we dedicate this episode to you, and all of the Esoterica Cinema fans that give us a reason to keep doing the program.
