Journey to the Center of Cinema

It's that time of year again! The Academy Awards are just around the corner and that means 10 movies have been named as the best of the best of 2022. Ben and Tristan have seen all 10 and are ready to talk about them, but this time around they've covered 3 in depth already. So please welcome Bart as he joins the hosts on a journey to the center of the 10 best picture nominees of the 2023 Oscars! From the seas of Pandora to the hills of Ireland and every multiverse between, it's sure to be a good time.

Note: Women Talking covers topics that could be trigging to some, we understand if you don't want to listen to the discussion of this film it starts at 1:30:48 and ends at 1:43:24. 

Note: We were wrong in the number of Oscars Babylon was nominated for. On top of the Best Original Score it was also nominated for Best Costume Design and Best Production Design. 

We continue our journey to boost our nerd cred. This time, we take a journey to a place where no Tristan has gone before. Star Trek! Join Ben and Tristan as they talk about one of the biggest nerd franchises out there. Today, we take a voyage with Star Trek the Motion Picture and Star Trek 2009

Ben and Tristan are famously nerds. They like a lot of nerdy things, but is it possible that they have missed some nerdy things? Join them on the first episode of our miniseries Bad Nerds. First stop, Akira.

Hey there! Yes, we are still doing this! This episode Ben and Tristan go through each of their top 10 movies of the year 2022, along with a few honorable mentions. So sit back, relax, and take a journey through the top 10 movies of 2022.

Join us as we take a Journey with the best picture nominees of 2022.

(A note from Tristan: We had some issues with Ben's audio during recording so it sounds like its raining on his end. Thanks for listening! Be good and if you can't be good, be careful).

Ben and Tristan take a trip with a unique movie that is both a documentary and a drama. Follow along as they discuss one of the most interesting movies they have ever covered, American Animals.

2021 may have had the most superhero/comic book movies and shows in recent memory. When deciding what to do episodes on Ben and Tristan tried to stay away from comic book movies because they tend to gush about those (for the most part). BUT, to celebrate the new year Ben and Tristan would like to invite you on a journey through most of the superhero content they could find. Take a journey with them on this retrospective of the year 2021 through the lens of the superheroes we adventured with. Spoilers abound in this episode, you have been warned. 

Ben and Tristan take a not too scary journey to the center to a couple of very fun horror comedy films. Join them as they follow the twists and loops of the Happy Death Day films.

Ben and Tristan journey with a modern classic. Follow them as they join Nic Cage as he searches for a treasure that may or may not be real and to find out if this movie holds up after nearly a decade.

Ben and Tristan talk about the 2019 film about grief and how we process it. Join them on a journey to the center of both grief and the movie the Farewell.
