Semi-Cinematic

We're finally back with a brand new, essential, must-listen episode! We talk about what we've been watching recently, Max gives his Stanpick of the week, and John has a stellar free stream recommendation. In the main event, we each count down our top five crime film discoveries of the year. There's some crossover but a number of great titles are discussed. Hope you enjoy it!

Noir or not noir, that's this week's question. Or is it? Pack your bags and your best trench coat; we're heading to Europe for an Italian and a French foray into the genre. We'll begin with Mario Monicelli's Big Deal on Madonna Street (1958), which encompasses a variety of genres (is noir one of them?) and then sink deep into the French underworld in Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Doulos (1962). 

We'll chat about what we've been watching recently, and Max gives us his Stanpick of the week. John also gives his free pick of the week for the penny pinchers, and Hunter poses an interesting question. Also, don't miss out on one of the most elaborate and time-consuming segues of all time!

After a month of terror and senseless violence, we're excited to talk about one of the most beloved film genres. We're celebrating Noirvember all month long, and this week we review two classics: Max Ophuls The Reckless Moment (1949) and Robert Wise's Odds Against Tomorrow (1959). 

We talk about what we've been watching recently, and Max gives us his Stanpick of the week. There's also an extended conversation on how taste in movies changes over the years and the complexity of giving star ratings.

We're back baby! It's time for the second episode of the Semi-Cinematic podcast. Today's episode continues our October foray into the high-test and potentially lowest caliber films of the horror genre. After Hunter's classic horror anthology selections in episode 1, this episode John takes us to a wild and scary place indeed, the 1980's. We review his first time watch, Jack Sholder's The Hidden (1987) and his pick to rewatch, Fred Dekker's Night of the Creeps. As always, we'll first discuss what we've watched recently before delving in to the main reviews. As an added bonus, Max provides his Stanpick of the Week. Bye!

Welcome to the first episode of the Semi-Cinematic podcast. In today's episode, we let listeners know what to expect from the show, and each host talks about their taste in movies. We also talk about what we've been watching recently before moving into our main reviews.

We're dedicating all of our October episodes to high and low-caliber films in the horror genre. This week, we review two classic horror anthologies. Roger Corman's Tales of Terror and the Amicus produced Tales from the Crypt.
