- 1996 at the Movies: PHENOMENONTwenty-five years of John Travolta being the smartest guy in the room.
And yet... everyone still hates him. This includes one of our hosts who maintains his unnatural rage anytime he sees this great actor on screen. Unfortunately that includes this Capraesque film from 1996 that is about a small town man who just wants to solve simple problems. Usually involving animal excrement to fix cars. Also he holds hands with Kyra Sedgwick. It's a joyous episode of SOBER CINEMA!

28 min - 1996 at the Movies: STRIPTEASETwenty-five years of Annie Lennox killing STRIPTEASE for us all.
This is it. The entire reason we are covering the year of 1996 in film. And all we have to show for it is:
- One of our co-hosts (his name is Jairo) ruining the official SOBER CINEMA group text thread with an image of himself in a bathtub.
- One of our co-hosts (Jairo again) insisting on doing his Burt Reynolds impression talking about "feeling it in his boots" as a once great man is now covered in Vaseline.
- And also one co-host (still Jairo, of course) bringing up Demi Moore's powerlifting abilities while also disparaging Moore's daughter for ruining the powerlifting performance.
But we applaud Demi getting paid. We just wish the movie was better.
And less Annie Lennox music. We don't ask for much.

27 min - 1996 at the Movies: ERASERTwenty-five years of James Caan's moving parts.
We didn't remember much about Arnold Schwarzenegger's last hurrah as an action star but ERASER somehow managed to provide us room to provide the definitive guesswork on the motivations of James Cromwell in this film:
- Upset with James Caan's nipples.
- Upset with Vanessa Williams' ability to burn a CD.
- Upset with Arnold Schwarzenegger's antics with a CGI alligator.
As we said. DEFINITIVE.

43 min - 1996 at the Movies: THE CABLE GUYTwenty-five years of obscene word games with Matthew Broderick's family.
The above is not the only sin Jim Carrey committed as THE CABLE GUY, one of the "bombs" of 1996 that accomplished the goal of revealing all of the buzzkills in our society. Such as:
- Those that don't appreciate a deluxe home entertainment as a friendly gift.
- Or an arranged date with a lady of the night.
- Or warm eggs lovingly prepared by a new best friend.
In honor of no buzzkills ruining Ben Stiller's comedy masterpiece... our co-host Jairo was not allowed to attend this recording. Enjoy!

38 min - 1996 at the Movies: THE PHANTOMTwenty-five years of white saviors in purple spandex.
Okay, so maybe it was more like one terrible opening weekend for that particular superhero trope and for that we lay the blame all around for the auteur Simon Wincer's summer blockbuster that wasn't:
- Treat Williams being bad... but not bad enough as the villain.
- Catherine Zeta-Jones being sidelined to a volume shooter off the bench.
- And Kristy Swanson's strange fascination with Jon Lovitz which we didn't know at the time... but we could tell that there was something off about her in 1996.
All of that and a discussion on white privilege from two whites in regards to a movie with the ultimate leading man of the whites, Billy Zane!

30 min - 1996 at the Movies: DRAGONHEARTTwenty-five years of evil gingers and dragons moved to tears over a pet names.
The only good thing about this podcast experience was that the host who was most excited to do his Sean Connery as a dragon impression was absent.
That's it.
Enjoy our episode on DRAGONHEART!

26 min - 1996 at the Movies: MISSION IMPOSSIBLETwenty-five years of still not being able to pronounce the French female lead's name.
And we wish we could forget that idiot Jon Voight's name who has managed to out crazy Tom Cruise.
Also he's far less handsome. And far less charismatic. What a jerk. Meanwhile we find ourselves being jerks to Leslie Neilson of all people. Our apologies but enjoy our episode on one of the biggest hits of 1996 in Brian De Palma's MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE!

24 min - 1996 at the Movies: HEAVEN'S PRISONERSTwenty-five years of staying away from fighting Eric Roberts.
Especially when he has cornrows.
A lot of interesting visuals in Phil Joanou's HEAVEN'S PRISONERS. Including the entirety of our research material which includes perusing Teri Hatcher on Mr. Skin. But then like the Grinch... our cynical movie watching (and deeply perverted) hearts grew three times larger than our nether regions as we came under the sway of Alec Baldwin's bayou detective.
That and we insult our missing host Jairo without having to go through the grunt work of editing out his pitiful retorts. Enjoy the episode!

33 min - 1996 at the Movies: TWISTERTwenty-five years of living in The Suck Zone.
Apparently your three hosts can't agree on the greatness of Helen Hunt, Helen Hunt's tank top, or Bill Paxton... but Philip Seymour Hoffman does move us in interesting ways.
Jan de Bont's TWISTER is a look at a profession/hobby that is "one step above LARPing" according to one super-Jamie Gertz fan. We continue to misunderstand the movies of 1996 but we do understand wet t-shirts.

27 min - 1996 at the Movies: THE PALLBEARERTwenty-five years of supporting Goop and hating Ross.
On this episode your three hosts ignore what Entertainment Weekly once put on the cover of their Spring Movie Preview THE PALLBEARER to instead learn how to change their Zoom backgrounds.
Also we discuss breadsticks. Enjoy!
