Sober Cinema

Since not even Google Assistant will scan the content of this podcast, consider this a safe space for your hosts to prefer the comedic stylings of A.I. assisted dating in the new HBO Max original SUPERINTELLIGE to the endless complaining of one Theodore Trombley as seen in the Academy Award winning HER.

Also one host trains the other two on how to increase their sex line operator performance. It's a disturbing episode of SOBER CINEMA.

Grandpa Jairo officially joins the show to defend himself against impotence.

That's the episode.

Also it's the ten year anniversary(ish) of Ed Zwick's LOVE & OTHER DRUGS. You may not know who Mr. Zwick is, nor should you care because in this film about Viagra coming to market (that's where Grandpa Jairo comes in) we get a glorious bounty of sex scenes with Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway. So who cares about Zwick?

Not us.

We get our act together from the De Palma trash for a more serious minded thriller in Steve McQueen's WIDOWS. This includes playing "which of the WIDOWS has the best scowl and/or would go on a date with me?" and to answer such pressing questions about this very important heist movie we bring on David Giannini who continues to hate any and every movie that doesn't have Natalie Portman in it. Or Winona Ryder.

He is, without a doubt, the worst person you will ever hear on a movie podcast. Enjoy this episode and subscribe to his show A PODCAST DIRECTED BY!

Noted buzzkill of lesbian activity everywhere, our guest David Giannini of A PODCAST DIRECTED BY joins the show to continue being an absolute downer at what is most assuredly the best film of 2002 in Brian De Palma's FEMME FATALE.

That is of course if your favorite movie podcast hosts could hold onto the thread with Rebecca Romijn doing a striptease and Antonia Banderas draped in leather.

Spoiler alert: they could not.

We are joined on this episode by Elizabeth Taylor enthusiast Derek Stewart of THE GRAND GESTURE to discuss sex positive attitudes and overly enthusiastic car chases being a dangerous but titillating combination for the sixty year anniversary of BUTTERFIELD 8.

Five years after its critical success and box-office failure one of your hosts is still waiting on Verizon to deliver his new iPhone but at least he got to enjoy Michael Fassbender as STEVE JOBS. We try to keep the penis talk to a minimum however our lead character makes that difficult with his massive ego and god complex.

We found all of this charming. Make sure to consume as much as possible this holiday season and ignore your children!

Thirteen years ago the world was introduced to the sweetest romance a man can have with a sex doll in LARS AND THE REAL GIRL. On this episode we celebrate what society deems socially acceptable and somewhat cute AS LONG AS the quirky character looks like Ryan Gosling. Also we lament the lonely feeling that comes over a man when he sees an unwanted sex doll.

It's cruel and it's sad. It's SOBER CINEMA.

We object to the public medical examinations conducted by Sir (questionable) Anthony Hopkins in THE ELEPHANT MAN and wonder if getting naked would have turned the tables on all those jerks in this 1980 David Lynch film.

Our conclusion? Yes. Most definitely, yes.

One year later the joke is on us because Todd Phillips' JOKER has not improved. So instead we talk about kinky sex in a refrigerator (take that, Indiana Jones!) and how the only people that like clowns are those who still prefer death and apparently the Academy Awards.

Listen to our latest episode with a booming soundtrack of JOCK JAMS and then dance like an idiot. All eight of you.

Small town life suits us just fine. Nobody bothers us. Nobody listens to this podcast. We are basically carbon copies of Viggo Mortensen. Penis and all.

Enjoy the fifteen year anniversary of A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE!
