On this episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha continue their exploration of 2004's SIDEWAYS directed by Alexander Payne and starring Paul Giamatti, Virginia Madsen, Thomas Haden Church and Sandra Oh. A wonderful time capsule of a film that was a surprising hit for everyone involved garnering 5 Academy Award nominations with a win for Best Adapted Screenplay and changing the wine industry forever. This episode picks up right after Jack has told Miles about Victoria's marriage. We see Miles deal with his pain over that news, explore him getting closer to Maya as Jack and Stephanie indulge their physical desires and glimpse happiness until one fateful slip of Miles's tongue changes everything. The guys go thru the movie scene by scene to break down the direction, acting, story beats, soundtrack choices and action sequences.

This week on The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha wrap up 2024 with a compilation of their favorite Patreon shorts from 2024. These are shorts that are usually only heard by our Patrons, but we wanted to make them available to everyone and possibly motivate some of you all to join our Patreon who might be on the fence. On this compilation, we discuss RDJ's return to the MCU as Doctor Doom, the new auteur filmmakers in our cinemas today, how algorithms are affecting our entertainment and the films we are watching, a behind the scenes peek behind the curtains at how we make The Cine-Files and some topics we felt like talking about that day and we wrap up with our favorite FMK of the year! Thank you to everyone who supports, listens and/or promotes our show. We hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season and we wish you a Happy New Year!
