On this edition of the Cinema Clash: An epic monster movie that’s thin on story but big on spectacle; a love triangle wrapped in a weak war drama set in the Ottoman Empire; Shirley MacLaine gets the The Last Word in a film that Charlie detests and Hannah struggles to defend; a Chilean poet-turned-politician gets the fictionalized biopic treatment; and not one, not two, but three French films for the cinephilic Francophile (aka Charlie). Ooh-la-la! Let the Clash begin!

On this edition of the Cinema Clash: A grim final farewell to Logan; Table19 serves up some lukewarm wedding comedy; BeforeIFall aims for the YA crowd; LandOfMine wins Charlie’s vote for best foreign language film; MyLifeAsAZucchini offers up a smart, animated tale about orphans (not veggies); and Hannah mixes up her mammals.

On this edition of the Cinema Clash: The best movie of 2017 so far. You’ll want to Get Out and see it! Plus: the (pooper) scoop on the Chinese-American computer-animated comedy Rock Dog; the philosophical underpinnings of Kedi, a documentary about cats in Istanbul; the bitter truth about Bitter Harvest; a mockumentary drama about a struggling comedian looking for his big break in Punching Henry; a preview of the Oscars; and beer. Let the clash begin!

On this edition of the Cinema Clash: Charlie and Hannah discuss why The Great Wall would be worse than mediocre without the star power of Matt Damon; and Charlie applauds the “originality” of a ridiculously long psychological thriller that Hannah would rather forget.

A week of new movies full of sequels. Charlie and Hannah debate The LEGO Batman Movie, Fifty Shades Darker, a John Wick Chapter 2, and offer a round-up of the 15 Oscar nominated short films; our favorites and what we think we will. And oh yeah, the most spot-on wine choice in the history of the podcast!
