February 05, 2026 Episode 212: MIKEY AND NICKY (76)
HOW CAN IT BE? ANTHER DOWN ON THE STREETS EPISODE OF THE INFAMOUS CINEPUNX PODCAST?
On this episode we get into a conversation discussing Mikey and Nicky, the 1976 Elaine May written and directed film that sits at the junctions of crime films, buddy films, and crushing tragedies. Josh Cassavetes and Peter Falk really make this film incredible and we spend a chunk of time parsing out what makes this classic Philly film so great.
We also spend some time lamenting the fascist take over of the country, discussing some recent cinema, and Josh reminds me of the band I was in during college. It is a cavalcade of unjustified nostalgia and questionable critical insight. Our opener song is of course CROSSED KEYS and the break song is from the band Josh discusses during the episode. NOT GORGEOUS. Ok I think that is it-

December 24, 2025 Shame List Picture Show S9E20 — Christmas Movies feat. Alonso Duralde
Season 9, Episode 20 (Originally released on December 24th, 2025) Hello and welcome to our annual Christmas celebration of The Shame List Picture Show. A Christmas episode has been a tradition since the show’s very first season, and Nick and Michael both felt it was important to keep that tradition alive. It’s the signal that one season is ending, but another is just around the corner. This week, Michael is joined by SLPS co-creator Nick Richard, along with a very special guest: Alonso Duralde. In addition to being a film critic and podcaster, Alonso is a devoted Christmas movie lover, and his book Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas has just been reissued in a brand-new, updated edition. Together, we cover a wide range of topics, including the Hallmark/Netflix cycle of Christmas films, what actually makes a movie a Christmas movie, our favorite holiday films, and—of course—the eternal question: Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Be sure to check out the newest edition of Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas, and please have a wonderful and safe holiday.

December 23, 2025 Episode 211: MIDNIGHT RUN & RUNNING ON EMPTY w/ Black Guy Fawkes
CINEPUNX RETURNS FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON!! On this incredible new episode, we discussed two films recommended by Paul Thomas Anderson, Midnight Run and Running on Empty. Joining us on this cinematic adventure is Blavk Guy Fawkes aka Ian Robinson, and we were delighted to talk to him
I won’t waste your time with more apologies about our huge break. If you listen to the episode, you’ll hear why it’s been such a long gap between episodes and there’s some good reasons there but also we’ve just been enjoying life. On top of that it’s the holidays so I have things to do for family and quite honestly my laptop is broken again so until I get that fixed, I won’t be typing anything. You’re reading this from my voice to text! Thanks for keeping the faith

December 19, 2025 Shame List Picture Show S9E19 — Frankenstein feat. Jason Hillman
Season 9, Episode 19 (Originally released on December 18th, 2025) Hello and welcome to another episode of The Shame List Picture Show. Today, Jason Hillman returns to the pod to talk Frankenstein — not just Guillermo del Toro’s latest opus, but the monster and myth across its many adaptations. Michael and Jason wax philosophically on what works (and doesn’t) in Frankenstein on film. Spoiler: Michael is far more forgiving than Jason. One point of total agreement, however, is their shared love for Kenneth Branagh’s Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. We dig into all of it.

November 25, 2025 Shame List Picture Show S9E17 — Hooptober XII feat. Amanda Viers
Season 9, Episode 17 (Originally released on November 24th, 2025) Welcome back to another episode of the Shame List Picture Show! This time, Michael is joined by his life partner, Amanda Viers, to discuss all things Hooptober. Hooptober, for those unfamiliar, is a horror-themed movie-watching challenge in which participants aim to watch 31 horror films that meet a set of specific criteria. Created by Letterboxd user Cinemonster, this is its twelfth year, and Michael and Amanda’s first time participating. In this episode, they break down the challenge, the films they watched, how they made their selections, and any obstacles that came up along the way. It’s a loose, freewheeling conversation and a lot of fun. Be sure to check out our Patreon at www.patreon.com/shamelistpictureshow

October 31, 2025 Shame List Picture Show S9E16 — The Others (2001)
Season 9, Episode 16 (Originally Released on October 30th, 2025) Welcome back to the Shame List Picture Show. Today, I’m joined by comedian, filmmaker, and host of the long-running podcast It’s Always Halloween, Lucé Tomlin-Brenner. Lucé’s deep love for classic horror and appreciation for the macabre make her the perfect guest to join me in revisiting Alejandro Amenábar’s The Others — a Gothic ghost story steeped in atmosphere, grief, and faith. In this episode, we’ll dig into what defines Gothic horror and why The Others stands as one of the last great studio ghost films of its era. We’ll talk about Amenábar’s inspirations, the film’s critical and box office success, and the enduring emotional weight of Nicole Kidman’s performance. So light a few candles, draw the curtains, and join us as we wander through the fog and shadows of The Others. Be sure to check out our Patreon at www.patreon.com/shamelistpictureshow

October 13, 2025 Shame List Picture Show S9E15 — One Battle After Another (2025) feat. Jason Hillman
Season 9, Episode 15 (Originally Released on October 13th, 2025) Welcome back to the Shame List Picture Show. On this episode, I’m joined by photographer/filmmaker/renaissance man and returning guest Jason Hillman to talk about Paul Thomas Anderson’s newest film, One Battle After Another. Jason and I delve into how this film fits within Anderson’s body of work, its striking portrayal of modern disillusionment, and the ways it both builds upon and challenges his signature style. We also discuss performances, skills, and why this might be one of PTA's most personal films. If you’re a fan of There Will Be Blood or The Master, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

October 08, 2025 Episode 210: 3 WOMEN w/ Annapurna Sriram, Director of FUCKTOYS
OMG OMG OMG I cannot BELIEVE the episode we have for you today. Hey friends, welcome back to another incredible episode of Cinepunx, the podcast that just won’t quit! On this episode we were blessed to welcome writer/director/actor Annapurna Sriram of Fucktoys
If for some reason you missed our incredible episode with Justin Pearson discussing how much we loved this movie, you can find it here.
I don’t wanna be presumptuous but I am relatively sure Annapurna is like really our friend now, which rules. I never doubted it honestly. On this episode we were so excited not only to discuss some of the making of Fucktoys but also the movie she chose for us to discuss, Robert Altman’s 3 Women.
As well as diving deep on both movies, we do our usual Wack and On Track gimmick and discuss all manner of awesome and terrible things. You know, its a podcast, we say stuff and it is cool It was an insane gift to get to talk to Annapurna and I really hope we get to do it again cause she was so fun and interesting to discuss film and life with! You have to see her movie if it comes anywhere near you! Go to the one night screening or festival ASAP and you will not regret it! Our intro song is a weird Big Freedia track (fingers crossed spotify doesn’t nail us for it) and the break song is from Ink & Dagger because of course it is. I cannot remember honestly if there is anything special I needed to post in the notes so just hit me up if I forgot something. Love yall!

September 17, 2025 Episode 209: BOUND(96), HONEY DON'T!(25) w/ Adrianna Gober
Hey friends, good to see you! On this episode of CINEPUNX we are joined by our friend and yours, Adrianna, to discuss two sapphic noir films: BOUND and HONEY DON’T!
Because Josh so recently expressed his displeasure with one of these movies you might think this episode is some kind of set up, but trust me, that is not what this is. Adrianna is a thoughtful and insightful film expert and she has very interesting things to say about both films and the conversation is a lot of fun. The truth is we love Adrianna so we would have her on to discuss anything at all. I have to apologize though, we recorded this a bit ago but I had to edit this one myself and I just kept putting it off due to life stuff. Sorry friends
Honestly, when the world is falling apart and everywhere you look it is easy to forget how good life can be because the evil folks are winning again and again; talking with friends about shit you love is just a gift. Thank you for the gift of your attention to it. I appreciate it greatly. We do all our usual gimmicks as far as wack and on track. I don’t THINK I need to provide any links but hit me up if you want some connects. Our opener song is MINDFORCE and the break song is RIGOROUS INSTITUTION from here in Portland. Ok thanks buds.
