In this episode of Cinematic Release, Jeremiah and Thad discuss the issues with the evolution of modern film franchises.

The Trouble with Franchises

Join Jeremiah, Kara, and Thad (and maybe even an extra guest!) as they explore the past, present, and future of film.

TV & Film

The gang's all here. Back from a hiatus and ready to talk about all the ways not to watch movies. Because, believe it or not, some people are doing it wrong.

How NOT to Watch Movies

This month we hand the reigns over to Kara as we look at two of her picks: Nightbreed (Director's Cut) and Return to Oz.

Misfits vs. Fascism

Kara, Thad, and Jeremiah take a look at two Nick Hornby adaptations: "High Fidelity" and "Juliet, Naked", and look at how they portray fandom and toxic masculinity.

The Hornby Tapes

The trio discusses two films by creature designer and director Keita Amemiya: Zeiram (1991) and Mechanical Violator Hakaider (1995).
