Episode 66: The Hunt for Red October

Cinemavention

02/12/23 • 71 min

I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck... maybe even a "recreational vehicle." And drive from state to state. Do they let you do that? We are joined by regular Game Night contributor Jeffrey Sax to discuss the movie The Hunt for Red October. What happens when you know so much about submarines that you unknowingly figure out information about them that is classified? That's the exact scenario that Tom Clancy found himself in when he released the original novel that this movie is based on. We speculate what would happen if he hypothetically accidentally leaked classified information as a result of writing this story. Plus, an actor in this movie has had quite the career including being elected as a real life senator and then later starring in Law and Order and does Ramius have a reason for defecting from the Soviet Union, and is it a sound one?

Episode 63: Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey

Cinemavention

02/07/23 • 72 min

Ted, you know, if I die, you can have my Megadeth collection. But dude, we are already dead. We are joined by regular Game Night contributor Brian Kofford to discuss the sequel movie Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and he has an interesting observation about the famous air guitar riff that Bill and Ted constantly perform. De Nomolos was annoyed by the sound of it but presumably only Bill and Ted can hear it. We go over a small detail in the movie that could explain why he can. Plus, we have a sad update on a very famous location shown in the Bill and Ted franchise that has closed its doors and this film is not a time travel movie but rather a defeating mortality story, does that hinder the movie experience?

Your mom goes to college. We are joined by both Anthony Lemos and Kent Fellure from the Ritual Misery podcast and the Diamond Club Streamathon to talk about the film Napoleon Dynamite. There are people who say that there is no point to this movie, Willie disagrees with that opinion and says that there is. We answer the question of what the point of Napoleon Dynamite really is once and for all. Plus, we talk about how this movie is so accurate for its time down to the technology, the school atmosphere and even Napoleon's home, except for Kip and Lafawnduh's online relationship that somehow isn't a catfish and what exactly is the point of class president elections in school, is it just a pretty title?

Episode 75: Avengers: Endgame

Cinemavention

Producer's note: At times, there might be discussion and potential spoilers of other Marvel movies in this episode.

Avengers assemble! We've made it, it's time to watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in theaters, but before we do, we've got some unfinished Avengers business to take care of. Naaim Siddiqi from the Rain Delay Radio podcast is back to cover part 2 of the Infinity War story, the 3 hour masterpiece, Avengers: Endgame. This movie is set in 2023 despite being released in 2019, notably before COVID ravaged the planet in real life. With the post-COVID hindsight in mind, it puts this movie in a new perspective and we compare real life trauma of 9/11 and COVID to the "snap." Did COVID accidentally fix the Marvel timeline? Plus, Naaim has a theater manager story where an employee got fired as a result of an early screening of this film and is the final battle scene with all the women heroes just a tone deaf pandering spectacle?

Kick names, take ass. As we get ready for Guardians 3, we have now reached the final movies of Phase Three, arguably the most important MCU movies. We begin with Avengers: Infinity War and we are joined by Naaim Siddiqi from the Rain Delay Radio podcast. Naaim explains to us why this is his favorite Avengers movie because of how it can tell a bunch of different stories and still keep everything concise. Plus, is the whole ending of this movie Star Lord's fault and do we have Thanos all wrong, is he actually the protagonist of this movie?

Episode 73: Thor: Ragnarok

Producer's note: At times, there might be discussion and potential spoilers of other Marvel movies in this episode.

Yeah, it’s called the... uh... Revengers! Kent Fellure from the Ritual Misery podcast joins us as we continue our Guardians 3 Marvel watch-through and this time we're covering a Thor movie, specifically Thor: Ragnarok. This movie showcases Loki in a very different light than The Avengers and we've come up with the term "anti-villain" to describe him, we'll explain. Plus, Kent talks about this movie's similar Guardians humor and why these MCU movies break down a long standing trope of "serious" comic book movies and why that's a good thing and despite Asgard being destroyed in the end, as a viewer it seems like there's no emotional connection or attachment to it being destroyed, but why is that?

Producer's note: At times, there might be discussion and spoilers of other Star Wars movies in this episode.

No, I am your father! It's Star Wars Day and we are joined by Kent Fellure from the Ritual Misery podcast to continue our Star Wars series of episodes. This time, we'll be discussing the 2nd movie released, Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back. While this movie appears on the surface to just be a Luke Skywalker training session, could it just be more of a reinforcement to make sure Luke doesn't join the Dark Side? Plus, this Star Wars movie along with the others in the trilogy have edits that were made after the movie's release, a total of 4 to be exact. Some Star Wars purists believe that the movies shouldn't have been tampered with, but we discuss why these changes may actually have been necessary, and the big reveal at the end of this movie is the biggest spoiler of all time, does it ruin the viewing experience for a first time watcher?
