1996 at the Movies: PHENOMENON
Sober Cinema
11/08/21 • 27 min
Twenty-five years of John Travolta being the smartest guy in the room.
And yet... everyone still hates him. This includes one of our hosts who maintains his unnatural rage anytime he sees this great actor on screen. Unfortunately that includes this Capraesque film from 1996 that is about a small town man who just wants to solve simple problems. Usually involving animal excrement to fix cars. Also he holds hands with Kyra Sedgwick. It's a joyous episode of SOBER CINEMA!

1993 at the Movies: POINT OF NO RETURN
Sober Cinema
08/02/23 • 29 min
On March 19, 1993 even Bridget Fonda confused Dermot Mulroney with Dylan McDermott.
Doesn't matter. He's just a man who will be fed ravioli erotically. And we all win by witnessing this act. Do we thank Gabriel Byrne? Anne Bancroft? Who trained Ms. Fonda to be the ultimate assassin and supportive life partner? If you believe these show notes are too wistful for the early 90s wait until you hear the episode. Please click play. Did we mention the ravioli? EROTICALLY!

Sixty Years Later: BUTTERFIELD 8
Sober Cinema
12/02/20 • 30 min
We are joined on this episode by Elizabeth Taylor enthusiast Derek Stewart of THE GRAND GESTURE to discuss sex positive attitudes and overly enthusiastic car chases being a dangerous but titillating combination for the sixty year anniversary of BUTTERFIELD 8.

Ten Years Later: LOVE & OTHER DRUGS
Sober Cinema
12/22/20 • 22 min
Grandpa Jairo officially joins the show to defend himself against impotence.
That's the episode.
Also it's the ten year anniversary(ish) of Ed Zwick's LOVE & OTHER DRUGS. You may not know who Mr. Zwick is, nor should you care because in this film about Viagra coming to market (that's where Grandpa Jairo comes in) we get a glorious bounty of sex scenes with Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway. So who cares about Zwick?
Not us.

Two Years Later: WIDOWS
Sober Cinema
12/04/20 • 29 min
We get our act together from the De Palma trash for a more serious minded thriller in Steve McQueen's WIDOWS. This includes playing "which of the WIDOWS has the best scowl and/or would go on a date with me?" and to answer such pressing questions about this very important heist movie we bring on David Giannini who continues to hate any and every movie that doesn't have Natalie Portman in it. Or Winona Ryder.
He is, without a doubt, the worst person you will ever hear on a movie podcast. Enjoy this episode and subscribe to his show A PODCAST DIRECTED BY!

Eighteen Years Later: FEMME FATALE
Sober Cinema
12/03/20 • 29 min
Noted buzzkill of lesbian activity everywhere, our guest David Giannini of A PODCAST DIRECTED BY joins the show to continue being an absolute downer at what is most assuredly the best film of 2002 in Brian De Palma's FEMME FATALE.
That is of course if your favorite movie podcast hosts could hold onto the thread with Rebecca Romijn doing a striptease and Antonia Banderas draped in leather.
Spoiler alert: they could not.
SUPERINTELLIGENCE Seven Years After HER
Sober Cinema
12/28/20 • 46 min
Since not even Google Assistant will scan the content of this podcast, consider this a safe space for your hosts to prefer the comedic stylings of A.I. assisted dating in the new HBO Max original SUPERINTELLIGENCE to the endless complaining of one Theodore Trombley as seen in the Academy Award winning HER.
Also one host trains the other two on how to increase their sex line operator performance. It's a disturbing episode of SOBER CINEMA.

Five Years Later: STEVE JOBS
Sober Cinema
12/01/20 • 28 min
Five years after its critical success and box-office failure one of your hosts is still waiting on Verizon to deliver his new iPhone but at least he got to enjoy Michael Fassbender as STEVE JOBS. We try to keep the penis talk to a minimum however our lead character makes that difficult with his massive ego and god complex.
We found all of this charming. Make sure to consume as much as possible this holiday season and ignore your children!

Thirteen Years Later: LARS AND THE REAL GIRL
Sober Cinema
11/30/20 • 25 min
Thirteen years ago the world was introduced to the sweetest romance a man can have with a sex doll in LARS AND THE REAL GIRL. On this episode we celebrate what society deems socially acceptable and somewhat cute AS LONG AS the quirky character looks like Ryan Gosling. Also we lament the lonely feeling that comes over a man when he sees an unwanted sex doll.
It's cruel and it's sad. It's SOBER CINEMA.

1992 at the Movies: RAISING CAIN
Sober Cinema
08/13/22 • 25 min
Thirty years of Brian De Palma making Hitchcockian events funny AND sexy.
Well... maybe the sexy comes up for debate on our anniversary episode for RAISING CAIN. What is not up for debate is that the Boston Celtics did not need the front court depth offered here by one idiot host (Jairo) in their 2022 playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks. We are nothing if not topical and on point as we continue to time travel back to 1992 at the movies. Some might say that this is the podcast that a quintessential STARZ cable movie like this deserves. And while we appreciate the hypothetical backhanded compliment we mainly thank you for the download. Continue to do just that at the links below:
