Cinemoddities Late Night Movies With Rob & Zack

Episode 209 - Clockstoppers (2002)   A new month, a new series, so what better topic to cover than what we here at Cinemoddities do all the time: going through the turnstiles!  We're covering movies about time travel in March, starting with Rob, Zack, and Ben scrutinizing a time-dilation movie from their childhood; it's "Clockstoppers"!  But how much is wrong with the "science" in this movie?  How many takes does Jonathan Frakes need?  Where will the Cinemoddities gang take a vacation?  Listen in to find out!   If you would like to fund our next vacation and get access to even more episodes, subscribe to the Cinemoddities patreon!  www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    Download Ben's Life Counter app for Magic: The Gathering, now free, on the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zianderthalapps.life_counter) or the Apple store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zianderthal-tcg-life-counter/id1555106877), and be sure to shop at TCGplayer using Ben's affiliate link: bit.ly/TheLifeCounter

Episode 207 - The Nowhere Inn (2021)   We're talking about one of Rob's favorite films and artists, it's St. Vincent's "The Nowhere Inn"!  Join Ben and Rob as they dive into a relatively unknown film that is somehow incredibly strange yet accessible.  But what is the appeal of eating things that taste like dirt?  Is there any way to get the faster swim?  Does this movie make any sense?  And did you just say MF?  Tune in to find out!  Also, sorry for some of the rough audio in this one, Rob didn't mix things properly during the recording!   Subscribe to the Cinemoddities patreon for even more episodes and to support the podcast at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    Download Ben's Life Counter app for Magic: The Gathering, now free, on the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zianderthalapps.life_counter) or the Apple store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zianderthal-tcg-life-counter/id1555106877), and be sure to shop at TCGplayer using Ben's affiliate link: bit.ly/TheLifeCounter   

Episode 206 - 8 Mile (2002)   This week, Rob & Ben dive into one of their favorite artists and the semi-autobiographical movie about him, it's Eminem and "8 Mile"!  Listen in as they take a deep dive into Eminem's history and discuss some problematic topics.  But are Eminem's lyrics homophobic?  How good is the song "Lose Yourself"?  Why did Eminem only ever star in one film?  How many freaky girls are there?  Tune in to find out!   Follow this link to read about Curtis Hanson's career: https://variety.com/2016/film/columns/curtis-hanson-l-a-confidential-8-mile-1201867041/    Download Ben's Life Counter app for Magic: The Gathering, now free, on the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zianderthalapps.life_counter) or the Apple store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zianderthal-tcg-life-counter/id1555106877), and be sure to shop at TCGplayer using Ben's affiliate link: bit.ly/TheLifeCounter    Check out the Cinemoddities patreon for even more episodes and to support the podc

Episode 205 - Crestone (2020)   Join Rob & Ben as they revisit and older series: Music Movies!  This month they'll be covering movies that are about music or contain music, and they start with a completely obscure documentary about a group of SoundCloud rappers that live in the desert.  It's Marnie Ellen Hertzler's "Crestone"!  But what is the deal with this movie?  Is it about anything?  How did they even find out about this motion picture?  What's the purpose of the beans in the wall?  It's a dense one, so tune in to find out!   For more info about Marnie Ellen Hertzler and to see her short films, check out her website at https://marnieellen.com/    Download Ben's Life Counter app for Magic: The Gathering, now free, on the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zianderthalapps.life_counter) or the Apple store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zianderthal-tcg-life-counter/id1555106877), and be sure to shop at TCGplayer using Ben's affiliate link: bit.ly/TheLifeCounter   Subscr

Episode 204 - The Matrix Resurrections (2021)   It's finally here!  Rob & Zack dive into the fourth installment of The Matrix franchise, and it's an episode that is as convoluted as the lore of the movies themselves.  Listen in as they find themselves stuck in the strange, repeating loops of the turnstiles as two separate conversations - one inside of the matrix and one in the real world - blend together and still barely scratch the surface of this film!  But what's the deal with the Internet and blue hair?  How much of their discussion of the first three films matters for this movie?  Why does Rob have a strange relationship with Guy Ritchie's "Aladdin"?  All this, and a fight about lemons!   Subscribe to the Cinemoddities patreon at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities for access to more episodes and to support the podcast!   Harass us through email at Cinemoddities@gmail.com and check out the Cinemoddities subreddit at www.reddit.com/r/Cinemoddities for more information about the show!   Thank you to

Episode 203 - The Shivering Truth   Yet another discussion on a PFFR and Vernon Chatman project is here!  This time, Rob & Zack dive into the dark surrealism of Adult Swim's "The Shivering Truth".  Join them and their insecurity to talk about a show they all like, yet the discussion is contentious as ever.  How does this show stack up against Wondershowzen?  Does Vernon Chatman have something to say?  What does this have to do with the short-lived British show "Jam"?  Tune in to find out!   Follow this link to check out the article where Vernon Chatman and Cat Solen talk about the show: https://www.animationmagazine.net/tv/adult-swims-the-shivering-truthnightmares-in-stop-motion/    Check out the Cinemoddities patreon and subscribe to get even more episodes and to support the podcast!  www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    Harass us through email at Cinemoddities@gmail.com and check out the subreddit at www.reddit.com/r/Cinemoddities for more information about the show.   Thank you to An Insperiority

Episode 202 - Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)   The cap on our Spider-Man series is here!  Listen in as Ben & Rob discuss the massively successful new installment in the MCU.  Which one of them had more problems with the movie?  Has Disney completed the first "nostalgia purchase"?  Will this movie usher in a new age of multiverse and crossover movies?  And, probably most importantly, how do these portals work?   Check out the Cinemoddities patreon at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities for more episodes and to support the show!   Download Ben's Life Counter app for Magic: The Gathering, now free, on the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zianderthalapps.life_counter) or the Apple store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zianderthal-tcg-life-counter/id1555106877), and be sure to shop at TCGplayer using Ben's affiliate link: bit.ly/TheLifeCounter    Harass us with your thoughts on portals through Cinemoddities@gmail.com and check out the Cinemoddities subreddit for more information a

Episode 201 - Wild Wild West (1999)   We reference it way too much when it barely has any connection to our main topic, so we finally decided to give it the main spotlight; it's "Wild Wild West"!  A stacked cast, a ton of money, an update of a classic TV show, what could go wrong?  Well, pretty much everything.  Tune in for Rob & Zack discussing a nearly universally hated movie that has never left their minds.  Is this movie really that bad, though?  What is the deal with Will Smith and his kids?  How did Kenneth Branagh reprise his role as Arliss Loveless twenty years later?  Listen in to find out!   Find the complete version of the music video for Will Smith's "Wild Wild West" here: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9un5i?fbclid=IwAR1-BGreJAcom7vmJc88XI0lBcy201d0SfIYj5ZlE_U5Uw-oXgWLcWR_wWQ    Check out the Cinemoddities patreon for access to even more bonus content and to support the podcast!  www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    Harass us through email using Cinemoddities@gmail.com and be sure to

Episode 200 - Jupiter Ascending (2015)   We've made it to 200 episodes!  To celebrate, we're not covering the new Matrix, the new Spider-Man, or even Jonathan Peters and "Licorice Pizza", but Zack is taking over and we're discussing an expensive box-office disaster!  This episode was recorded back in September of 2021 when Rob & Zack were together, so excuse the audio quality.  There're tax grievances, there's talk about women selling their eggs, there're Wachowski rankings, there's talk about things covered in the last three weeks because we are always going through the turnstiles!   Check out and subscribe to the Cinemoddities patreon at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities to get access to even more content and to support the podcast!   Harass us with your Wachowski thoughts through email using Cinemoddities@gmail.com and check out the Cinemoddities subreddit at www.reddit.com/r/Cinemoddities for more info about the show   Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song!  Follow this

Episode 199 - The Matrix Revolutions (2003)   We have reached the end of The Matrix franchise...for now!  Another one of the most reviled sequels in film history, there's no surprise what Rob thinks about this conclusion, but how does it hold up for Zack?  He's stated it's his favorite of the three, so tune in to hear if that is still the case.  Also, there's talk about the remaining Animatrix segments, the Path of Neo video game, and of course, the Matrix Online.  How will all of these things come together for The Matrix Resurrections?   Subscribe to the Cinemoddities patreon to get some non-Matrix, Christmas-related content and to support the show!   Harass us with your thoughts about The Matrix through email using Cinemoddities@gmail.com and check out the Cinemoddities subdreddit for more information about the show at www.reddit.com/r/Cinemoddities    Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song!  Follow this link to hear more of their music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mP

Episode 194 - Jon Watts' Spider-Man MCU Movies - Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)   Getting to more movies from the Marvel cinematic universe was inevitable, and Zack just knew he'd be able to wrangle Rob into it eventually.  Listen in on them and Ben discussing the state of the MCU, what we find interesting and uninteresting about these movies, and some editing blips because Thanos snapped Rob's audio out of existence at a few moments.   At a point in this episode, Ben thinks a character from "The Amazing Spider-Man" from last week looks very similar to a character in "Spider-Man: Homecoming".  It seems that his comparison is between Irrfan Khan and Tony Revolori!  Let us know what you think about this comparison by emailing us at Cinemoddities@gmail.com or through the Cinemoddities subreddit at www.reddit.com/r/Cinemoddites    Check out the Cinemoddities patreon and subscribe to get even more episodes and to support the podcast at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    Fi
