Welcome to our Staff Picks

Hey there Coronapocalypse survivors. Are you starting to feel that edge just a little bit? Even getting out and going for walks and enjoying what sunshine we have is there’s a bit of a something that just keeps gnawing at you? Yeah I’d say at this point that’s pretty standard fare. You can crank the intensity up a couple notches if your career has been put on hold or displaced. …

Trolls World Tour Worth the Price of Admission

This past weekend, whether you knew it or not, you were privy to a turning point in movie history. There’s probably been a number of different rites of passage that the cinematic industry has undergone in my lifetime but I’d hesitate to say all of them were as noteworthy as the digital rental release of “Trolls World Tour”. I know, it seems a bit silly to hype this up as …

34: Who Played it Better? (Three Amigos/Caddyshack)

This time around we are doing a long awaited return to one of growing favorites, Who Played it Better.

33: Cinematic State of the Union

I’d like to formally welcome everyone back to the new and improved, COVID-19 approved Cinemasters of the Universe! We had to take a break and retool our configuration to bring you the same great quality podcasting with a twist of social distancing, because we’re that kind of responsible. But now that we’ve done all that, washed our hands down to the bones and watched the world melt into oblivion, we …

Downhill is Cringey Dramedy Done Well

The 2020 February comedy starring Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus did a few things wrong but I feel like they snowballed into an avalanche of unfair criticism. See what I did there? And then what I did there by saying “See what I did there?” Both were quite clever given the subject matter. So I feel like this particular review is off to a decent start. But lets not focus …

One Matinee Ticket for Coronapocalypse, Please

So things are a just a smidgen nuttier than the cumulative total of all rejected goodies from a 3rd grade bake sale right now. Everybody is stuck inside. Celebrities are flooding social media with videos pining for our collective attention. Its a very weird and rare time to be alive. And amidst all the anxiety ridden, panic inducing, toilet paper hoarding fury we are finding a new way of life …

A Fifth of Irish Movies for St. Paddy’s Day That Goes Down Smooth

I’d imagine this post might seem just a tad late as its clearly the 18th of March now and the celebration of St. Patrick has officially ended, though its only the wee hours of the morning and I’d venture many conventional observers have only recently ended celebratory efforts. However, my intention is not to be tardy for recommendations for this year. I’ve picked out 5 films for people to keep …

DVD/Digital Releases 3/10

This time around I’m going to break up the home video releases from the theatrical releases and touch on things headed to the big screen later in the week. So I figured I would take a quick moment to address some of what’s finding its way to the DVD aisle and your home streaming service this week. First lets tackle the DVD releases. The four major flicks hitting shelves this …

No Need to Keep This Spencer Confidential

If you chat me up about movies for even just a few minutes, you’ve got a a pretty solid chance of me rambling about something pertaining to Ryan Reynolds. He’s clearly one of my favorites that ever was. There’s really no substitution for him but in the same way that I’ll gladly accept a grape Fanta if you’re out of Orange, I’ll happily entertain a Mark Wahlberg flick any day …
