Cinema This: A Movie Goers Podcast

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne. In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

What began as an episode on individual recent watches eventually turns into a discussion on the Lord of the Rings films. We should probably do a full episode on those soon..

Here it is. FIVE HOURS of us taking a look ahead to every movie we're excited for this year. (Hint, it's a LOT). Settle in, this is the mother load. 

It's 2023 and now comes the shotgun blast of movie madness. Before that all begins however - Irwin, Jeff & Joshy take a look back at their collective movie experiences of the last year and reflect on the highs and lows.

The way of water has no beginning and no end. The sea is around you and in you. The sea is your home, before your birth and after your death. Our hearts beat in the womb of the world. Our breath burns in the shadows of the deep. The sea gives and the sea takes. Water connects all things, life to death, darkness to light.

Irwin is out for the week but Jeff and Joshy are in just in time for Christmas to chat about recent movie watches with the family. From Tim Allen's Santa Clauses to Harry Potter and more (as well as a particular story about a Jim Carrey autograph), the laughs in this one nearly break the sound barrier. 

In 2009 James Cameron showed us we're not in Kansas anymore by dropping us into the lush, bioluminescent world of Pandora. Thirteen years later on the cusp of The Way of Water releasing in cinemas everywhere, we reconnect with Eywa and see if the experience is as revolutionary as we remember it.

In 2000, New Line Cinema released Dungeons & Dragons, the earliest feature length adaption of the popular tabletop roleplaying game of the same name. Troubled production yet a film made with a lot of love. A box office bomb but dare we say cult classic? Do we love it? Do we hate it? Did we play D&D prior to our first viewing? And what effect does tabletop D&D in general have on us? Join Irwin, Jeff and Joshy for a love lettered discussion on not only Dungeons & Dragons 2000, but to D&D as a whole. Roll initiative!

After being delayed for over a year, Ghostbusters Afterlife is finally in cinemas. Is it fun? Is it too nostalgic? Do the originals return? Walk with ya boys and find out.

Is it a Halloween or Christmas film or something altogether in between? Join Irwin, Jeff & Josh as they gather around pumpkins and snowmen for a discussion on 1993's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Walk with ya bois.
