Sober Cinema

Two months of living with a Sydney Sweeney/Glen Powell pairing and we can't go back to anything else. Well... maybe, Zoey Deutch. After some hesitation based on years of mistrust one co-host finally took his wife to a proper date night movie with plenty of butt stuff (comedic) and shirtless men (steamy) while one host remains at home for yet another rewatch and even more roaming hands.

On April 5, 2013 Rosario Dawson got out the clippers. And cinema was never the same. As was James McAvoy. As was OUR EYES. After this visual delight director Danny Boyle has us believing in all manner of nonsense such as the convoluted mechanisms need to pull off the complicated art heist that ultimately revolves around the toxic relationships of Mr. McAvoy. This is a far cry from THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ELEANOR RIGBY, sir. Support what we do on Patreon with bonus episodes and even more afterparties (you have been warned.)

On March 28, 2003 John Travolta put on a clever ruse. John McTiernan is the director of PREDATOR, DIE HARD and most importantly BASIC. If you have forgotten this military thriller starring Samuel L. Jackson (150 lbs soaking wet and with a cape!), Connie Nelson (of THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE... you remember the scene) and Giovanni Ribisi playing Orson Welles then we are here to help!

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!

Harmony Korine made the A24 version of MIAMI VICE... ...and still the world was not satisfied. Including your hosts! Mainly the one from Florida who does not recognize the rap success from his home area as portrayed by James Franco. Meanwhile another host lives in fear of the alternate version of this film that stars Emma Watson. This film does not exist and so he remains forever grateful to Ashley Benson and is checking out her latest work as a cam girl in ALONE AT NIGHT. As an act of appreciation and for podcast research of course. Our final host just feels like he was born in the wrong place and time. A wistful episode for SPRING BREAKERS as we begin our new season celebrating 1983-2013 and how old and perverted we increasingly are. Enjoy!

The movie that inspired a Sean Young role in ACE VENTURA. Which isn't entirely a bad thing. It's more Sean Young! For a very late 1992 anniversary episode, a somewhat late Valentine's Day episode but BUT an EARLY St. Patrick's Day episode we present Neil Jordan's.... THE CRYING GAME. We tried to be careful here but spoilers almost instantly for this Oscar contender starring Forest Whitaker in a very dreamlike sweater. Enjoy!

Thirty years of going to church with Harvey Keitel. Among other activities for the title character in Abel Ferrara's family film. As for our activities discussing BAD LIEUTENANT on a podcast that includes: More hate for the Miami Heat when it comes to decision making in the final seconds of a Game 7. More debate over the assets of early 90s It Girl Winona Ryder. And how this film provided the template for the... calmer UNCUT GEMS. Have a good cry with us on our latest episode!

Thirty years of Anthony Hopkins slut-shaming Winona Ryder. And a redhead of course. We can't forget God's greatest gift to mankind. Other than Sir Anthony it's also the Dread Pirate Roberts and Neo/Constantine/Johnny Mnemonic getting in on the sex negative attitude. Also my co-host informs me The Rocketeer is a prude. I'm glad I did not get that reference. If you are wondering why the IMDb filmography list it's because BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA is one of those sure-fire classics on our rewatch of 1992 in film that we were afraid there'd be no new ground to cover.

Thirty years of Uma Thurman being a witness to driving men crazy. One podcast host in particular. And although you've probably heard all you need to about one Kentucky man's love for Ms. Thurman this is actually an episode of discovery as shockingly all hosts have a good time with JENNIFER 8. Is it John Malkovich's sass with a cold? Lance Henrickson's trusting nature of dark figures with a flashlight? Or just an excuse to analyze the perverted nature of flash photography? Three decades later this thriller gets the justice it deserves on SOBER CINEMA. Support what we do on Patreon with bonus episodes and even more afterparties (you have been warned.)

Thirty years of Nice Guy Eddie not being so nice. Which is why he quickly becomes a fan favorite in this episode on Quentin Tarantino's directing debut RESERVOIR DOGS. In one of those almost unimpeachable classics we decide to take on the likes of Harvey Keitel and Tim Roth for they are no Chris Penn. Also the decision to not cast Samuel L. Jackson as Mr. Roth's Jedi master here brings up a returning segment of can one belligerent podcast host take on Mace Windu? For that... we go to the stats. Enjoy!

Thirty years of Brad Pitt making everyone look ugly. For some reason we decided to cheat a bit this week and fulfill a promise to Mr. Robert Redford and complete his own 1992 double feature after SNEAKERS with him behind the camera for A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT. He also talks all throughout this film as the narrator which offends our sensibilities as podcasters soooooo we take a dump on this movie. Which is easy because it's no SNEAKERS. Neither is it INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE which we talk about for a few minutes. As well as the "NO!" gunfight in a river in the all timer TOMBSTONE. And then another host brings up POOTIE TANG. It all makes a bit more sense if you listen. That's a big if though after these show notes. Enjoy! Support what we do on Patreon with bonus episodes and even more afterparties (you have been warned.)

Thirty years of a Frenchman playing an Italian discovering America. But not really. Perhaps even less impressive than the discovery of this great country is the decision to cover not one but TWO Christopher Columbus movies from the year of 1992. Mistakes were made. Such as: One host continuously mistaking one Scott brother for another. This is a Ridley Scott joint, not Tony's. Sad. Returning guest Tangible Teddy continues to hate Italian accents. He also hates former guest Dave Giannini. Okay, so maybe that last one isn't a mistake. Enjoy! Support what we do on Patreon with bonus episodes and even more afterparties (you have been warned.)

Thirty years of everyone hating Kevin Spacey. The only closing you get on SOBER CINEMA is an explanation on how Jack Lemmon is a "soy boy" and a debate on if Ed Harris would be the best or worst co-worker in the office. Also if we have time we talk about Al Pacino having better bowel movements than perhaps anyone in the history of this planet. Naturally.

The heat in 1992 was of course on The Great Madeline Stowe. One host says that this movie is better than HEAT. The other two hosts, as much as they love Madeline Stowe, have to stay sharp. On the edge. Where they gotta be. They also may have confused this with Tom Cruise in THE LAST SAMURAI. Only you the listener can decide.

Thirty years of boating and cuckolding. The only reason we chose to revisit the year of 1992 in film is this movie and for a few reasons: Mary Kay Place in a riveting family comedy shower scene. Kurt Russell's hair and always sleeping with one eye open. And to discuss our favorite hot dogs. Naturally.

Insult Bridget Fonda all you want but don't you dare misspell the drummer's name from the fictional band CITIZEN DICK. Those are the rules here on SOBER CINEMA. Apparently one host's early 90s dream girl provides no charm in this Cameron Crowe look at grunge rock. This is among the many obscenities from this sweet little movie: Bill Pullman with his professional misconduct of NOT recommending larger breasts. Campbell Scott predicting a better basketball career for Xavier McDaniel over Sir Charles Barkley. And lastly... Kyra Sedgwick's mouth. That's it. The greatest sin. However this episode is declared the winner of our trilogy of favorites from 1992 which will continue with CAPTAIN RON and THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS!

Thirty years of Robert Redford vilifying the bald. Our official career retrospective episode on the work of Sidney Poitier is finally here as he is naturally compared to... Brad Pitt. Who is not in SNEAKERS. But Mary McDonnell is as the honeypot, River Phoenix as a simp before that was common vernacular (RIP by the way) and David Strathairn as a man that one host really has a problem with doing... well, anything.

Thirty years of Nicolas Cage having outbursts. Although HONEYMOON IN VEGAS is slightly more pleasant than his Oscar-winning turn in LEAVING LAS VEGAS. Your dedicated author of these show notes will not bring Elisabeth Shue into this fight as INDECENT PROPOSAL casts a large shadow over this far sillier version of a fiancee being sold as an escort to an older gentlemen by our leading men. It's safe to say that we also prefer Robert Redford to James Caan. And somehow Christina Hendricks gets brought into the conversation because why not?

Thirty years of Benicio del Toro being the best part of every movie. Not that he's playing a nice guy here. But can one expect perfect gentlemen in a film on the exploits of Christopher Columbus. Well in 1992 this was the DEEP IMPACT to Ridley Scott's ARMAGEDDON as America got two dull movies on this jerk. So we open things up with suspecting our guest of abandoning podcasting for Only Fans and end the show when the beer runs out. Just as Columbus deserves. Enjoy a true Italian guest in Dave Giannini returning to promote his podcast OFF SCREEN DEATH and most definitely not an early celebration of Columbus Day.

Thirty years of actors from the sitcom WINGS wrecking havoc. Or maybe it's starring in the unfortunate ABC mini-series of THE SHINING? Whatever the origin of evil we find ourselves suffering along with poor Bridget Fonda as that once sweet heartbreaker from FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH forms the worst co-parenting relationship over a dog. And then Jennifer Jason Leigh has the audacity to copy POINT OF NO RETURN's unfortunate haircut that no one of sound mind would mimic. All of this AND THEN Stephen Tobolowsky plays the hero creep. Throw in returning guest Dave Giannini of OFF SCREEN DEATH and you'll be wishing for Steven Weber to show up again and bring us all sweet relief. Or something. Enjoy!
