Regular or Menthol: Kino Movies Podcast

regularormenthol

Regular or Menthol is a weekly movie podcast where hosts Chris and Mike dig into the subtleties of "kino" — the films, scenes, and performances they think are worth obsessing over. Each episode picks apart a single movie, ranging from heavy hitters like Apocalypse Now and American Psycho to cult oddities like Gleaming the Cube and Face/Off. The vibe is loose, funny, and irreverent — full of tangents about absurd plot mechanics and the kind of rewatch-energy commentary that feels like hanging out
