One Year Later: JOKER

Sober Cinema ·

2020/11/13

One year later the joke is on us because Todd Phillips' JOKER has not improved. So instead we talk about kinky sex in a refrigerator (take that, Indiana Jones!) and how the only people that like clowns are those who still prefer death and apparently the Academy Awards.Listen to our latest episode with a booming soundtrack of JOCK JAMS and then dance like an idiot.

Thirty Years Later: MILLER'S CROSSING

Sober Cinema ·

2020/10/31

There's just nothing like the sass of John Turturro. But heaven knows that we try. We remain the only podcast with the GUTS to challenge Kevin Spacey to fisticuffs, think that Jon Polito would make for the best boss, and question the misanthrope nature of Gabriel Byrne. Also a little bit on Andy Richter's family history as a Swedish-German.This is The Definitive episode on thirty years of the Coen Brothers MILLER'S CROSSING. But you already knew that.

Twenty-Five Years Later: SEVEN

Sober Cinema ·

2020/10/02

On September 22, 1995 the world was unaware that there was soon to be a new contender for the greatest buddy cop comedy of all time... and perhaps that's because this a very misleading description of David Fincher's SEVEN. However before all of the apocalyptic imagery and speechifying from another movie-of-the-week serial killer we do get a lovely image of Brad Pitt asleep on Morgan Freeman's shoulder. You should look that up. It's nice. And it's conveniently featured on our podcast page. You

Fifty Years Later: FIVE EASY PIECES

Sober Cinema ·

2020/10/01

An iconic performance from Jack Nicholson in FIVE EASY PIECES opened fifty years ago on September 12, 1970 and when you are talking about a genuine classic piece of cinema like this you must mention:Nicholson's hair may be flanked but it's not dead yet and neither are we!Sex positive love interests must never be dismissed even if they lack in bowling skills.Scissoring exists. One must only believe.Support what we do with bonus content and early episodes on PatreonListen: Apple

Five Years Later: A WALK IN THE WOODS

Sober Cinema ·

2020/09/30

Many people (okay, probably just Grandpa Jairo) have tried to interfere with one host's love for Nick Nolte in A WALK IN THE WOODS since it stormed cinemas five years ago on September 2, 2015. They have failed.And this podcast definitely won't put a stop to it as we revel in this American hero's love of booze, big women and pancakes. Read that again Grandpa Jairo. That doubt you feel is just the usual type of revelation one can find with the poignant film analysis of SOBER CINEMA. Support what we do

One Year Later: READY OR NOT

Sober Cinema ·

2020/09/29

On August 21, 2019 some idiot listened to his family of dorks and decided to play games with his new bride... and didn't even have a proper gaming chair to Twitch. As a country we have to come to terms that we will never understand the rich and probably should stop trying. We start with READY OR NOT where this great woman just wanted to have sex on her wedding night and instead got this movie.

Twenty Years Later: THE CELL

Sober Cinema ·

2020/09/20

On this episode you will be thankful to make a twenty year anniversary trip back into THE CELL with Jennifer Lopez and Vince Vaughn as opposed to entering the minds of your hosts which include a lot more T & A but definitely not the hair stylings of one Vincent D'Onofrio.

Twenty-Five Years Later: VIRTUOSITY

Sober Cinema ·

2020/08/05

On August 4, 1995 the world thankfully ignored a film with Russell Crowe dancing in the buff and fingering Denzel Washington in a dystopian future that is almost as bad as the world we currently live in.

Twenty-Five Years Later: THE NET

Sober Cinema ·

2020/07/31

Twenty-five years ago on July 28, 1995 the world watched as America's sweetheart Sandy B. was terrorized by a man who hunts sharks with a silencer and creeps on the ladies with the even deadlier weapon of a Dell. Thankfully we can learn from the early days of the internet by perusing this time as archived by the fine folks over at r/sandrabullock. And we spend most of the episode doing JUST THAT. Also we talk about THE NET movie for a bit. Support what we do with bonus content and early episodes on

Ten Years Later: WINNEBAGO MAN

2020/07/28

There once was a time (specifically July 9, 2010) when the world... well, the world largely ignored the release of a feature length documentary on a public freakout video. However now may be the time for WINNEBAGO MAN as kids everywhere flock to The Youtube and The Twitch and ignore great art such as two old friends talking around selected films and the nearing the warm embrace of death.

Three Years Later: GIRLS TRIP

2020/07/15

With JAWS hitting a little too close to home about the dangers of opening up too soon we decided to go with a different movie for our Fourth of July watching. One that reflects a more positive aspect of our lives. A promotion for our future rebranding of this podcast (since @jackshack is taken) as THE REGINA HALL POWER HOUR. Your two favorite hosts movie anniversary podcast hosts from Kentucky with an audience of a vocal dozen (two) went on a GIRLS TRIP. Enjoy! Support what we do with bonus content

Forty-Five Years Later: THE DROWNING POOL

Sober Cinema ·

2020/07/13

We congratulate ourselves on managing to talk about such sacred cinema in Steven Spielberg's JAWS by immediately turning to a forgotten released five days later in the Paul Newman starring THE DROWNING POOL. This sequel to a 60s P.I. film confuses us... as does our tragic quest to get ahold of the Twitter handles @jackshack or even @jerkshack.Also we talk about nipples some more and obviously the current political climate.

Forty-Five Years Later: JAWS

Sober Cinema ·

2020/06/29

In the age of COVID-19 one host just has to accept that he can excuse the Mayor of Amity Island because the man has fantastic hair and is a snappy dresser. The other host would like to talk about nipples. Also this JAWS movie is a masterpiece and has been since its release on June 20, 1975. What new material do you want from us here? Enjoy your holiday and stay inside playing this new video game that is described as "Grand Theft Auto except you are a shark!" Be a hero and choose your summer vacation

Forty Years Later: THE BLUE LAGOON

Sober Cinema ·

2020/06/26

On the nineteenth and twentieth of June in the year of our Lord 1980 the coastal elites got their chance to see young adults (really young) discover sex for the first time in THE BLUE LAGOON. This uncomfortable bit of marketing a fourteen year old Brooke Shields in a state of undress would soon make its way to the flyover states... and be just as financially successful. So here we are forty years later and SOBER CINEMA has to be the moral arbiter of film. As it should be. Support what we do with

Sober Cinema ·

2020/06/02

Dusty old farts discuss a time when grappling solved disputes, heaving bosoms were a sign of physical fitness and men were just meaner. Like when your father challenges you to perform moves from NBA JAM in real life and you disappoint him repeatedly we are here to disappoint you by attempting to talk about classic cinema in THE ASPHALT JUNGLE and NIGHT AND THE CITY. Seventy years of reverence as some of the greatest film noir is slotted in after ten minutes talking about Twitch streams. You are

To bowl and gain the respect of the few or to be taunted by Adam Sandler in the more popular sport of prison football while suffering through his idea of comedy in a good old fashioned wet willy. This is the lot of SOBER CINEMA "celebrating" fifteen years of the bowling documentary A LEAGUE OF ORDINARY GENTLEMEN and the football "comedy" THE LONGEST YARD.
