Episode 83: Species II

Cinema Oblivia ·

2024/05/02

It's the goopiest episode of Cinema Oblivia yet! Is Species II an unfairly maligned sequel? Madeleine Koestner thinks so, and she makes her case that this movie has a bad rep that is, well, at least partially unjustified. I mean, let's not get crazy here.

Episode 82: Batman & Robin

Cinema Oblivia ·

2024/04/14

Last week I watched Batman & Robin for the first time and I unironically loved it so much. Seriously, I think it's an amazing movie and maybe the best Batman movie ever made.I needed to talk to someone about it! Thankfully, superhero movie aficionado and Batman superfan Anthony Abatte was able to join me to offer a more sane opinion on the film. We also talk about other films where our opinions deviate from the norm, sometimes we all have really out-there opinions!

Cinema Oblivia ·

Diamond Feit and I cannot stop talking about 1970s plane disaster TV movies! We're back with two more, the ludicrous Murder on Flight 502 and the absolutely bonkers SST: Death Flight!We, as a culture, lost something when we stopped making star-studded TV movies, I tell ya.

Episode 79: The Last Stand

Cinema Oblivia ·

2024/02/16

I'm back! And I brought Anthony Abatte with me so we could talk about The Last Stand, a movie starring one of the biggest movie stars of all time (Arnold Schwarzenegger) that only came out 11 years ago, but has somehow managed to be completely forgotten. Which is a shame because while it ain't high art by any stretch of the imagination, it's damn good.

2024/01/14

Hey everyone! I'm still here!Covid sucks, don't get it. It (and other things) are keeping me from recording a proper episode this month, so I thought I'd record this mini non-episode to let you all know what's going on, and rattle off the 30+ movies I've watched in 14 or so days. I had a lot of down time.

Episode 77: The Italian Connection

Cinema Oblivia ·

2023/12/12

Italian cinema fanatic Joe Odber is back to talk about The Italian Connection, a classic Italian crime flick about a pimp who is having a very bad day. It was also a major influence on Pulp Fiction, features a dope as hell score, and 70s lapels galore. It's fantastic.

Episode 76: Devil Story

Cinema Oblivia ·

2023/11/09

Okay so there's a pig zombie monster wearing a Nazi jacket. And some kind of zombie lady? There's definitely a ghost horse and a shotgun with infinite ammo. But where does the mummy fit into all of this? Madeleine Koestner returns to try and help me digest one of the most inscrutably bad(?) movies ever made, Devil Story. We also delve into what we think makes an honest-to-goodness worst movie ever made, and why many people's picks for the worst movie of all-time are bullshit.

Episode 75: Body Double

Cinema Oblivia ·

2023/10/20

In what might the be sleaziest episode of Cinema Oblivia yet, Diamond Feit returns to talk about De Palma's Hitchcockian thriller Body Double, one of the most ludicrously horny films ever made. It puts the 'cock' in 'Hitchcockian.' It's also the greatest film ever made that incorporates a Frankie Goes to Hollywood video in its narrative. And before you ask, yes there is another. No, I won't tell you what it is. Content warning: Lots of ribald sex talk in this one.

Episode 74: Comfort Movies

Cinema Oblivia ·

2023/09/28

Since the last episode of Cinema Oblivia, my boyfriend got Covid, I flew to America, landed myself in the ER and [redacted personal drama]. Basically, it's been a hell of a month, so I felt like talking about movies that cheer me up. Anthony Abatte joins me to discuss his comfort films, what we feel makes a good comfort film, and our go-to emergency "cheer someone up" flicks.

Cinema Oblivia ·

2023/08/16

Drew Mackie from The Gayest Episode Ever returns to Cinema Oblivia to talk about the 1986 fantasy classic Troll, aka the one true Harry Potter film (seriously). We talk about the movie's fantastic cast, great special effects, and what we want from a REAL Troll sequel.

Episode 72: Monster Club

Cinema Oblivia ·

2023/07/27

I found Scott Sharkey wondering in the desert, put a microphone in front of him, and had him talk about the lesser-known Vincent Price/John Carradine horror anthology The Monster Club. This swan song of British horror anthologies is goofy as hell. Find out what a humgoo is and why Shaddocks should NEVER WHISTLE. And hear some great (and horrible) monster-themed rock and/or roll!

Episode 71: What A Carve Up!

Cinema Oblivia ·

2023/06/29

Rob Hill from the Bad Movie Bible returns to the podcast to discuss one of his favorite films of all-time, the obscure 1961 British murder mystery, What A Carve Up! (The exclamation point is in the title) You definitely haven't heard of that movie but I hope you give the episode a listen regardless.

Episode 70: Bay Of Blood

Cinema Oblivia ·

2023/06/15

Dr. Sparkle makes his return to the podcast to talk about Mario Bava's Bay Of Blood, a strange proto-slasher with gore-o-plenty and a plot-o-nonsense, but it's a hell of a lot of fun, if you got the stomach for it.

Episode 69: Them!

Cinema Oblivia ·

2023/06/01

When pronouns attack! Them! is a giant monster movie classic. The definitive killer bug flick that holds up better than any of the multitudes that came in its wake. Anthony Abatte and I talk about the flick, how it launched the careers of two boomer TV icons, and briefly go over other giant bug movies that might be worth a watch (there aren't many). This one's for you, dad.

Episode 68: Death Cheaters and Stunt Rock

Cinema Oblivia ·

2023/05/18

Certified Australian Rhys (aka FlemishDog) is back to discuss two of the most Australian films ever made, Death Cheaters and Stunt Rock, both written and directed by the most Australian filmmaker, Brian Trenchard-Smith, and starring the most Australian stuntman/actor ever, Grant Page. Don't worry about spoilers in this episode because these films barely have plots, but who needs plots when you have WICKED STUNTS AND HEAVY METAL.

Episode 67: Blood Beat

Cinema Oblivia ·

2023/05/04

*MYSTICAL BOINGING* Blood Beat is, without question, one of the most inscrutable and hard-to-describe "horror" films that I have ever seen. There's a family of psychics? And a ghost samurai? And I think orgasms power it? Or something? Thankfully I have Madeleine Koestner here to help me figure it out. I don't know if we succeed though. *MYSTICAL BOINGING CONTINUES*

Drew Mackie from The Gayest Episode Ever podcast is here to discuss Switchblade Sisters, a grindhouse classic by legendary B-movie director Jack Hill (Jackie Brown, Coffy). We talk about the gender and political subtext of this underrated girl gang classic, and all the amazing 70s hair.

Episode 64: Q -The Winged Serpent

Cinema Oblivia ·

2023/03/09

Diamond Feit returns to talk about Q: The Winged Serpent. One of my all-time favorite movies and, without question, the greatest movie ever made about a giant dragon that lives on top of the Chrysler Building and eats people. Larry Cohen was a mad genius.
