Episodes

Tonight, Sean and I take a look at one of the biggest releases of the year:  Matt Reeves' reboot of The Batman.  We have slightly different opinions of the finished product.  This podcast is mostly spoiler-free,

Fair warning:  This episode goes heavy on the vino.  We indulged in a few too many glasses before we sat down for this Oscar preview, and things get a little goofy.  I'll be honest, this one was a challenge to edit.  Still,

We conclude our Valentine's Day/Date Movie series with City of Angels.  It's definitely the oddest and most cerebral of this month's offerings.  On the plus side, it does have a bitchin' soundtrack, with lots of killer 90s vibes. - For vino,

For tonight's episode, we continue our look at The Legend of Vox Machina, now on Amazon Prime.  The first season is dropping in groups of three, and we're discussing 7,8, and 9.  *SPOILERS ABOUND* so check it out, and come back here!

It's time for one last look at The Book of Boba Fett!  We discuss episode 7, and share our thoughts on the first season as a whole.  Naturally, *spoilers abound*!  Proceed with caution! - Next up, we look at the next three episodes of The Legend of Vo...

Our Valentine's/date movie spectacular continues with Superbad!  To be fair, as Sean says, this film is more "com" than "rom," but it's definitely a hilarious classic, and perfect to share with a partner for a romantic evening. -

This mini-episode continues our look at Vox Machina, the new animated series on Amazon.  Machina drops in 3 episode chunks, so tonights discussion will cover the 4th, 5th, and 6th episodes of the first season.  As always, SPOILERS ABOUND,

We continue our look at The Book of Boba Fett, now streaming on Disney+.  This penultimate episode once again focuses on The Mandalorian, and his relationship with Grogu.  Get ready for tons of Star Wars cameos!  SPOILERS ABOUND, proceed with caution!

This week's episode continues our February date movie spectacular.  We take a good look at Long Shot, a 2019 rom-com that stars Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron.  It's a flip of My Fair Lady/Pygmalion/She's All That, with Rogen as the frumpy swan.

With this episode, we kick off our Valentine's Month of date movies.  As Good as It Gets is an odd hybrid of rom-com, character study, and conventional drama that examines a few themes that were (for 1997) ahead of their time.

We continue our look at The Book of Boba Fett, now streaming Disney+.  Here, we cover episodes 4 & 5.  One is a filler, the other is a killer.  We'll let you figure out which is which.  SPOILERS ABOUND!  Proceed with caution. - For vino,

For this mini-episode of Cinemavino, we take a look at the first three episodes of The Legend of Vox Machina, now streaming on Amazon Prime.  This animated series is based on the Youtube hit Critical Role, and is the result of a record-shattering Kicks...

This week, we continue our look at Oscar contenders with Joel Coen's The Tragedy of Macbeth.  It's a refreshing, well-made take on Shakespeare's warhorse.  We enjoyed it, to varying degrees. - For vino,

For this week's Cinemavino, we begin our look at eventual Oscar nominees.  Aaron Sorkin's Being the Ricardos is an excellent look at a fateful week in the lives of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. - To pair with this great wine,

It's another mini-episode of Cinemavino! For this installment, Sean and I discuss episode three of The Book of Boba Fett, now airing Disney+.  As always, SPOILERS ABOUND for this installment.  If you haven't seen it,

Welcome to another mini-episode of Cinemavino!  For this installment, Trav and I look at the second episode of The Book of Boba Fett, now airing on Disney+.  *SPOILERS ABOUND* Get to streaming, and head back this way! - Next,

It's a special Cinemavio mini-pod!  For this installment, we take a quick look at episode one of The Book of Boba Fett, now airing on Disney+.  This hotly anticipated limited run features everybody's intergalactic badass,

For the new year, we will take a look at some of the most acclaimed movies of 2022.  This starts with Adam McKay's broad satire, Don't Look Up.  Sean and Travis really enjoyed, while I was more on the fence. - As for vino,

Hawkeye, Marvel's latest series on Disney+, was a surprisingly strong take on the Avengers' weakest link.  Too often, heavy-hitters like Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America take center-stage, while Clint Barton ends up as a supporting player.

Happy New Year from all of us at Cinemavino!  Here's to the hope that 2022 will improve on 2021's dire situation.  On the movie front, only a few movies take place on or around NYE, but we've found a bona fide 90s classic:  Sleepless in Seattle.

It's totally appropriate that the biggest Spider-flick leads to the biggest episode of Cinemavino ever!  For over one hour, we discuss Spider-Man: No Way Home, the latest and greatest MCU movie made.  We have strong opinions,

The debate about whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie should be deader than disco.  It is, and it always has been.  If anything, this Bruce Willis classic is a delightful piece of counter-programming to the sticky fluff we have to deal with thi...

We're gonna kick off this season with a series of very different Christmas flicks.  That begins with The Holiday, a prototypical offering of Hollywood schmaltz.  It was written and directed by Nancy Meyers (What Women Want, Something's Gotta Give),

With that in mind, this week Trav and I go over our guilty pleasure movies. To pair with it, I came up with a decadent concoction called Chocolate Sangria. To make it, start with two parts Chocovine–a cordial-type blend of red wine and milk chocolate–and dump in a shot of Pinnacle Whipped Vodka. Top it off with one part milk and a little Hershey’s syrup. You can warm up the milk and make it Hot Chocolate Sangria, or cool it down with some ice for a milkshake texture. Need a garnish? Try a few ma...
