Episodes

For this week’s episode, Travis and I talk about Overlord , the new WWII/Zombie epic. Because this film is set entirely in France, we’ll be drinking a selection of French wines. All three of these dudes will pair well with typical holiday meals, so even if gory action movies ain’t your thang, give these bottles a look: Chateau Trinquevedel Tavel Rose (pictured above) I’m honestly Inspector Clouseau trying to pronounce this one, but it’s a great Rose. Well-rounded, rich with light melon flav...

This week, Travis and I drink a little red wine and talk about “First Man,” and the Star Wars franchise. Our wine this week is a blend from Bonny Doon Vineyards called Cigare Volante. It’s an American wine inspired by the reds of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in France. Wines from this area in the Rhone region are consistently ranked amongst the highest in the world. The Cigare Volante is their American cousin, and it’s a worthy addition to the family. Travis likes to invoke the phrase, “versatile as bea...

*This is a re-upload of our Venom podcast. On October 11, 2018, Cinemavino debuted on an unsuspecting world. Much like WWE, it was beautiful, gripping…it was RAW. And it was just me and Trav. Taylor was somewhere deep in the Himalayas. Sean was touring with the Stones. We were pretty nervous for this first Todd-pod, and it does show a bit. Our best work lies ahead. In the meantime, this outing finds us gabbin’ about Venom . It had just came out, and it sucked pretty bad. Now, check out...

For this week's Cinemavino, Sean and I continue our look at Peter Jackson's mammoth documentary, The Beatles: Get Back.  Jackson did an outstanding job of ironing 160 hours of raw footage into three coherent acts.  Not surprisingly,

The Beatles are my all-time favorite band, and I've spent my life as a walking encyclopedia of their music and history.  Like millions of fans, their music has changed my life.  Long story short:  This isn't just another podcast for me. -

Welcome to a very special episode of Cinemavino!  We're all huge Ghostbusters fans, so we were eager to take a look at the latest sequel, Afterlife.  Everybody enjoyed it, to varying degrees.  In my personal opinion,

Thanksgiving is already here, and we've found the perfect movie for the occasion. Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz is often held as the greatest rock documentary every made, and it's easy to see why:  The Band's farewell concert bottles everything cool...

For this week's Cinemavino, it's one of the more decorated movies we've covered in a good long while:  Another Round won the Academy Award for Best International Feature, and Thomas Vinterburg was nominated for Best Director.

Our discussion of Marvel's Eternals was planned to be a mini-episode, but it turns out that each of us had a lot to say.  So, we present you a full episode discussing the MCU's latest offering.  Spoilers abound, so do proceed with caution.

Thirteen Ghosts marks the final entry in our Halloween season.  Everyone seemed to enjoy this one a little more than me.  It does have the cheesy, guilty pleasure factor in its favor, but I also found Ghosts to be jarring, uneven, and poorly executed.

This week's "mini" episode of Cinemavino is more like a full-length one.  After all, Dune is a complex film that tackles half of a beloved sci-fi novel.  Frank Herbert's magnum opus has been labeled as "unfilmable," and after two previous debacles,

Happiest of Halloweens from all of us at Cinemavino!  This is a big holiday in the movie world, as it inspires an entire genre in of itself.  Some of these films are great.  Others are so terrible, they end up being wonderful.

Part III of our Halloween series continues with an all-time favorite, the cult classic Fright Night.  A Valentine for horror movie fans, this film has a little something for everyone:  A goofy, disarming sense of humor?  Check.

*Spoilers ahead!*  If you haven't seen No Time to Die, the latest 007 flick, head to a theater and check it out.  Then get back in here and listen to our thoughts and beliefs in this mini-pod.  We're all pretty big Bond fans,

Hey everyone!  This week's Cinemavino continues our Halloween series, and we're looking back at a genuine classic.  Aliens actually hits on several of our recent themes:  It's a great sequel, a great horror flick, and a personal favorite of mine. -

This week's episode is a real labor of love.  Tremors is personal favorite of ours, a cult classic, and a full-on nostalgia trip.  We all loved rewatching and talking about it.  If you're looking for pure junk food entertainment for Halloween,

For this week's Cinemavino, it's the last episode of our Host's Choice series.  The four of us have each picked a favorite movie to screen, and this time it's Travis' turn.  (A great drinking game could be played for every time we call him "Trav,

This week's Cinemavino takes us back to one of the all-time guilty pleasure movies.  That's right, gang--it's Con Air!  With this magnificently strange action flick, you get the souped-up action and political incorrectness of the 80s,

That title pretty much says it all.  Few big-budget productions from Hollywood have been as brazenly eccentric as Buckaroo Banzai.  This cult classic from 1984 feels like a hybrid of Flash Gordon, Mad Max, and...damn, I don't even know what.

New season, new series!  With the approach of fall, we have to conclude our look at summer sequels, although those were quite a bit of fun.  It was great to revisit some of those old favorites, including Batman Returns and TMNT II. -

For our final episode on summer sequels, we're leanin' real hard into the nostalgia vibe.  Teenage Mutant Turtles II is a film that brings forth fond memories for all of us, and it's something I'm honestly happy to go back and check out after all these...

Shang-Chi opened to huge box office this past weekend, second only to Black Widow for 2021 debuts.  In a gamble, Disney bypassed their streaming service and released the film exclusively to theaters.  Based on the returns,

Hello all, and welcome to another mini-episode of Cinemavino.  For this very special recording, we're going to take a spoiler-free look at Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.  We all enjoyed it, to varying degrees.  As always,

Welcome back to another fine episode of Cinemavino!  This week, it's our penultimate look at summer sequels.  Sadly, this season is winding down, and so is our talk about part twos.  The Bourne Legacy is an interesting blockbuster:  It's the fourth ins...
