Episodes

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 ...

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 flavor...

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 a...

*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 whe...

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.
