Episodes

For this week’s Cinemavino, we go back to a Halloween cult classic:  Monster Squad.  It has all the monsters, all the cheesy one-liners, and more than a few slurs that serve as a reminder of its time.  This is a very special episode,

When you do a podcast about drinking wine and watching movies, things are bound to fly off the rails from time to time.  The boys and I went a champagne tasting right before this episode was recorded, and we got a little looped as a result.

Everyone’s talking about El Camino, the long-awaited epilogue to the landmark series Breaking Bad.  It’s provoking a variety of opinions:  Many loved it, while others were frustrated.  Our thoughts cover that spectrum.  For this episode,

We all watched Joker, and we all have strong opinions from it.  For this surprise episode, we talk about Joaquin Phoenix’s incarnation of the Joker.  Plus, we drink some tasty red wine.

For good behavior, my fifth grade class was awarded with a monthly movie.  Somewhere in there, Watership Down made the cut.  It’s a weird, whacked-out animated film that crawled into my nightmares for several weeks after.  As a…ahem..children’s movie,

This week, we screen an over-the-top 90s classic, The Rock.  We got cornball one-liners, frantic Michael Bay direction, and a wacky chase through the streets of San Francisco.  While we’re talking about the City by the Bay,

For this week’s Cinemavino, we settle back into our routine:  Draw a movie, drink, and screen it.  This episode, the 80s classic Three Amigos is the lucky film.  I watched it a thousand times as a kid, but it’s been years.

For this episode, the boys and I discuss a few podcast highlights and drink a little Malbec.  This includes some new footage from the pilot episode that Travis and I recorded, which has never been aired.  Kick back and enjoy a trip down memory lane!

Starting with this episode, we will draw movie title out of a hat, drink lots of good wine, and discuss that movie at length.  For this go-around, we drink a fantastic Merlot from the Acre winery and screen a 90s chestnut, The 13th Warrior.

This week’s Cinemavino is a hodgepodge of discussion, but it also marks a tweak in format for us.  For this episode, we talk about the new footage from the upcoming Star Wars installment, The Rise of Skywalker.  We also pound some delicious rosé.

Someone once observed that a cliché only becomes a cliché by virtue of being true.  Monologging villains have been around since before movies had sound.  The same goes for damsels-in-distress.  There are so many cinematic tropes,

Do movies, video games, and television shows play a role in the rise of violence in our society?  We discuss, and have a little red wine in this week’s Cinemavino. - Want to know a little more about this week’s wine? -

For this episode of Cinemavino, the gang talks about their first experience with raunchy movies.  Some of the answers may surprise you!  Also, because this episode was taped on 7/14, it seemed logical to enjoy a few 7&7’s.

In this mini-episode, we break down Spider-Man: Far From Home, and where we think Spidey and the MCU are headed from here.  Spoilers abound, so proceed with caution. - To read my full review of Spider-Man: Far From Home, click here!

Just as killer movies can actually be better than the hype (See: Dark Knight, The), many films turn into a big ol' stinky letdown.  The only thing worse than finding out there ain't no Santa Claus is discovering that there is one,

Earlier in our podcast life, Travis and I discussed our favorite guilty pleasures.  As a refresher, these are the movies that haven't collected awards and adoration, but we secretly enjoy 'em anyway.  Everybody's got 'em.   Now that our sweet,

It’s a pastime that dates back to our childhood action figures:  Matchups.  Take two of your favorite characters, real or not, and imagine them locked in combat.  Who wins?  That’s the premise of this week’s Cinemavino. -

This week, we talk about our favor one-liners, whether they’re cornball, obscure, or all the above.  We also drink some delicious Charbono from the Robert Foley Winery.

Bad movies leave us feeling like the victims of a cinematic shell game. - On this week’s Cinemavino, we take a look at the worst movies we’ve ever paid to endure.  We also drink some delicious Red Zinfandel from Bedrock Winery.

For this episode, we discuss Godzilla: King of the Monsters, monster movies in general, and our general fascination with disaster movies.  We also enjoy some full-bodied (monstrous, if you will) red wines to go along with our spirited conversation.

When true inspiration hits, it can feel like harnessing the power of the sun.  Such was the case roughly six weeks ago, when your favorite trio of podcasters spontaneously created the character of Mitch Scōggins.  (It rhymes with SNOW-gins.

For this episode, we discuss what to binge in a post-Thrones world.  Also, we pick out a few wines to enjoy during your couch-bound marathon.  First, we’ve got the rosé from Gobelsburg, an Austrian wine with the classic grapes of Pinot Noir, Zwiegelt,
