Cinemoddities Late Night Movies With Rob & Zack

Episode 170 - Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) & Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life (2003)   As we go through the films of 2001, we finally hit the one based on a video game franchise!  This is the comprehensive discussion on the Tomb Raider movies - not only are we talking about the Angelina Jolie films, but also the related adult content and the 2018 reboot.  But what important details did we miss in an earlier episode in this series?  What is going on in front of Rob's apartment?  What type of puzzle is it?  Find out in this episode!   Subscribe to the Cinemoddities patreon at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities to get access to more content and support the podcast!  Check out the Cinemoddities subreddit at www.reddit.com/Cinemoddities for more info about the show, and as always, feel free to harass us through email at Cinemoddities@gmail.com    Find Ben's life counter app for Magic: The Gathering on the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zianderthalapps.life_counter)

Episode 169 - Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)   As much as Disney didn't want us to, we've found it, the lost city of Atlantis!  Good old 2-D animation lets us talk about the medium as a whole, its perception in North America compared to the rest of the world, and different ways to approach the artistic process. But was Atlantis real?  What does it have to do with Gary Busey?  Was it inhabited by chupacabras?  Why isn't Kathleen Turner in this movie?  Less yappin, more crackin!   Subscribe to the Cinemoddities patreon for even more content at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities and head on over to the Cinemoddities subreddit at www.reddit.com/Cinemoddities to get more info about the show.  As always, harass us at Cinemoddities@gmail.com    Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song.  Follow this link to hear more from them: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mPues3Rp2wCKYzXOTDNP9?si=84vwmD_dQNeP2TdNFhcmpw

Episode 168 - Pearl Harbor (2001)   Vroom vroom, it's time to discuss a movie that's way too long and melodramatic!  And who better to do so than Rob & Zack, the only two human beings in existence that do not have screen time in Michael Bay's "Pearl Harbor".  But when is Ben Affleck's birthday?  Why do actors choose to stutter in movies?  What's the importance of Romeo and Juliet laws?  Were there any civilian casualties on the mainland US during World War 2?  Will Rob & Zack ever recover from this movie or is this the end of Cinemoddities?  Listen in to find out!   Head on over to www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities and subscribe to Cinemoddities+ for access to even more content!  Email us at Cinemoddities@gmail.com or check out www.reddit.com/Cinemoddities for more info about the show.   Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song!  Check out this link to hear more of their music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mPues3Rp2wCKYzXOTDNP9?si=5__ZKPXcSZKOgbrDnNPlnw 

Episode 167 - Shrek (2001)   It had to happen as we go through the films of 2001, it's time to discuss "Shrek".  At least it gives Rob, Zack, and Ben a chance to talk about their feelings on this film and its massive cultural impact.  But does anyone truly like this movie?  Is it seen as a jab at Disney?  Why do people defend emotional manipulation in storytelling?  Why does Sylvain Chomet keep losing Oscars to Pixar?  Why is Shrek hot?  There's an ogre-abundance of topics in this episode!   Head on over to the Cinemoddities patreon to support the podcast and get access to bonus content - www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities   Send us your hate mail regarding our thoughts on Shrek through Cinemoddities@gmail.com or bash us on the Cinemoddities subreddit at www.reddit.com/Cinemoddities    Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song!  Check out this link to hear more of their music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mPues3Rp2wCKYzXOTDNP9?si=5__ZKPXcSZKOgbrDnNPlnw 

Episode 166 - The Mummy (1999) & The Mummy Returns (2001)   Anck-Su-Namun?  This episode has everything!  Mummies being shown to you, references to near-forgotten electronics stores, and lady fights!  But what makes this franchise work so well?  Is the main character Rick O'Connell or Rick Ocasek?  Are Rob & Zack fans of the clap?  No harm has ever come from listening to a podcast, so listen in!   Head on over to the Cinemoddities patreon to get access to bonus content and support the podcast!  www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    Harass us through email at Cinemoddities@gmail.com or head on over to the Cinemoddities subreddit for more info about the show!  www.reddit.com/Cinemoddities    Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song.  Check out more from them here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mPues3Rp2wCKYzXOTDNP9?si=gCtAjBq6Rzuo_ODWQEYjDA 

Episode 165 - Freddy Got Fingered (2001)   After a little over three years, Cinemoddities is finally covering the movie from another dimension, Tom Green's "Freddy Got Fingered".  Any listener will tell you that this certainly fits the definition of a cinemoddity, but how important is this film to Rob & Zack?  Would this podcast exist without it?  Will there ever be another movie like this?  Will we make our daddy proud?  Would our daddy like some sausage?  Can a banana get a job as a telephone repairman?  How many Deutsche Marks did this episode cost us?  What do we hear when you say Geneva?  Do you hear the funny sound?  It's one for the ages!   Subscribe to the Cinemoddities patreon at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities for access to bonus content and to support the podcast.     Email us at Cinemoddities@gmail.com or head on over to www.reddit.com/Cinemoddities for more info about the show!   Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song.  Follow this link to hear more from them:

Episode 164 - Josie and the Pussycats (2001)   A personal favorite of ours and a criminally underrated film, it's Josie and the Pussycats!  Finally, Rob and Zack get to talk about Riverdale, subliminal messaging, Tara Reid, an epic confrontation between Meatloaf & Gary Busey, and coasters!  But will they join the navy?  Did they win a car?  What's so special about a Mojave phone booth?  Find out in this episode!   If you feel a strong desire to subscribe to our patreon for bonus content, don't worry, just head on over and get started at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities!  And if you feel inclined to tell us how cool we are or that you want to be us, reach out at www.reddit.com/Cinemoddities or through email at Cinemoddities@gmail.com    Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for our theme song!  Check out more music from them here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mPues3Rp2wCKYzXOTDNP9?si=sFSg1kprSEutvib_rAeB3A

Episode 162 - Spy Kids (2001)   It's time for nostalgia from our childhood with our first kids' movie of the 2001 Fortyear!  But is there something more to this movie than just remembering it fondly?  What role does Alan Cumming play in Macbeth?  Was Carla Gugino a hero?  How strange are Robert Rodriguez and his career?  Are you a foogly?  Listen in for all this and more!   Subscribe to the Cinemoddities patreon for access to bonus content and to support the podcast at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    Harass us through email at Cinemoddities@gmail.com or join in on the fun found at the Cinemoddities subreddit - www.reddit.com/r/Cinemoddities    Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song!  Follow this link to hear more music from them: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mPues3Rp2wCKYzXOTDNP9?si=NH71Yyz1TZyZxvGDgaIIUg 

Episode 161 - Memento (2001)   Have we discussed this episode before?  We can't remember.  What we can remember, though, is Sammy Jankis.  Join Rob & Ben as they talk about Christopher Nolan's first real movie, The Duke, The Mandarin, how much trust people put in stories, and too much tuna.  How does this compare to Nolan's later movies?  Is this movie the Calculus of modern cinema?  Do we remember Sammy Jankis?  Tune in to find out!   Find Ben's life counter app for Magic: The Gathering on the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zianderthalapps.life_counter) and on the apple store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zianderthal-tcg-life-counter/id1555106877)   Be sure to subscribe to the Cinemoddities patreon at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities to get access to bonus content and support the podcast!  Plus, harass us on reddit at www.reddit.com/r/Cinemoddities or through email using Cinemoddities@gmail.com    Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song.  Che

Another year, another celebration of a Cinemoddities anniversary!  It's been three whole years, and what better way to reflect on our time together than with a doozy of a bonus episode.  There're corrections, fan emails, shout outs, another filmography ranking from Rob, objectification of celebrities, and statistics!  Rob gives Zack and Ben their performance reviews, and the "Tales from the Cinemoddities Restaurant" anthology film is finally fleshed out!  Thank you to all of our fans for listening to (and hopefully enjoying) Cinemoddities!   Head on over to the patreon to earn access to bonus content and support the podcast!  www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities - and be sure to harass us on the Cinemoddities subreddit (www.reddit.com/r/Cinemoddities) or through email through Cinemoddities@gmail.com    Check out Ben's Life Counter app for Magic: The Gathering on the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zianderthalapps.life_counter) and the apple store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ziand

Episode 160 - Monkeybone (2001)   It's finally here, one of Rob's favorite movies and the start of the Henry Selick series (which will conclude after the rest of Zack's 2001 fortyear)!  Monkeybone is criminally misunderstood, and no one, including Ben & Zack, is ready for the takes Rob has about this movie.  Tune in to hear an explanation of Henry Selick's career, The Church of the Subgenius, and the deep meaning underlying a film that was derided at the time of its release.  Whether you are a Pink or the descendant of a Yeti, it's a discussion for the ages that is sure to help you on your way to achieving Slack!   Subscribe to the Cinemoddities patreon for access to bonus content and to support our endeavor to become ordained ministers in The Church of the Subgenius at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    Harass us through email at Cinemoddities@gmail.com or join in on the fun found at the Cinemoddities subreddit - www.reddit.com/r/Cinemoddities    Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing o

Episode 159 - Saving Silverman (2001)   It's the bottom slice of bread on our Hannibal sandwich, another raunchy comedy from twenty years ago!  Rob and Ben take issue with this movie while Zack unabashedly expresses his love for it.  Thankfully, the philosophical concept of comedy comes up and saves us from having to discuss too much of this film.  Did Amanda Peet chained to a chair break Rob's mind?  Why is the early 2000's so good at using new music but so bad at covering classics?  How has absurdity changed in the last twenty years?  All this and more in this episode!   Head on over to the Cinemoddities patreon and subscribe to support the podcast and get access to bonus content at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities - or harass us on the Cinemoddities subreddit (www.reddit.com/r/Cinemoddities) and through email using Cinemoddities@gmail.com   Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song!  Check out more of their music by following this link: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mPues3Rp2w

Episode 158 - The Silence of the Lambs & Hannibal   The meat in our Hannibal sandwich is being garnished by one of the most influential movies of all time!  Join Rob & Zack as they immerse themselves into the Hannibal Lecter franchise.  Which movie is better: The Silence of the Lambs or Hannibal?  Should Ray Liotta be feared?  Will we put the lotion in the basket?  How can you live as a healthy cannibal?  Who are the recipients of MTV's Lifetime Achievement awards?  How can we train boars to eat people that feel no fear?  There is so much in this episode and you need to tune in for (most of) the answers!   Check out the article on cannibalism that is discussed in the episode here: https://www.inverse.com/article/7449-is-it-possible-to-be-a-healthy-cannibal-and-avoid-prion-disease    Join the Cinemoddities patreon to support the podcast and get access to bonus content at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities, and check out the Cinemoddities subreddit at www.reddit.com/r/Cinemoddities for more goofiness! 

Episode 157 - Sugar & Spice (2001)   The 2001 Fortyear is here!  For most of 2021, we'll be covering movies that were released between January and August of 2001.  And what better way to start than with a movie that doesn't exist?  Ben, Rob, and Zack grasp at straws to discuss this product but are constantly sidetracked by the smallest things.  There's talk of Matter Anorld, John Mayer, Marilyn Manson, how every movie in existence is a Christmas movie, and much more.     Head on over to the Cinemoddities patreon and subscribe to support the podcast and get access to bonus content at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities or harass us through Cinemoddities@gmail.com and www.reddit.com/r/Cinemoddities    Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song!  Check out more of there music by following this link: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mPues3Rp2wCKYzXOTDNP9?si=8TGZW_stQiyPo4vrgEUjzg 

Episode 156 - Midnight Run (1988)   We have reached the end of our Martin Brest series!  Join Rob, Zack, and Ben as they discuss Brest's second action-comedy film and see how it compares to "Beverly Hills Cop".  Is this movie any better than an absolute zero?  Are people having sex with chickens?  What does Rob think about "Scent of a Woman" and "Meet Joe Black"?  Tune in to find out!   Subscribe to our patreon account at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities to support the podcast and get access to bonus content!  Harass us through email using Cinemoddities@gmail.com or by posting on the Cinemoddities subreddit at www.reddit.com/r/Cinemoddities    Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song, and follow this link to hear more from them: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mPues3Rp2wCKYzXOTDNP9?si=JpwX330iSEG_IC0OLJOUNg 

Episode 155 - Beverly Hills Cop (1984)   It's the Martin Brest series, so we are pretty much obligated to cover his biggest movie!  Considered an American classic of Eddie Murphy's, of the action-comedy genre, and of the overall 1980's, Cinemoddities is finally here to explain why it is possibly one of the worst films ever put together.  Join Rob and Ben as they explain their disdain for this film!   Agree or disagree with our take on Beverly Hills Cop?  Let us know through email using Cinemoddities@gmail.com or join in on the nonsense over at the Cinemoddities subreddit, www.reddit.com/r/Cinemoddities   Support the podcast and get access to even more content by subscribing to our patreon!  www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for our theme song, be sure to check out more of their great music by following this link: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mPues3Rp2wCKYzXOTDNP9?si=-hp6j3T1RJidF9Bco4MIdw 

Episode 154 - Going in Style (1979)   We're diving deeper into the Martin Brest filmography with a movie that is more accessible than last week's, but just by a slight amount (somewhere around a microprobability).  What view of the elderly does this movie take?  How does Zach Braff's remake live up to this great movie?  Why does this film remind Rob of Get Him to the Greek?  Listen in to find out!   Subscribe to the Cinemoddities patreon to support the podcast and earn access to bonus content at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities - plus, harass us through email using Cinemoddities@gmail.com or check out the Cinemoddities subreddit at www.reddit.com/r/Cinemoddities    Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song.  Follow this link to hear more from them: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mPues3Rp2wCKYzXOTDNP9?si=oKjSmsvtQ6WhwkBGKLeN8w 

Episode 153 - Hot Tomorrows (1977)   Finally, we're getting to more Martin Brest movies!  And what's better than discussing them for an entire month!  Rob sure is excited, especially because we are starting with Brest's directorial debut, a film that is nearly impossible to watch.  There's talk of death, there's talk of "Gigli", there's the Mystic Knights of Oingo Boingo, and so much more.     Even if you can't watch this movie, we highly recommend checking out the musical numbers that we gush over in our discussion.  The Mystic Knights of Oingo Boingo performing "St. James Infirmary" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w5f-gA9qok - and the closing musical number of "42nd Street" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0UPopFGTgs    Harass us for discussing a nearly un-findable film through email at Cinemoddities@gmail.com or on the Cinemoddities subreddit, r/Cinemoddities.  And be sure to support the podcast and get access to even more content through the Cinemoddities patreon, www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities
