Episode 90: Halloween Horror Recommendations
Thursday Oct 24, 2024
Thursday Oct 24, 2024
It's nearly Halloween so I thought I'd meet with Joe & Rob from Caliber 9 From Outer Space to share some recommendations for spookytime movie watching. Whether you're into actually scary movies, gory movies, or just silly goofy movies with a horror bent, we got something for you in this episode.
And stay tuned at the end to hear which presidential candidate earns the coveted official Cinema Oblivia endorsement!

Episode 89: I'm Gonna Git You Sucka!

DON'T YOU SAY THAT.
Emmett Watkins Jr. returns to the podcast to talk about this wacky Blaxploitation spoof that helped to launch the Wayans family empire. We had a lot to say about this one, it may be my longest episode yet! We also talk about its lesser-known sequel/spin-off (yes, really!) and another attempt at Blaxsploitation homage that did not work nearly as well, Original Gangstas.

Episode 88: Vampire Circus

What's more terrifying than a circus full of clowns? A circus full of vampires!
Joe Odber from the Caliber 9 From Outer Space podcast returns to Cinema Oblivia to talk about Vampire Circus, a 1970s Hammer horror flick that's oddly disturbing when compared to their other flicks featured fanged villain. Slight content warning on this one, there is some icky stuff in this one!

Episode 87: Catch The Heat

Tuesday Aug 13, 2024
Anthony Abatte joins me once again to talk about Catch The Heat, an utterly forgotten late-80s B-grade action flick written by Sterling Silliphant and starring his wife Tiana Alexandra. It's a mess! But it's a charming mess. When it's not throwing out really bad racial slurs in its attempt to criticize racism.
Yeah, um, content warning on this one.

Rob Hill of the Bad Movie Bible returns with possibly the most British thing I have ever seen in my entire life. If you've never seen Mr. Jolly Lives Next Door, for God's sake go on YouTube right now and watch Mr. Jolly Lives Next Door, it's only 53 minutes long! Then come back and listen to us laugh about Mr. Jolly Lives Next Door for over 90 minutes.

Doris Day makes her long-awaited debut on Cinema Oblivia!
I put together this episode with Anthony Abatte and Diamond Feit because I wanted to introduce them to the wonderful world of Doris Day. And while we did that, I think we spent even more time talking about the amazing wit of Eve Arden and the inhuman dancing of Gene Nelson!

Episode 84: A Brief Guide to Lesser Known Charles Bronson Movies
Monday Jun 03, 2024
Monday Jun 03, 2024
I've been unable to record lately due to my ever-so-fun health issues, so I thought I'd throw together this quick episode going over the multitude of Charles Bronson films I've seen recently. There are a lot, and most of them aren't the first flicks people think of when they think of Bronson. Lots of fun movies here, I hope you come away from this with some movies you want to check out!

Episode 83: Species II
Friday May 03, 2024
Friday May 03, 2024
It's the goopiest episode of Cinema Oblivia yet! Is Species II an unfairly maligned sequel? Madeleine Koestner thinks so, and she makes her case that this movie has a bad rep that is, well, at least partially unjustified. I mean, let's not get crazy here.

Episode 82: Batman & Robin

Sunday Apr 14, 2024
Last week I watched Batman & Robin for the first time and I unironically loved it so much. Seriously, I think it's an amazing movie and maybe the best Batman movie ever made.
I needed to talk to someone about it! Thankfully, superhero movie aficionado and Batman superfan Anthony Abatte was able to join me to offer a more sane opinion on the film. We also talk about other films where our opinions deviate from the norm, sometimes we all have really out-there opinions!

Sunday Mar 31, 2024
Diamond Feit and I cannot stop talking about 1970s plane disaster TV movies! We're back with two more, the ludicrous Murder on Flight 502 and the absolutely bonkers SST: Death Flight!
We, as a culture, lost something when we stopped making star-studded TV movies, I tell ya.
