April 15, 2020 15:05 - 1 hour - 128 MB

They might have a few things in common, but I don't know if I've seen two films handle it in such completely different ways. On this weeks' episode of the Cinema Vertigogo Podcast, we're taking a look at one of the more recent films to find its way to Shudder, Daniel Isn't Real.

January 29, 2020 11:41 - 2 hours - 249 MB

The awards season is entering its final stretch and we've crammed in as many films from 2019 as we can, which means it's time to sift through the mess and bust out our Best of the Year: 2019 lists. It's also time for us to put the 2010's to bed, so we're dropping our Best of the Decade lists as well.    Intro: 0:00 - 10:20 Best of the Year: 2019: 10:26 - 1:19:32 Best of the Decade: 1:19:40 - 2:35:20   https://www.patreon.com/cinemavertigogo https://www.facebook.com/cinemavertigogo/ h...

Little Women and I Lost My Body

January 10, 2020 11:39 - 2 hours - 199 MB

This week we are taking a look at two films that charmed the pants off critics this year... just not the ones who get to cast award season votes. First up is the picture that has #FilmTwitter cannibalizing itself, Little Women... a movie that firmly establishes Greta Gerwig as one of the Best Directors in the business; even if the Hollywood Foreign Press and most likely the Academy don't agree. Then we take a look at a quirky animated film about a severed hand, I Lost My Body... which is c...

Uncut Gems and Atlantics

December 31, 2019 11:31 - 2 hours - 222 MB

We're talking about two films this week which are popping up on many people's best of the year lists... but will they get any love from the Academy when they announce the nominees for this year's little golden statue award? If there was any justice in the world, Adam Sandler will hear his name called for his role in the Safdie Brothers' latest gritty New York crime drama, Uncut Gems. And if you don't know who Mati Diop is... just wait, cause you soon will. Her feature film debut, Atlantics...

After 42 years the beloved Star Wars Skywalker Saga is coming to an end with Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker but did JJ Abrams and a boardroom of Disney executives stick the landing?

Marriage Story and Honey Boy

December 20, 2019 06:36 - 2 hours - 190 MB

We're putting the family unit under the microscope this week with two films that track the downward slope of disfunction.

Doctor Sleep and Primal

November 11, 2019 11:15 - 2 hours - 186 MB

One is a sequel we didn't know we needed... the other an obvious paycheck job that Nic Cage must have been desperate for.

September 17, 2019 14:55 - 2 hours - 172 MB

Nightmare Cinema and Knife + Heart

July 27, 2019 15:14 - 1 hour - 160 MB

Happy 100th Episode. True to form, we're talking about two films that draw inspiration from two classic horror tropes, the anthology, and the Giallo. Nightmare Cinema is an anthology that revolves around a mysterious movie theater with a wicked projectionist played by Mickey Rourke. This might come as a revelation to Rourke, who I'm not sure realized he was making a movie. Knife + Heart dials back to the heydays of the grisly Italian Giallo, but from a perspective we almost never see.   ...

Crawl and Spider-Man: Far From Home

July 17, 2019 13:26 - 1 hour - 153 MB

Summer movies are meant to be fun, and this week we've got two that seem to have gotten the memo. Will Crawl do for basements what Jaws did to the ocean? Probably not, but a case can be made after watching this movie that between hurricanes and predators, people should avoid Florida at all costs. And will Spider-Man become the next Tony Stark? Should he? The future of the MCU is up in the air in the first installment of the franchise post Endgame. Intro: 0:00 - 10:30 Crawl: 11:11 - 53:13...

There's a lot of pressure coming into this episode of the Cinema Vertigogo Podcast as we squeeze two of the most highly anticipated releases of the year into one exciting episode. First up, they say you can't go back, but don't tell that to Netflix who dropped the latest installment of their nostalgia drenched series Stranger Things on Independence Day. Does Season 3 give us a fresh take on teenage drama? Or are they just repeating themselves? Then it's off to Sweden for Ari Aster's eagerl...

Murder Mystery and Booksmart

July 08, 2019 01:29 - 1 hour - 151 MB
