29. The Dark Crystal - A Charming, Ancient Tale
September 19, 2019 03:00 - 12 minutes - 8.65 MBMOVIE REVIEW: Who doesn't love puppets? Well, I guess they can be pretty freaky at times, especially marionettes, but we're not here to talk marionettes, we're here to talk puppets! Well, okay, not really, we're here to talk The Dark Crystal, Jim Henson and Frank Oz's high-fantasy movie from 1982, the same Dark Crystal that just saw a prequel released on Netflix (but more on that in another episode!). We're here to review The Dark Crystal and its puppet magic, so why don't you press that...

September 11, 2019 01:00 - 17 minutes - 12 MBMOVIE REVIEW: IT destroyed box office records, solidifying the power of a well crafted R-rated horror blockbuster and reminded everyone of Stephen King's prolific storytelling.

September 04, 2019 22:00 - 14 minutes - 9.86 MBMOVIE REVIEW: It's May 22nd, 2008, and Rob's friends are throwing him a party. He just received a huge promotion, and soon he'll be in Japan far away from New York's troubles and woes. But sooner, rather than later, it seems everything's been put on hold when an explosion shakes Manhattan island from north to south. Things only get worse when Rob and his friends learn there's a giant monster rampaging down central park. Something about Cloverfield has kept the attention of fans for years...

August 29, 2019 02:00 - 19 minutes - 13.7 MBMOVIE REVIEW: Rick Dalton has reached his peak, and it's all downhill from here. Nobody cares that he was a part of a #1 serialized western. That's old news. Now he's just an extra, a star that's bounced around shows to bring in viewers and grow the ego of new, younger stars. He knows it's not long until he's nothing but an old memory in the minds of the world, and that terrifies him. Tune in Wednesday nights for new episodes of Cinematic Doctrine!

August 18, 2019 19:00 - 23 minutes - 15.8 MBTV SHOW REVIEW: Cinema is crawling with them. You can't escape them. Superheroes are everywhere, and their mythos has gone from strictly nerd culture to passive general knowledge. From grand selfless acts to amazing feats of strength, a superhero represents truth and justice the world over. And yet, we live in a world that feels sick, hopeless, and cynical.

August 14, 2019 17:00 - 11 minutes - 7.87 MBMOVIE REVIEW: I have fond memories of reading Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark back in Elementary school. Well, when I say reading, I mean looking at all the spooky illustrations. Even so, I still remember having a grand old time with my friends telling each other stories from the pages of Alvin Schwartz anthologies.

21. The Farewell - The Heavy Weight of Lying
August 07, 2019 19:00 - 16 minutes - 11.1 MBMOVIE REVIEW: Which is better: to ignore the truth, or confront it? Sometimes, it doesn't feel that simple. Sometimes we tell half-truths or skip around it with ease. For Billi's family, lying is at the forefront of their every action after learning her grandmother has stage-four lung cancer. Rather than telling her outright, they treat it like nothing's happened and put up a ruse to keep her from ever finding out. But the morality of the situation puts Billi in a hard place, and she can...

July 31, 2019 23:00 - 21 minutes - 15.1 MBMOVIE REVIEW: Casey Davies is different, fragile, soft-spoken, qualities that make for a vulnerable man, and all it took was a single mugging to put him on edge. Fearing the worst, he decides to join a Karate class to toughen up, but there's more to this than meets the eye. It's not just about getting stronger, but feeling confident, feeling powerful, feeling comfortable around... other men? Yes, you read that right!

Manchester by the Sea - Quick Audiences and Dysfunctional Families
July 25, 2019 01:00 - 17 minutes - 12.1 MBMOVIE REVIEW: It's often difficult to put into words the kind of experiences we've had, and sometimes we have to skirt around the idea that we can be vulnerable, open, emotionally available. Sometimes we feel like we need to put up a wall, and that's the best way we can protect ourselves, like a callous of the heart. One of the most difficult things to do is understand someone. I'm talking really understand someone, yet understanding is a fundamental aspect of relationships. Sometimes, t...

More appropriately considered a childhood drama with vampires in it, Let the Right One In has won over 40 awards during its festival run. Haunting, patient, a master craft of depressive thrillers, you'll want nothing more than to bundle up with a hot chocolate when watching this film.

OT: The Steep 'Learning Curve' of Panos Cosmatos
July 16, 2019 23:00 - 9 minutes - 6.75 MBARCHIVED EPISODE // ON TOPIC: There are tons of movies out there that may seem off-putting. They're alienating from start to finish, often called 'artsy-fartsy' or 'pretentious', and at their worst can repel most people. Other films can seem too good to be true and you can't help but press play, wading through what seems the most bizarre plot line with unrealistic characters. And then, there are other films that seem a little... too weird. They make you go, "That's it?" and you move on...
17. Spider-Man: Far From Home - A Safe Epilogue to Phase Three
July 10, 2019 13:00 - 12 minutes - 8.8 MBMOVIE REVIEW: If Avengers: Endgame wasn't surreal enough, Spider-Man: Far From Home will really get you thinking about the MCU as a whole. With this being the first foray into a post-Endgame world, there's something familiar yet undeniably different about its offerings, and the big question will be how Kevin Feige and the rest of the crew back at Disney/Marvel decide on the franchise future. So how does this film handle itself as both an epilogue to Phase 3, but also whispers of Phase 4? ...

Most hipsters don't need to think hard about that, but what if it was the Beatles? And worse yet, they never existed in the first place? A real nightmare indeed, a nightmare Jack Malik realizes is all too real. To cope, he struggles to remember every single Beatles song he can, but can't help himself from touring as though they were his own songs. But that sounds a little li...

June 27, 2019 01:00 - 14 minutes - 9.83 MBMOVIE REVIEW: We're reviewing The Happening for this episode. You know The Happening gets a bad rap? It's got a cool premise, it's got comedy. You like The Happening, right? By the way, I think I know what's going on, and I want to let you know before it's too late. I was at the thrift store a while ago. There was a really good-looking DVD on the shelf. Really good-looking. I went up to it and grabbed it from the shelf. I didn't even have cash, and I almost bought it. I'm talking a complet...

Rocketman - Love Lost is Hard to Find
June 20, 2019 00:00 - 15 minutes - 10.9 MBMOVIE REVIEW: Producers wanted nothing more than Rocketman to push for a PG-13 rating, yet Elton John would say every time: I have not led a PG-13 life. And when it comes right down to it, I don't think most people have. I believe that's what makes this film such a fascinating, magical experience. Brilliant visuals and mystical moments in Rocketman are more than simply a dream-inspired retelling of Elton John's life, but a translation of what it's like to be human, to remember, to want, to...

Mandy - Furious, Starless Love
June 13, 2019 01:00 - 21 minutes - 14.7 MBMOVIE REVIEW: Earning a 4-minute standing ovation at Cannes Film Festival, Mandy embraces the world of art-house cinema while comfortably fitting itself amidst popular midnight movies. It's the best of both worlds, and that's not the only thing about Mandy that flips like a coin.

12. Godzilla: King of the Monsters - Fun, Dumb, and Ironic
June 06, 2019 01:00 - 16 minutes - 7.57 MBMOVIE REVIEW: Michael Dougherty has said Godzilla: King of the Monsters is to Godzilla (2014) as Aliens is to Alien, and while I can understand the logic, I don't know if the comparison works entirely. At the very least, both films feature inventive motion capture, if you can call 3 actors playing the individual Ghidorah heads inventive. Trivia aside, how does Godzilla: King of the Monsters handle in comparison to not only Godzilla (2014), but even the much appreciated 1954 original? Com...

May 30, 2019 02:00 - 18 minutes - 12.5 MBMOVIE REVIEW: What if Superman was evil? That's been the marketing focus of Brightburn since day one. It's been the question everyone's wondered about, and at the very least, it makes for a very interesting high concept advertisement. But a film is more than a concept, and what we watch in the theater lays testament to what we hype up during the seasons leading up to release.

Pokémon Detective Pikachu - Unironically Postmodern
May 15, 2019 23:00 - 11 minutes - 8.15 MBMOVIE REVIEW: One of the strangest, most unexpected contributions of the year has to be Pokemon Detective Pikachu. It may not seem all that weird until you really sit down and think to yourself, "Wait a minute... a Pokémon movie built entirely around a missing person, and a talking Pikachu is on the case? Who thought of this!?" Well, I can confirm it's as weird as you might suspect, although I'm eager for things to get weirder, and I think this film is the franchise tip of an iceberg! Po...

The moment we've all been waiting for has finally arrived, and Avengers: Endgame has graced the cinematic screen this weekend. Garnering over 1 billion dollars in less than a week, Kevin Feige and the rest at Disney are pouring the champagne and celebrating financial success. Money is one thing, but how is the film itself?

6. Pet Sematary (2019) - Sluggishly Mediocre, Highly Forgettable, Disappointing
April 25, 2019 00:00 - 7 minutes - 3.3 MBMOVIE REVIEW: Despite being rather tame in comparison to other Stephen King novels, Pet Sematary is known for its merciless psychological horror.
