Not-So-Sober Cinema: THINGS HEARD & SEEN
May 05, 2021 23:30 - 37 minutes - 17.3 MBLess than a week after Amanda Seyfried invites us into her gaslit home. Some actors form a bond with their fans that can never be broken. No matter what Netflix original crap comes our way... we will always have CHLOE, our dear Ms. Seyfried. THINGS HEARD & SEEN... is no CHLOE. It is however a new film that involves a husband part that was dying for the charm and magnificent mugging of one Patrick Wilson. Alas, we are left with a dry ghost story that has us at times rooting for (yet again) ...
1996 at the Movies: BOTTLE ROCKET
April 06, 2021 22:41 - 48 minutes - 22.5 MBTwenty-five years of Wes Anderson's quirks have worked one host's nerves. But mainly it's the audacity to try and do DUMB AND DUMBER on the cheap. That's what we keep coming back to when we discuss the Wilson brothers breakout in BOTTLE ROCKET. Is the world of cinema big enough for TWO films examining the bonds between men formed during a life of crime and affection for travel by moped? Martin Scorsese (and more importantly the other two hosts on SOBER CINEMA) say yes. The other host is an ...
1996 at the Movies: BROKEN ARROW
February 09, 2021 02:36 - 37 minutes - 17.2 MBTwenty-five years of embracing John Travolta's hyper-masculinity. John Woo brought his over-the-top sensibilities to mainstream American success with BROKEN ARROW (never mind the earlier HARD TARGET) and landed right in the middle of the John Travolta renaissance. Unfortunately he paired this mugging masterpiece of a performance with fuddy-duddies like Christian Slater (PUMP UP THE VOLUME baby) as unbelievably his kickboxing sparring partner, Samantha Morton (also of the great PUMP UP THE V...
1996 at the Movies: THE JUROR
February 03, 2021 01:55 - 39 minutes - 18.1 MBTwenty-five years of everyone having a crush on Demi Moore. On this episode Alec Baldwin will teach us many a thing. First... that he is still a better parent than at least one of your hosts. Second... that even a mobster hit man must be wary of a group of people wearing discarded Super Bowl losing team t-shirts. And lastly that having an interest in Demi Moore does not make you special. You are just a dork like us. Ladies and gents, we present to you the 25th anniversary of the classic pie...
1996 at the Movies: BED OF ROSES
January 27, 2021 03:21 - 34 minutes - 15.9 MBTwenty-five years of Christian Slater being a bit much. BED OF ROSES is a sweet movie about two creeps who shouldn't be creepy together... but then again they are both saving another life by combining their creep powers. And while none of us have Christian Slater's hair (probably far closer to Mary Stuart Masterson in that department) we still produce a weekly(ish) podcast about our creepy thoughts. And we still don't get this flick. An expert commentary track ready for your ears as we eve...
1996 at the Movies: FROM DUSK TILL DAWN
January 18, 2021 22:09 - 41 minutes - 19.5 MBTwenty-Five Years of Tarantino as Clooney's ugly brother. As we continue to get lazier on this show (once there were two movies an episode, how foolish) we have handed over our film-watching fates to the gods of 1996 as we begin our journey to go week by week through the year that is well-known as the peak of cinema! Also Salma Hayek as a vampire stripper is an obvious place to start. Not just with movies. With anything. And who are we to question this simple fact? Along the way we debate...

Meryl on the Water in LET THEM ALL TALK and THE RIVER WILD
January 04, 2021 17:21 - 44 minutes - 20.7 MBMeryl Will Talk Anywhere... This Time on Water We cruise (excuse us, a crossing) into the new year with The GOAT, Meryl Streep, in her latest LET THEM ALL TALK. This improvised Steven Soderbergh film finds her doing battle with Candice Bergen, Dianne Wiest and the next member of that gang, our co-host The Nasty Hellcat. THE RIVER WILD from 1994 may be more his speed as in this Curtis Hanson directed film we find Streep in charge of nature but taking orders from a Kevin Bacon who can't swim...
SUPERINTELLIGENCE Seven Years After HER
December 28, 2020 20:42 - 46 minutes - 21.4 MBSince not even Google Assistant will scan the content of this podcast, consider this a safe space for your hosts to prefer the comedic stylings of A.I. assisted dating in the new HBO Max original SUPERINTELLIGENCE to the endless complaining of one Theodore Trombley as seen in the Academy Award winning HER. Also one host trains the other two on how to increase their sex line operator performance. It's a disturbing episode of SOBER CINEMA. Support what we do with bonus content and early epi...
Ten Years Later: LOVE & OTHER DRUGS
December 22, 2020 00:16 - 22 minutes - 10.3 MBGrandpa Jairo officially joins the show to defend himself against impotence. That's the episode. Also it's the ten year anniversary(ish) of Ed Zwick's LOVE & OTHER DRUGS. You may not know who Mr. Zwick is, nor should you care because in this film about Viagra coming to market (that's where Grandpa Jairo comes in) we get a glorious bounty of sex scenes with Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway. So who cares about Zwick? Not us. Support what we do with bonus content and early episodes on Pat...
Two Years Later: WIDOWS
December 04, 2020 21:30 - 29 minutes - 13.6 MBWe get our act together from the De Palma trash for a more serious minded thriller in Steve McQueen's WIDOWS. This includes playing "which of the WIDOWS has the best scowl and/or would go on a date with me?" and to answer such pressing questions about this very important heist movie we bring on David Giannini who continues to hate any and every movie that doesn't have Natalie Portman in it. Or Winona Ryder. He is, without a doubt, the worst person you will ever hear on a movie podcast. Enj...
Eighteen Years Later: FEMME FATALE
December 03, 2020 21:30 - 29 minutes - 13.7 MBNoted buzzkill of lesbian activity everywhere, our guest David Giannini of A PODCAST DIRECTED BY joins the show to continue being an absolute downer at what is most assuredly the best film of 2002 in Brian De Palma's FEMME FATALE. That is of course if your favorite movie podcast hosts could hold onto the thread with Rebecca Romijn doing a striptease and Antonia Banderas draped in leather. Spoiler alert: they could not.
Sixty Years Later: BUTTERFIELD 8
December 02, 2020 21:30 - 30 minutes - 14.3 MBWe are joined on this episode by Elizabeth Taylor enthusiast Derek Stewart of THE GRAND GESTURE to discuss sex positive attitudes and overly enthusiastic car chases being a dangerous but titillating combination for the sixty year anniversary of BUTTERFIELD 8.

Five Years Later: STEVE JOBS
December 01, 2020 21:30 - 28 minutes - 13.3 MBFive years after its critical success and box-office failure one of your hosts is still waiting on Verizon to deliver his new iPhone but at least he got to enjoy Michael Fassbender as STEVE JOBS. We try to keep the penis talk to a minimum however our lead character makes that difficult with his massive ego and god complex. We found all of this charming.

Thirteen Years Later: LARS AND THE REAL GIRL
November 30, 2020 21:30 - 25 minutes - 12 MBThirteen years ago the world was introduced to the sweetest romance a man can have with a sex doll in LARS AND THE REAL GIRL. On this episode we celebrate what society deems socially acceptable and somewhat cute AS LONG AS the quirky character looks like Ryan Gosling. Also we lament the lonely feeling that comes over a man when he sees an unwanted sex doll. It's cruel and it's sad. It's SOBER CINEMA.

Forty Years Later: THE ELEPHANT MAN
November 29, 2020 21:29 - 19 minutes - 9.14 MBWe object to the public medical examinations conducted by Sir (questionable) Anthony Hopkins in THE ELEPHANT MAN and wonder if getting naked would have turned the tables on all those jerks in this 1980 David Lynch film.

One Year Later: JOKER
November 13, 2020 14:08 - 31 minutes - 14.4 MBOne year later the joke is on us because Todd Phillips' JOKER has not improved. So instead we talk about kinky sex in a refrigerator (take that, Indiana Jones!) and how the only people that like clowns are those who still prefer death and apparently the Academy Awards.

Thirty Years Later: MILLER'S CROSSING
October 31, 2020 22:24 - 28 minutes - 13.1 MBThere's just nothing like the sass of John Turturro. But heaven knows that we try. We remain the only podcast with the GUTS to challenge Kevin Spacey to fisticuffs, think that Jon Polito would make for the best boss, and question the misanthrope nature of Gabriel Byrne. Also a little bit on Andy Richter's family history as a Swedish-German. This is The Definitive episode on thirty years of the Coen Brothers MILLER'S CROSSING. But you already knew that.

Twenty-Five Years Later: SEVEN
October 02, 2020 03:00 - 33 minutes - 15.5 MBOn September 22, 1995 the world was unaware that there was soon to be a new contender for the greatest buddy cop comedy of all time... and perhaps that's because this a very misleading description of David Fincher's SEVEN. However before all of the apocalyptic imagery and speechifying from another movie-of-the-week serial killer we do get a lovely image of Brad Pitt asleep on Morgan Freeman's shoulder. You should look that up. It's nice. And it's conveniently featured on our podcast page. Y...
Fifty Years Later: FIVE EASY PIECES
October 01, 2020 03:00 - 27 minutes - 12.6 MBAn iconic performance from Jack Nicholson in FIVE EASY PIECES opened fifty years ago on September 12, 1970 and when you are talking about a genuine classic piece of cinema like this you must mention: Nicholson's hair may be flanked but it's not dead yet and neither are we! Sex positive love interests must never be dismissed even if they lack in bowling skills. Scissoring exists. One must only believe.

Five Years Later: A WALK IN THE WOODS
September 30, 2020 02:56 - 26 minutes - 12.3 MBMany people (okay, probably just Grandpa Jairo) have tried to interfere with one host's love for Nick Nolte in A WALK IN THE WOODS since it stormed cinemas five years ago on September 2, 2015. They have failed. And this podcast definitely won't put a stop to it as we revel in this American hero's love of booze, big women and pancakes. Read that again Grandpa Jairo. That doubt you feel is just the usual type of revelation one can find with the poignant film analysis of SOBER CINEMA. Supp...
One Year Later: READY OR NOT
September 29, 2020 02:56 - 25 minutes - 11.9 MBOn August 21, 2019 some idiot listened to his family of dorks and decided to play games with his new bride... and didn't even have a proper gaming chair to Twitch. As a country we have to come to terms that we will never understand the rich and probably should stop trying. We start with READY OR NOT where this great woman just wanted to have sex on her wedding night and instead got this movie.

Twenty Years Later: THE CELL
September 20, 2020 21:35 - 30 minutes - 14.2 MBOn this episode you will be thankful to make a twenty year anniversary trip back into THE CELL with Jennifer Lopez and Vince Vaughn as opposed to entering the minds of your hosts which include a lot more T & A but definitely not the hair stylings of one Vincent D'Onofrio.

June 29, 2020 09:00 - 37 minutes - 17.2 MBIn the age of COVID-19 one host just has to accept that he can excuse the Mayor of Amity Island because the man has fantastic hair and is a snappy dresser. The other host would like to talk about nipples. Also this JAWS movie is a masterpiece and has been since its release on June 20, 1975. What new material do you want from us here?

Forty Years Later: THE BLUE LAGOON
June 26, 2020 15:01 - 37 minutes - 17.6 MBOn the nineteenth and twentieth of June in the year of our Lord 1980 the coastal elites got their chance to see young adults (really young) discover sex for the first time in THE BLUE LAGOON. This uncomfortable bit of marketing a fourteen year old Brooke Shields in a state of undress would soon make its way to the flyover states... and be just as financially successful.

May 18, 2020 09:00 - 42 minutes - 19.7 MBTwenty-five years later we are still fantasizing about bickering with the sweaty likes of Denzel, Viggo, The GOAT Steve Zahn... and occasionally even the magnificent ass that is Gene Hackman. Basically we just want to go back to the glorious back to back weekends of May 12 and May 19, 1995 when CRIMSON TIDE and DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE gave every father and son bonding activities that didn't require any actual conversation. No need for that, of course. That's why we invented podcasts like t...
Twenty-Two Years Later: THE HORSE WHISPERER and LAWN DOGS
May 11, 2020 10:00 - 45 minutes - 20.9 MBTwo things we love in life are horses and shirtless men. We also love Scarlett Johansson but NOT the underage version we find in THE HORSE WHISPERER. This is something Sam Rockwell needed to hear again twenty-two years ago as his little indie film LAWN DOGS went up yet another western epic from Robert Redford. And since Mr. Rockwell is presumably one of the many listeners we have let this episode be a gentle reminder of appropriate relationships between a simple landscaper and a young misant...

May 05, 2020 00:59 - 46 minutes - 21.3 MBWe somehow manage to get into a discussion on bondage in film... and that's even with a brief mention of the Rosie O'Donnell comedy on the subject. But we ARE NOT discussing that film, instead the sexy Antonio Banderas is a man who loves a good Walkman, wigs, and some ropes in the bedroom, the latter of which would be required to watch YET ANOTHER horror anthology from Stephen King in TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE: THE MOVIE. But we're podcast professionals. Which means we only talk about bathtub...
Five Years Later: MONKEY KINGDOM and ROAR
April 27, 2020 10:00 - 39 minutes - 18.2 MBFor Earth Day we got back in touch with nature by not leaving the house and watching a double feature of DisneyNature's MONKEY KINGDOM and Tippi Hedren's costly mistake ROAR. Five years ago we had no desire to run around with ugly and elitist monkeys, nor did we want to wrestle with lions and tigers... and even with the world shut down, we still don't. Some things never change but for this episode one of your hosts is lathered up and that's a reminder that SOBER CINEMA can only exist in audi...
Thirty-Five Years Later: CAT'S EYE and GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN
April 25, 2020 15:36 - 43 minutes - 20.2 MBWe just want to have fun with a champion cat roaming town to town to get electroshocked and fight trolls in CAT'S EYE. And when that doesn't do it for us we go to the greatest troll in cinematic history: Helen Hunt in GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN. It's been thirty-five years since both these films announced themselves with much dance from Sarah Jessica Parker and merriment in tormenting James Woods and we felt that right now the world needs to be reminded of these simple joys.

BIG TIME ADOLESCENCE Five Years After LAGGIES
March 27, 2020 20:16 - 47 minutes - 21.8 MBOur love of Sam Rockwell and hatred of Pete Davidson lead us to the obvious podcast pairing of the two previous Sundance Film Festival darlings in LAGGIES and BIG TIME ADOLESCENCE. And while we are just one of the millions covering these films this week on movie podcasts as opposed to something more off-topic like OUTBREAK or CONTAGION, the reactions we have to this particular double feature produced some scary reactions.

March 16, 2020 11:00 - 42 minutes - 19.6 MBWe spent our St. Patrick's Day weekend like most responsible Americans during this time of disease, famine and doomsday titillation... by drinking to excess in isolation and watching BLACK CHRISTMAS. This third version of the story failed at the box-office during it's titled holiday season with the hopes that one day SOBER CINEMA would feature it during another holiday week so that it can shape young minds to hate all men. Given that your two hosts hate themselves we might not be the ideal t...

Three Years Later: THE SHALLOWS and THE NEON DEMON
September 03, 2019 02:36 - 41 minutes - 19.2 MBFinish out the summer with us as we present two films that came out at the start of summer in 2016 as Blake Lively battled a shark in THE SHALLOWS and Elle Fanning battled jealous supermodels. Both proved to be bloody affairs with very pretty people on June 24, 2016 but only one became a modest little hit... while the other fell more into the SOBER CINEMA area of the internet: finding a disgusted audience who for some reason could not deny their morbid curiosity.

Twenty-Five Years Later: WOLF and GETTING EVEN WITH DAD
June 22, 2019 20:14 - 48 minutes - 22.6 MBJack Nicholson's passion project of over a decade finally came to pass as WOLF released in theaters on June 17, 1994. If you just happened to be some combination of an idiot and a soulless, lifeless husk whose own mother regretted your very existence then you probably skipped the good time that is The Jack Wolf and watched GETTING EVEN WITH DAD instead. And while Ted Danson has one spectacular wig (and a pony tail!) the hijinks with Macauley Culkin are nothing compared to the fun to be had s...
