Two Years Later: THE MUMMY and THE HERO

June 21, 2019 11:06 - 48 minutes - 22.3 MB

For our fiftieth episode we celebrate the old and the cursed as Sam Elliott faces the prospect of death in THE HERO and Tom Cruise, being Tom Cruise, kicks around the notion of living forever in THE MUMMY. Both films released two years ago on June 9, 2017 and while both have their merits... clearly SOBER CINEMA has outlasted their legacy.

Thirteen Years Later: THE BREAK-UP and COASTLINES

June 20, 2019 10:42 - 44 minutes - 20.5 MB

As we near our fiftieth episode there may be some of you (hopefully very few as we don't have many listeners to begin with) contemplating breaking up with us. That would be a mistake. Let us take you back thirteen years when THE BREAK-UP starring Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston presented this particular unpleasant event in a humorous light. If that's not enough where else will you find a movie podcast covering the Josh Brolin and Timothy Olyphant classic COASTLINES? I rest my case. Click h...

Twenty-Five Years Later: MAVERICK and EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES

June 19, 2019 16:44 - 43 minutes - 19.9 MB

America's favorite movie star is back with a charming action adventure film just before Memorial Day weekend... Mel Gibson, of course. Don't worry we'll get to Keanu Reeves for the anniversary of JOHNNY MNEMONIC next year. For now we're celebrating twenty-five years since the western MAVERICK took the box office crown for the weekend of May 20-22 in 1994. The forgotten film? One that your hosts were only aware of through its disastrous reputation, the Uma Thurman starring EVEN COWGIRLS GET T...

Eight Years Later: THOR and SOMETHING BORROWED

June 15, 2019 13:42 - 37 minutes - 17.5 MB

On May 6, 2011 the world accepted a fallen god in Chris Hemsworth... just Chris Hemsworth not THOR. But that was the big movie at the box office while another new release SOMETHING BORROWED placed fourth for the weekend. And while the latter film has a very competitive blonde in Kate Hudson, this romcom's charms of scheming and lying were just not enough to stare into the face of a god (with oddly dyed eyebrows)... that god being Chris Hemsworth. He's Australian. That basic bitch Hudson neve...

One Year Later: A QUIET PLACE and THE ENDLESS

June 11, 2019 00:42 - 1 hour - 32.1 MB

On April 6, 2018 the world was terrified by the varied facial expressions of Jim from THE OFFICE. And while this great man has produced many a GIF, one of our hosts thinks that John Krasinski's A QUIET PLACE is one big missed opportunity at the world's greatest fart joke. No such expectation was placed on our chosen forgotten film THE ENDLESS, as Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead just give another host fodder for his almost sexual obsession with David Lynch-like imagery. Overall these show no...

Ten Years Later: WATCHMEN and REUNION

June 06, 2019 01:12 - 44 minutes - 20.5 MB

Ten years ago on March 6, 2009 we got our first disappointing comic book adaptation from Zack Snyder. But instead of piling on we just embrace the glowing blue penis this misunderstood genius gave us in WATCHMEN. Which is more than we can say for our chosen forgotten film REUNION. Not. A. Single. Blue. Dick. This movie stinks, but we don't. Click here: Support what we do with bonus content and early episodes on Patreon Listen: iTunes/Podbean Facebook/Instagram/Twitter: @sobercinema Follo...

Eight Years Later: HALL PASS and DRIVE ANGRY

June 03, 2019 14:37 - 45 minutes - 21.2 MB

Still angry over GREEN BOOK winning Best Picture? Think it wasn't as good as a TRUE Farrelly Bros. classic like HALL PASS? Well then take a trip back with us to the weekend of February 25-27 when that film opened #1 at the box office against Nicolas Cage escaping hell in a fast muscle car from DRIVE ANGRY. And while Peter Farrelly may have an Oscar, we think our forgotten film featuring a gunfight with a fugitive from hell in the act of sexual intercourse could truly be The Only Best Picture...

Five Years Later: ABOUT LAST NIGHT and ENDLESS LOVE

May 31, 2019 19:56 - 32 minutes - 15.3 MB

Two 80s remakes released on Valentine's Day weekend 2014 but only one ends with an All-American couple having sex with a chicken mask on. Since this is an audio only podcast we include the clucking sounds but you should really watch ABOUT LAST NIGHT with Regina Hall and Kevin Hart. Oh and the other movie was ENDLESS LOVE. It stinks.

Ten Years Later: HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU and FANBOYS

May 31, 2019 02:16 - 1 hour - 40.9 MB

On February 6, 2009 the world finally solved the problem of the battle of the sexes and for those that were not participating in the act of sex... well those poor bastards got a movie that finally ten years later celebrated the release of STAR WARS: EPISODE 1 - THE PHANTOM MENACE. In this very meta episode we bring on Star Wars fan Jason Michael of the Atlantic Screen Connection podcast to discuss the much maligned FANBOYS along with the advice from Drew Barrymore and company in HE'S JUST NO...

Ep. 41 - Twenty-Five Years Later: BLINK and RED ROCK WEST

February 12, 2019 21:00 - 52 minutes - 24.3 MB

Twenty-five years ago on January 28, 1994 the world got not one but two noir thrillers. Our forgotten film RED ROCK WEST that opened on one screen to $11k starring Nicolas Cage doing one-armed pushups on the side of a desert highway... and the mainstream hit BLINK which opened to $4 million starring Madeline Stowe as a blind woman WISHING that she could see Cage in all his shirtless glory. Unfortunately she could not and this thriller features a whole lot of mansplaining as she tries to iden...

Thirteen Years Later: UNDERWORLD EVOLUTION and WHY WE FIGHT

January 30, 2019 22:49 - 48 minutes - 22.6 MB

Thirteen years ago on January 20, 2006 the world was exposed to the endless war in two very different films. The box office hit UNDERWORLD: EVOLUTION was #1 for the weekend at 26.8 million dollars while the documentary WHY WE FIGHT opened on just six screens to 53 grand. One film presents a very complex issue of how violence and cruelty in the quest for power is passed down from generation to generation... and the other doesn't feature Kate Beckinsale in a catsuit.

Eight Years Later: THE DILEMMA and BARNEY'S VERSION

January 14, 2019 13:00 - 40 minutes - 18.6 MB

We go back to earlier times of outrage (because you can't possibly be tired of that, right? RIGHT??) to Vince Vaughn being homophobic to cars and Dustin Hoffman being horny at his wife's grave.... these are the type of show notes one needs to grab your attention when celebrating the eight year anniversary of the release of THE DILEMMA and BARNEY'S VERSION.

Ep. 38 - Two Years Later: HIDDEN FIGURES and ACCIDENTAL COURTESY

January 08, 2019 04:59 - 1 hour - 28.3 MB

Two years ago on January 6, 2017 the world welcomed with open arms yet another attempt by Hollywood to solve race relations once and for all. HIDDEN FIGURES, the story of three African American mathematicians who help put an American into space, opened to box office and critical success as it expanded into wide release.

Ep. 37 - One Year Later: ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD and PHANTOM THREAD

January 01, 2019 04:25 - 58 minutes - 26.8 MB

One year ago the world heard an awful lot about Kevin Spacey being replaced at the last minute in a film scheduled to be released just over a month later on Christmas Day. For their opening weekend of December 29-31 Ridley Scott's ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD would be the top new release at the box-office but would fade over the Oscar season as Paul Thomas Anderson's PHANTOM THREAD expanded and became the object of cinephiles fascination.

S1E35 - Six Months Later: HEREDITARY and HEARTS BEAT LOUD

It's the holiday season... which means we are tired of Christmas movies and jump back six months to June 8, 2018 with warmer weather and the release of warmer family films such as HEREDITARY and HEARTS BEAT LOUD. To do so we bring on Andy From Work as a guest to tackle the horror of Nick Offerman having a heart in a part very much removed from the iconic Ron Swanson.

Ep. 34 - Twenty Years Later: PSYCHO and LITTLE VOICE

December 08, 2018 02:39 - 53 minutes - 24.7 MB

On December 4, 1998 the world was exposed to the great pipes of LITTLE VOICE and the sound of one man's passionate solo love in Gus Van Sant's remake of PSYCHO. Our mainstream release starring Vince Vaughn as the classic Norman Bates character was reviled upon release, and while we may not surprise you with our focus on the sound design of this film (for when do we not spend ten minutes talking about that when it comes to cinema?) we may with a bit of a defense for this experiment.

Eight years ago on November 24, 2010 the world let its hair down at the movies with Disney's TANGLED and some poor bastard's BURLESQUE. The former may now be the little sister to FROZEN but at the time it was another major animated hit for the company that would soon own every IP, while the latter was a not-so-successful flick at the box office for Cher's no longer animated face.

On November 17, 1978 stern, disapproving fathers everywhere were coming to terms with the fact that their sons were absolutely, positively DORKS. For Ralph Bakshi was bringing her hybrid animation adaptation of J.R.R.

On October 26, 2007 Steve Carrell betrayed his on-screen brother Dane Cook and America cheered for DAN IN REAL LIFE, which opened second to SAW 424, at the box office. The nation was not so kind to similar antics from Philip Seymour Hoffman when he tried to pull the same shit with Ethan Hawke in Sidney Lumet's final film BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD which opened on the same day.

Ep. 28 - Thirty-Five Years Later: ALL THE RIGHT MOVES and THE RIGHT STUFF

We've seen FIRST MAN. And now thirty-five years later we finally get around to the three plus hours to see if we have THE RIGHT STUFF. That's obviously doubtful to our listeners, and perhaps even more so is if we have ALL THE RIGHT MOVES, the other and initially more successful film released on October 21, 1983. Both films look at expected masculinity of their time, which is why we forgive them for not living up to the manliness of THE Nasty Hellcat. Find a real hero, not these astronauts or...
