Solomavino, Part 3
I think this episode packs a lot of use into a short runtime. My aim here is to bundle most of the movies currently available for streaming into two categories: Hotties and Notties. There are some horrible options out there,

Picard Recap
As we enter another week of isolation, we hope everyone is staying safe and breathing well. Pretty much everybody who can binge is binging, and that includes us. Travis and I are longtime Star Trek nerds,

Cinema-Zoom-O
This week, the gang gets back together–albeit remotely. We talk about what we’re watching in our collective isolation, and what’s in our upcoming queues. We hope everyone is staying healthy and sane during this tough time. Now,

So, it’s just me. I’ll lay out a few movies from the last couple years you may have missed. This is a great time to catch up on few underrated movies, hopefully y’all enjoy these.

Movies We Can Live Without
Our discussion involves a reverse of the desert island debate. Rather than what we would take with us, we talk about the things we would subtract from the world if we had to. If you had a choice, would you live without movies or music?

Three Men and a Baby (1987)
This is Episode 70 of Cinemavino. Today, we return to an old format: The boys and I screen Three Men and a Baby, an 80s staple that doesn’t age too well. It’s cornball, politically incorrect, and–as a brand new father–factually inaccurate. But,

Celebrity Crushes
As the shock of me having a newborn becomes more comfortable, we return to a familiar format for this week’s episode of Cinemavino. We draw a movie to screen for next week’s episode, after which we’ll booze and offer an assortment of pithy observation...

Three Men and a Baby (1987)
On this week's Cinemavino, we get back in the swing of things. Sean, Taylor, and Travis join me for some vino, and talk about what we've been up to. Spoiler alert: I've been learning to take care of a newborn baby. (And it's been quite the adventure!)

Star Trek: Picard (*Todd Solo*)
This episode only features me. I broke away from baby-raising long enough to watch the first episode of Star Trek: Picard. The first half of this mini-sode will be spoiler-free, and I’ll give you a heads-up when it changes.

Desert Island Movies, Part II
Our desert island discussion was so damn epic, it spilled into two episodes. For this week’s Cinemavino, we complete our discussion with gusto. If you missed Part I, be sure and knock that one out!

Desert Island Movies, Part 1
For this episode of Cinemavino, we talk movies, and which ones we would take to the desert island with us. It was such a big convo, we ended up splitting it up in two parts. So kick back, and enjoy another fine episode of our podcast!

2020 Oscar Predictions
For this episode of Cinemavino, we talk about the Oscar noms. Once again, the Academy got a buncha picks right, and whole buttload of ’em wrong, too. Having seen all the Best Picture films already, I’ve got some strong opinions. Damn it,

1917 (2019) *Chilean red*
1917 hits like a ton of bricks. It’s a huge achievement and a hell of movie. I’ll go ahead and predict it for a Best Picture win at the Oscars. For this mini-episode of Cinemavino, we discuss 1917–spoiler-free–and breakdown the new trailers for Morb...

2020 Movie Preview
We’ve scanned the movie schedule for 2020, and it truly looks like the best of times and the blurst of times. Lots of sequels, prequels, remakes, rehashes, reboots, and screwups. Still, look carefully and you’ll find some good with the bad and ugly.

Matchups, Part Deux (Classic French Wines)
As kids, most of us loved pitting random action figures against each other. Superman vs. He-Man, who would win? (I mean, Superman, duh…) For this episode of Cinemavino, we play Matchups with some powerful pop culture figures and put it to a vote.

Die Hard, The Mandalorian Season 1 Finale (Riesling)
For this episode of Cinemavino, Sean Jordan joins us to watch and discuss Die Hard. We drink a little German Riesling in honor of Hans Gruber, and take a shot of Jaegermeister. Blech. For the opening of the Todd-cast,

For this week’s episode of Cinemavino, Sean Jordan joins us as we drink some delicious red wine and discuss Chapter Five of The Mandalorian. Also on the table: The new Ghostbusters trailer just dropped, and Harrison Ford’s thoughts on continuing the ...

The Mandalorian (Episode 4)
New Cinemavino is live! This week, The Mandalorian delivered what many are calling a “filler episode.” As the midpoint episode, it really didn’t do a whole lot to move the plot forward. Hopefully the series will regain a little momentum with next we...

The Mandalorian (Episodes 2 & 3)
As a Space Western, The Mandalorian gets stronger as it goes along. The action scenes are killer, and it has attitude and atmosphere to spare. This feels like the breath of fresh air Star Wars has needed for a good long while. -

The Mandalorian (Episode 1)
*SPOILERS ABOUND* Disney continues expanding the Star Wars Universe at a rapid pace. The Mandalorian debuted on Disney+ last week, and its release has garnered generally positive reactions. For this week’s Cinemavino,

All Things Star Wars
I gotta admit, the trailers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker look pretty awesome. Still, ain’t nobody nowhere that thinks this is it for the franchise. Disney will crank out spinoffs, one-offs, and sequels for years to come.
