Mean Guns (1997)

It’s the moment Travis has been waiting for!  That’s right–this week, we review Mean Guns!  It’s a terrible movie, but strangely entertaining.  This results in one of our funniest discussions yet. To pair with this low-grade action flick, we drink a fancy wine:  Cahors is a fine region in France, and they have some lovely Malbecs…

Bull Durham (Vinho Verde)

We’re heading out the ballgame!  This week’s Cinemavino kicks off our six-week series of baseball movies.  Episode one is at the top of my all-time favorites:  Bull Durham.  It was a modest hit when it came out, but Ron Shelton’s rom-com has slowly gained steam as one the best baseball flicks ever. We pair this cult classic…

A Morbius Mini-Episode

For this mini-installment, Travis and I give our thoughts on Marvel’s latest villain-centric flick, Morbius.  We have moderately different opinions on the subject.  This episode is pretty much spoiler-free, so you should be safe if you haven’t seen it yet. To read my full review, click here!

Zodiac (2007)

Tonight’s Cinemavino continues our look at all-time Oscar snubs.  For part three, we tackle a David Fincher classic–Zodiac.  It’s engrossing, intelligent true crime epic, centered on the hunt for one of our country’s most famous serial killers.  An all-star cast delivers incredible performances, and Fincher creates an atmosphere of genuine suspense, despite this being based on…

Rounders (1998)

Tonight’s episode of Cinemavino continues our series on the best films to be completely snubbed by the Oscars.  Rounders survived so-so reviews and box office to endure as an all-time cult classic.  At the very least, John Malkovich should’ve snagged a nomination for Best Supporting Actor.  His work here is scene stealing and tremendous. To pair…

The Batman (2022)

Tonight, Sean and I take a look at one of the biggest releases of the year:  Matt Reeves’ reboot of The Batman.  We have slightly different opinions of the finished product.  This podcast is mostly spoiler-free, but the last few minutes *might* contain a few mild plot hints.  Don’t worry–we’ll give you a heads up before…

An Overserved Oscar Preview for 2022

Fair warning:  This episode goes heavy on the vino.  We indulged in a few too many glasses before we sat down for this Oscar preview, and things get a little goofy.  I’ll be honest, this one was a challenge to edit.  Still, we do breakdown the Oscar favorites, as best we can.

City of Angels (1998)

We conclude our Valentine’s Day/Date Movie series with City of Angels.  It’s definitely the oddest and most cerebral of this month’s offerings.  On the plus side, it does have a bitchin’ soundtrack, with lots of killer 90s vibes. For vino, we tried the sparkling Vouvray, from Champalou.  Vouvray is Chenin Blanc, and this one has all…
