Cinema Clash

On this edition of the Cinema Clash: Charlie rips into a tale as old as time, aka BEAUTY AND THE BEAST; Hannah flies solo on a British drama THE SENSE OF AN ENDING; Kristin Stewart is a not-so-happy medium in the divisive, cerebral ghost story PERSONAL SHOPPER; Two guys share an awkward day reliving their youth in the indie film for dudes, DONALD CRIED; and prepare to be outraged over the actions of Herbalife in the new documentary, BETTING ON ZERO.

On this edition of the Cinema Clash: An epic monster movie that’s thin on story but big on spectacle; a love triangle wrapped in a weak war drama set in the Ottoman Empire; Shirley MacLaine gets the The Last Word in a film that Charlie detests and Hannah struggles to defend; a Chilean poet-turned-politician gets the fictionalized biopic treatment; and not one, not two, but three French films for the cinephilic Francophile (aka Charlie). Ooh-la-la! Let the Clash begin!

On this edition of the Cinema Clash: A grim final farewell to Logan; Table19 serves up some lukewarm wedding comedy; BeforeIFall aims for the YA crowd; LandOfMine wins Charlie’s vote for best foreign language film; MyLifeAsAZucchini offers up a smart, animated tale about orphans (not veggies); and Hannah mixes up her mammals. 

On this edition of the Cinema Clash: The best movie of 2017 so far. You’ll want to Get Out and see it! Plus: the (pooper) scoop on the Chinese-American computer-animated comedy Rock Dog; the philosophical underpinnings of Kedi, a documentary about cats in Istanbul; the bitter truth about Bitter Harvest; a mockumentary drama about a struggling comedian looking for his big break in Punching Henry; a preview of the Oscars; and beer. Let the clash begin!

On this edition of the Cinema Clash: Charlie and Hannah discuss why The Great Wall would be worse than mediocre without the star power of Matt Damon; and Charlie applauds the “originality” of a ridiculously long psychological thriller that Hannah would rather forget.

A week of new movies full of sequels. Charlie and Hannah debate The LEGO Batman Movie, Fifty Shades Darker, a John Wick Chapter 2, and offer a round-up of the 15 Oscar nominated short films; our favorites and what we think we will. And oh yeah, the most spot-on wine choice in the history of the podcast!
