Cinemoddities Late Night Movies With Rob & Zack

Episode 236 - Ghost in the Shell (2017)   Let's jump into controversial remakes/reboots/re-imaginings with the 2017 white-washing that is the Hollywood version of "Ghost in the Shell"!  Join Rob and Ben as they discuss a film that is more remembered for its Internet discourse rather than the adaptation it is.  But does the casting deserve the backlash it received, at least for what it received it for?  What does this movie have to do with hoopla?  Why is Ben selling hats in batches of four or six?  Listen in to find out!   Support the podcast and get access to many more episodes by subscribing to the Cinemoddities patreon at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    We give consent to be contacted through email!  Harass us at Cinemoddities@gmail.com   Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song!  Follow this link to hear more music from them: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mPues3Rp2wCKYzXOTDNP9?si=7XONs7MQT4uzU5TqnY2tsQ 

Episode 235 - Death Race (2008)   What a shock, another Jason Statham movie?!  Well, Rob & Ben couldn't quite shake their desire to talk more about this underrated actor, and are using him as a tie-in to the new series they're covering!  Welcome to the Remakes Series, where Cinemoddities will be covering four movies that are remakes/reboots/reimaginings/requels/rebootprequels of films that they've talked about previously!  But how does Paul W.S. Anderson stack up to Paul Bartel?  Why is this series going to be a back door into Ben's director fan clubs?  What's the disparity between Prison Prison Prison and Prison?  Who exactly defecates on the sidewalk?  Listen in to find out!   Support the podcast and get access to many more episodes, including even more Jason Statham movies, by subscribing to the Cinemoddities patreon at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    Do you know who takes a poop on the sidewalk?  Let us know by harassing us at Cinemoddities@gmail.com   Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providi

Episode 234 - Revolver (2005)   After the smash successes of his first two films, followed up by mass audiences immensely disliking the Madonna vanity project of "Swept Away", Guy Ritchie decides to return to his roots by getting his good buddy Jason Statham to grow some hair and star in a convoluted, pretentious psychological crime thriller, "Revolver"!  Join Rob & Ben as they finish up their focus on Statham with this doozy of a movie.  But why is this one of Rob's favorite movies ever?  What other convoluted, pretentious film that Rob loves is similar to this one?  Why do we not yet have a twelve dollar bill?  How can it be true that this movie is all about waffles?  Listen in to find out!   Support the podcast and get access to many more episodes, including even more Jason Statham movies, by subscribing to the Cinemoddities patreon at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    The only way to get goofier is to email goofier people!  Harass us at Cinemoddities@gmail.com   Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for

Episode 233 - Snatch (2000)   You thought Rob & Ben were done with Jason Statham?  Never!  Especially not when we haven't gotten to any of his movies that involve Guy Ritchie!  But how do Statham's acting chops hold up in his pre-action man era?  Why are Vinnie Jones and Dennis Farina so much fun to watch?  Why did critics think this and "Lock, Stock, Etc." are the same movie?  Listen in to find out!   Support the podcast and get access to many more episodes, including even more Jason Statham movies, by subscribing to the Cinemoddities patreon at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    You hear that, Doug?  I'm harassing Rob & Ben by emailing us through Cinemoddities@gmail.com   Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song!  Follow this link to hear more music from them: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mPues3Rp2wCKYzXOTDNP9?si=7XONs7MQT4uzU5TqnY2tsQ 

Episode 232 - The Mechanic (2011) & Mechanic: Resurrection   Rob and Ben are back to Jason Statham with one of his action-man franchises, "The Mechanic"!  It turns out that this is a reboot of a Charles Bronson movie of the same name, which gets some time in the discussion too.  But how does Statham's action career stack up to others of the modern era?  Is it a double, triple, or reverse switcharoonie?  What is this place and do we already know what it is?  Listen in to find out!   Support the podcast and get access to many more episodes, including even more Jason Statham movies, by subscribing to the Cinemoddities patreon at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    Have any info on another entry in The Mechanic franchise?  Harass us by emailing us through Cinemoddities@gmail.com   Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song!  Follow this link to hear more music from them: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mPues3Rp2wCKYzXOTDNP9?si=7XONs7MQT4uzU5TqnY2tsQ

Episode 230 - Crank (2006)   It's been a while since we covered an actor, but we're deciding to focus in on another action hero of the modern era, Jason Statham!  Rob and Ben begin with "Crank" and a lengthy discussion of Statham's career.  But how does Statham compare to The Rock?  Is this movie very smart or very stupid?  Are we all just salmon?  Listen in to find out!   Support the podcast and get access to many more episodes, including even more Jason Statham movies, by subscribing to the Cinemoddities patreon at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    Have a take on the satirical nature of "Crank"?  Harass us by emailing us through Cinemoddities@gmail.com   Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song!  Follow this link to hear more music from them: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mPues3Rp2wCKYzXOTDNP9?si=7XONs7MQT4uzU5TqnY2tsQ

Episode 228 - Men in Black 2 (2002)   Many months ago, Rob & Zack discussed the first and third entries in the "Men in Black" series, and now it's finally time to finish up the much maligned middle child of the franchise!  Join them as they discuss if this movie really deserves all the hate it regularly receives.  But what are their thoughts about Will Smith's slap at the 2022 Oscars ceremony?  How crazy were the cameos in this movie for 2002?  Does Michael Jackson ever get to become Agent M?  Listen in to find out!   Support the podcast and get access to many more episodes by subscribing to the Cinemoddities patreon at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    Want to go to Cambodia and get a lobster dinner for more than a dollar?  Harass us by emailing us through Cinemoddities@gmail.com   Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song!  Follow this link to hear more music from them: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mPues3Rp2wCKYzXOTDNP9?si=7XONs7MQT4uzU5TqnY2tsQ 

Episode 227 - Miss March (2009)   Join Ben & Rob as they finish up some filmographies that they've previously started, and what better way to kick it off than with "Miss March"!  Being Zach Cregger's only directorial effort before "Barbarian", it certainly is an incredibly different movie.  But does it stand the test of time?  Why was Playboy involved in this movie?  Were Hugh Hefner and Trevor Moore in the same room at the same time?  Listen in to find out!   Support the podcast and get access to many more episodes, including one on "Barbarian", by subscribing to the Cinemoddities patreon at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    Download Ben's Life Counter app for Magic: The Gathering, now free, on the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zianderthalapps.life_counter) or the Apple store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zianderthal-tcg-life-counter/id1555106877), and be sure to shop at TCGplayer using Ben's affiliate link: bit.ly/TheLifeCounter    Feel like its stupid to hate strobe ligh

Episode 226 - Girl on the Third Floor (2019)   In the very end of this year's spooky Halloween season, join Rob & Ben as they dive into a fairly obscure yet absolutely nasty horror movie, "Girl on the Third Floor"!  But why is this movie so obsessed with bodily fluids of all kinds?  Does CM Punk give a good performance?  Does Sarah look like an egret?  Listen in to find out!   Support the podcast and get access to many more episodes by subscribing to the Cinemoddities patreon at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    Download Ben's Life Counter app for Magic: The Gathering, now free, on the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zianderthalapps.life_counter) or the Apple store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zianderthal-tcg-life-counter/id1555106877), and be sure to shop at TCGplayer using Ben's affiliate link: bit.ly/TheLifeCounter    Why is Ben so mean to Rob and calling him a sloth?  Harass Rob too by emailing us through Cinemoddities@gmail.com   Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for

Episode 223 - Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)   A movie whose cult classic status has seemingly had a resurgence for no good reason, it's the Chiodo brothers "Killer Klowns from Outer Space"!  Join Rob & Zack as they dive into some of the reasons why this movie could be making a comeback all of a sudden.  Does it have to do with the sheer force of will from marketing?  Does it have something to do with the clown sightings of the mid-2010's?  Does it have to do with how many doors there are?  Listen in to find out!   Support the podcast and get access to many more episodes by subscribing to the Cinemoddities patreon at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    Harass us by emailing us through Cinemoddities@gmail.com   Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song!  Follow this link to hear more music from them: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mPues3Rp2wCKYzXOTDNP9?si=7XONs7MQT4uzU5TqnY2tsQ 

Episode 220 - Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)   Something we've talked about flippantly many times in the past, we're finally focusing on the Twilight Zone film and all of the behind-scenes-drama of it!  Join Rob, Zack, and Chris as they get into the gritty details of a truly horrible tragedy that happened during the filming of this movie, as well as a little bit of the movie itself.  How at fault are John Landis and Frank Marshall?  Is it possible to not understand the message of the Spielberg segment?  What's being served on the Cinemoddities Airline?  Listen in to find out!   Support the podcast and get access to many more episodes by subscribing to the Cinemoddities patreon at www.patreon.com/Cinemoddities    Check out Chris on instagram through @thechrisporteous and the Knights of Vader instagram through @KoVPodcast   Harass us by emailing us through Cinemoddities@gmail.com   Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song!  Follow this link to hear more music from them: https://open.sp

What better way to continue the dive that Rob & Ben are taking into the universe of adult animation than with one of the seminal projects of the art form?  Before "The Matrix", before "Star Wars" even began to understand what sentience of droids even implied, before Hayao Miyazaki even knew how important his work at Studio Ghibli was, the human species was given what Rob describes as the "California Roll" of anime.  The sole inspiration for Toonami and the reason anime became something known in North America, and likely the rest of the world, it's quite possibly the objectively best animated film of all time: 1995's "Ghost in the Shell".   Want to hear more from Rob & Ben?  Well their love for animation doesn't stop at these episodes, they carry over to the Cinemoddities patreon where one episode a month is dedicated to covering every single episode of "Adventure Time" in order!  Other than that, we cover fan requests for people who join that tier of patronage!  Get in on that gang straight through ww
