    Time Warp: 1994 - 30 Years Ago! CINEMA CRAPTACULUS

    Steph, John & Dave dive into the past! This year is the 30th anniversary of the movies from… well if you’re doing the math at home or read the podcast title… 1994 – and we’ve chosen 5 of the biggest movies from that year to talk about their impact 30 years later. Talk to the hand if you don’t think it’s fly and all that, home skillet!! As if!   

    It’s 1994 you’re going through the newspaper, wondering what movie to see Friday night. You’ve got THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, a prison film that could make even a hardened criminal weep and long for the magic of friendship;  PULP FICTION, which would not just change movie storytelling, but would raise the bar on soundtracks, INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE – Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise camping it up as vamps! “And they were ROOMMATES!”… THE CROW, the tragic last film of Brandon Lee as well as the blueprint for every emo story afterwards; and FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL, the multi-cast comedy that led us to Love Actually! Booooo!  So check us out because we’re gonna Be Kind and Rewind this baby back to 1994!

    Maestro & All That Jazz PEOPLE ALSO WATCHED

    Cinema Craptaculus presents: People Also Watched

    Tara, Adam & Dave dive into an awards frenzy double feature with MAESTRO and a movie people also watched, the 70’s classic ALL THAT JAZZ

    First up, it's the Netflix Original that could be called “OSCAR BID”! This limited theatrical release spent a month in theaters before moving to the Netflix Mothership! Directed by Bradley Cooper, and starring Bradley Cooper and Carey Mulligan, on its limited release Maestro made about ½ million dollars at the box office. But it has won an award already as one of AFI’s Movies of the Year.

    Plus a movie that PEOPLE ALSO WATCHED…We’re going from a bio-pic featuring a troubled, creative genius to a semi-autobio-pic featuring a troubled, creative genius with a movie that people also watched – ALL THAT JAZZ! This classic was released on December 20, 1979 – exactly 24 years prior to Maestro landing on Netflix. Starring Roy Scheider, Jessica Lange and Ben Vereen, ALL THAT JAZZ was directed by Bob Fosse and made just over 37 million dollars at the box office. (PERSON) what’s your logline for this movie?

    Family Switch CINEMA CRAPTACULUS

    This holiday season, Steph, Dave & John switch it up for Christmas! What happens when you cross Freaky Friday with Like Father Like Son and throw in Christmas just for shits and giggles. And don’t forget an extra helping of McG directing and you get the Netflix original - the simply titled FAMILY SWITCH!

    FAMILY SWITCH is about the Walker Family as they switch bodies. The mother switches with the daughter, the son switches with the dad and the baby switches with the family dog! And it happens on the night before one of the most important days of everyone’s life – The mom (Jennifer Garner) is supposed to give a big pitch to a big client with a promotion on the line! The Daughter (Emma Myers) is supposed to play in the big soccer tournament with a scholarship on the line! The son (Brady Noon) is meeting with Yale to see if he can get into college a year or two before he graduates! And the Dad (Ed Helms) is going to play the..I don’t know…Christmas Festival? Or something for a chance to be on America’s Got Talent, I think? So the stage is set, the stakes are hight and, oh, did we mention it’s a Christmas movie as well? It’s FAMILY SWITCH!
