Start your year off with a couple of buddy movies that both released EIGHTEEN MONTHS AGO on June 17, 2016: CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE and THE LAST KING. The former starring current box office champs from the new JUMANJI film, DWAYNE JOHNSON and KEVIN HART, and the latter starring skiing enthusiasts from Norway. And while the American action comedy was already held in high esteem from your hosts, revisiting this weekend in film forces the hosts to make some discoveries about their own hopes, dreams, and desires... mainly skiing.   Facebook / Instagram / Twitter : @sobercinema

Guest Andrew of AB Film Review & The Last New Wave joins the podcast to experience first contact multiple times as we continue to feature favorite films from our guests. On this episode we learn that ANOTHER EARTH does not earn that distinction from our Australian friend, but he shares a passion for Steven Spielberg's CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, which celebrated a 40th anniversary re-release this year. Along the way we also make time to question the existence of God when Jake Busey exists, which is the main takeaway from the Robert Zemeckis adaptation of Carl Sagan's CONTACT... right?

For our holiday special we get the MARK AS PLAYED family together to spend time away from their families. Which is a totally normal thing for movie podcasters, but also makes more sense as our subject for our first Christmas episode on Christmas movies that remove the family from the characters' lives. Our main focus is EYES WIDE SHUT but as usual with a Stanley Kubrick film, HOME ALONE will and Frank Capra's IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE will inevitably come up (if I had a nickel for every time that the Sticky Bandits were brought up in a FULL METAL JACKET discussion). More importantly we recommend two more great podcasts in  THE FLICKS PODCAST  and  THE BROKEN BRAIN . Our gift to you, along with this episode. Happy holidays!

On this episode we repeat Christmas movies, and not just A CHRISTMAS STORY, as your hosts look back at the films that have aged gracefully over many a holiday season and those that look like Billy Bob in BAD SANTA. Also we attempt to figure out just what those damn kids are into when it comes to what Freeform is playing for the holidays, and if it's time to just give up and move to Pottersville. Happy holidays from three Scrooges and with that... please subscribe to this podcast. It's a gift for both of us. Facebook / Instagram / Twitter : @sobercinema

Take a podcast holiday with us as we provide you with the fantasies of Nancy Meyers as lived out by Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet in THE HOLIDAY. Guest  Natasha   of   The Rad Ass Bitches   joins the show to debate if Meyers can pull off a more grounded love affair with Jack Black or if she needs the extremely handsome crutch   of Jude Law to make her romantic plot take off. When your host Mike can get co-host Dave to shut up long enough about the charms of Mr. Law we also get into a hot or not with screen legend Eli Wallach, if Meyers is able to do for staircases what she has done for cinematic kitchens, and how to not cancel a sushi date.

Look ahead to the great beyond of 2018 with the Netflix documentary JIM & ANDY: THE GREAT BEYOND... and also this latest episode of PROJECTING FILM. If you do, you will hear us talk about not only the darkness of Jim Carrey going full method for his portrayal of Andy Kaufman in MAN ON THE MOON, but also your hosts Chris and Mike competing on who can bring the darkest film to the table. In THE PLEDGE, Jack Nicholson commits his life to finding a child killer, while in GRIZZLY MAN Timothy Treadwell goes to his death living with and "protecting" bears in the wild. Clearly our commitment to comedy is unquestioned with these choices, and we hope you don't question your commitment to subscribing to this podcast.

Hungover from Christmas? Well we have two movies that feel like a hangover (and not THE HANGOVER which one of these films hoped for) in our latest offering during the holiday season. On December 9, 2016 two films focusing on the combustible combination of comedy and careers arrived like a lump of coal: OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY got a wide release and achieved modest box office success, while THE COMEDIAN starring Robert De Niro premiered in limited release in pursuit of Oscar glory. It is not a spoiler to say that neither film presented on this podcast won any Academy Awards. Which puts these films in the appropriate company of your hosts of SOBER CINEMA! Enjoy(ish).

On this episode we skip the New Year's resolutions because your hosts Dave and Mike are self-aware enough (just enough) to know that they can't and won't tolerate any self-improvement. Thankfully we have a guest who is actually a decent person in  JESSI LAUREN  of  SEARCH TO FIND YOU  to help provide some insight on the particular cold shower of growing up that Joseph Gordon Levitt finds himself taking in LOOPER. An older version of himself played by Bruce Willis travels back in time on a mission to do some very bad things to save the woman he loves, and to do that he must woo his past self to step aside in what will probably be our strangest meet cute ever presented on this show. Enjoy this episode from the comfort of your home and not the gym as we move into 2018!

For Christmas we treat ourselves and our listeners to a debate on the charms of the very handsome CARY GRANT and DENZEL WASHINGTON as these two silver screen angels battle it out in our episode on THE BISHOP'S WIFE and THE PREACHER'S WIFE!

Some may think its a little too quick to revisit Christmas Eve, as it was two days ago. But we think even more of you would agree that it's too soon to revisit CHRISTMAS EVE the film from TWO YEARS AGO. Fortunately this little seen (with good reason) holiday movie was released alongside KRAMPUS on December 4th, 2015, so we hope Santa had your hosts Jared, Mike, and Josh on the nice list back then as we really want a good movie to be featured on this podcast. Come get trapped with us this Christmas and we'll all find out together! Facebook / Instagram / Twitter : @sobercinema
