This is a podcast about cinematic oddities, where we discuss any media that is too bizarre, abnormal or off-kilter for contemporary audiences. Occasionally these projects gel, most times they crash, hard into the realm of obscurity. Join us as we delve into the cult classics swamp!

Episode 173 - Pootie Tang (2001)
Is this the worst title for a movie we've ever covered? Maybe...but this movie is incredible beyond belief. As far as we're concerned, this is one of the most important episodes concerning sociology, culturollogy, and opinionollogy, which may or may not include endocrinology.
Regardless of your thoughts on Ben's opinions, know that his Magic: The Gathering Life Counter app is objectively awesome, and get it from the apple store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zianderthal-tcg-life-counter/id1555106877 or the play store here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zianderthalapps.life_counter

Episode 171 - The Fast and The Furious (2001)
We crank up the Nos in this episode to discuss the start of a major franchise that couldn't be any more different from what these movies have become! Rob, Zack, and Ben are joined by special guest L'juan to dig into some angry cars. Why is Rob so hung up on 1991's "Point Break"? Is everyone watching their back? Who's going to make the popcorn? What are the race wars? The answer to these and more are found within!

Episode 170 - Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) & Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life (2003)
As we go through the films of 2001, we finally hit the one based on a video game franchise! This is the comprehensive discussion on the Tomb Raider movies - not only are we talking about the Angelina Jolie films, but also the related adult content and the 2018 reboot. But what important details did we miss in an earlier episode in this series? What is going on in front of Rob's apartment? What type of puzzle is it? Find out in this episode!

Episode 169 - Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)
As much as Disney didn't want us to, we've found it, the lost city of Atlantis! Good old 2-D animation lets us talk about the medium as a whole, its perception in North America compared to the rest of the world, and different ways to approach the artistic process. But was Atlantis real? What does it have to do with Gary Busey? Was it inhabited by chupacabras? Why isn't Kathleen Turner in this movie? Less yappin, more crackin!

Episode 168 - Pearl Harbor (2001)
Vroom vroom, it's time to discuss a movie that's way too long and melodramatic! And who better to do so than Rob & Zack, the only two human beings in existence that do not have screen time in Michael Bay's "Pearl Harbor". But when is Ben Affleck's birthday? Why do actors choose to stutter in movies? What's the importance of Romeo and Juliet laws? Were there any civilian casualties on the mainland US during World War 2? Will Rob & Zack ever recover from this movie or is this the end of Cinemoddities? Listen in to find out!

Episode 167 - Shrek (2001)
It had to happen as we go through the films of 2001, it's time to discuss "Shrek". At least it gives Rob, Zack, and Ben a chance to talk about their feelings on this film and its massive cultural impact. But does anyone truly like this movie? Is it seen as a jab at Disney? Why do people defend emotional manipulation in storytelling? Why does Sylvain Chomet keep losing Oscars to Pixar? Why is Shrek hot? There's an ogre-abundance of topics in this episode!

Episode 166 - The Mummy (1999) & The Mummy Returns (2001)
Anck-Su-Namun? This episode has everything! Mummies being shown to you, references to near-forgotten electronics stores, and lady fights! But what makes this franchise work so well? Is the main character Rick O'Connell or Rick Ocasek? Are Rob & Zack fans of the clap? No harm has ever come from listening to a podcast, so listen in!
