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 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!

Episode 165 - Freddy Got Fingered (2001)
After a little over three years, Cinemoddities is finally covering the movie from another dimension, Tom Green's "Freddy Got Fingered". Any listener will tell you that this certainly fits the definition of a cinemoddity, but how important is this film to Rob & Zack? Would this podcast exist without it? Will there ever be another movie like this? Will we make our daddy proud? Would our daddy like some sausage? Can a banana get a job as a telephone repairman? How many Deutsche Marks did this episode cost us? What do we hear when you say Geneva? Do you hear the funny sound? It's one for the ages!

Episode 164 - Josie and the Pussycats (2001)
A personal favorite of ours and a criminally underrated film, it's Josie and the Pussycats! Finally, Rob and Zack get to talk about Riverdale, subliminal messaging, Tara Reid, an epic confrontation between Meatloaf & Gary Busey, and coasters! But will they join the navy? Did they win a car? What's so special about a Mojave phone booth? Find out in this episode!

Episode 162 - Spy Kids (2001)
It's time for nostalgia from our childhood with our first kids' movie of the 2001 Fortyear! But is there something more to this movie than just remembering it fondly? What role does Alan Cumming play in Macbeth? Was Carla Gugino a hero? How strange are Robert Rodriguez and his career? Are you a foogly? Listen in for all this and more!

Episode 161 - Memento (2001)
Have we discussed this episode before? We can't remember. What we can remember, though, is Sammy Jankis. Join Rob & Ben as they talk about Christopher Nolan's first real movie, The Duke, The Mandarin, how much trust people put in stories, and too much tuna. How does this compare to Nolan's later movies? Is this movie the Calculus of modern cinema? Do we remember Sammy Jankis? Tune in to find out!

Another year, another celebration of a Cinemoddities anniversary! It's been three whole years, and what better way to reflect on our time together than with a doozy of a bonus episode. There're corrections, fan emails, shout outs, another filmography ranking from Rob, objectification of celebrities, and statistics! Rob gives Zack and Ben their performance reviews, and the "Tales from the Cinemoddities Restaurant" anthology film is finally fleshed out! Thank you to all of our fans for listening to (and hopefully enjoying) Cinemoddities!

Episode 160 - Monkeybone (2001)
It's finally here, one of Rob's favorite movies and the start of the Henry Selick series (which will conclude after the rest of Zack's 2001 fortyear)! Monkeybone is criminally misunderstood, and no one, including Ben & Zack, is ready for the takes Rob has about this movie. Tune in to hear an explanation of Henry Selick's career, The Church of the Subgenius, and the deep meaning underlying a film that was derided at the time of its release. Whether you are a Pink or the descendant of a Yeti, it's a discussion for the ages that is sure to help you on your way to achieving Slack!
