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 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 163 - Suck & Blow
Welcome to another episode of Cinemoddities that is fine...just fine.

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!

Episode 159 - Saving Silverman (2001)
It's the bottom slice of bread on our Hannibal sandwich, another raunchy comedy from twenty years ago! Rob and Ben take issue with this movie while Zack unabashedly expresses his love for it. Thankfully, the philosophical concept of comedy comes up and saves us from having to discuss too much of this film. Did Amanda Peet chained to a chair break Rob's mind? Why is the early 2000's so good at using new music but so bad at covering classics? How has absurdity changed in the last twenty years? All this and more in this episode!

Episode 158 - The Silence of the Lambs & Hannibal
The meat in our Hannibal sandwich is being garnished by one of the most influential movies of all time! Join Rob & Zack as they immerse themselves into the Hannibal Lecter franchise. Which movie is better: The Silence of the Lambs or Hannibal? Should Ray Liotta be feared? Will we put the lotion in the basket? How can you live as a healthy cannibal? Who are the recipients of MTV's Lifetime Achievement awards? How can we train boars to eat people that feel no fear? There is so much in this episode and you need to tune in for (most of) the answers!

Episode 157 - Sugar & Spice (2001)
The 2001 Fortyear is here! For most of 2021, we'll be covering movies that were released between January and August of 2001. And what better way to start than with a movie that doesn't exist? Ben, Rob, and Zack grasp at straws to discuss this product but are constantly sidetracked by the smallest things. There's talk of Matter Anorld, John Mayer, Marilyn Manson, how every movie in existence is a Christmas movie, and much more.
