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 156 - Midnight Run (1988)
We have reached the end of our Martin Brest series! Join Rob, Zack, and Ben as they discuss Brest's second action-comedy film and see how it compares to "Beverly Hills Cop". Is this movie any better than an absolute zero? Are people having sex with chickens? What does Rob think about "Scent of a Woman" and "Meet Joe Black"? Tune in to find out!

Episode 155 - Beverly Hills Cop (1984)
It's the Martin Brest series, so we are pretty much obligated to cover his biggest movie! Considered an American classic of Eddie Murphy's, of the action-comedy genre, and of the overall 1980's, Cinemoddities is finally here to explain why it is possibly one of the worst films ever put together. Join Rob and Ben as they explain their disdain for this film!

Episode 154 - Going in Style (1979)
We're diving deeper into the Martin Brest filmography with a movie that is more accessible than last week's, but just by a slight amount (somewhere around a microprobability). What view of the elderly does this movie take? How does Zach Braff's remake live up to this great movie? Why does this film remind Rob of Get Him to the Greek? Listen in to find out!

Episode 153 - Hot Tomorrows (1977)
Finally, we're getting to more Martin Brest movies! And what's better than discussing them for an entire month! Rob sure is excited, especially because we are starting with Brest's directorial debut, a film that is nearly impossible to watch. There's talk of death, there's talk of "Gigli", there's the Mystic Knights of Oingo Boingo, and so much more.
Even if you can't watch this movie, we highly recommend checking out the musical numbers that we gush over in our discussion. The Mystic Knights of Oingo Boingo performing "St. James Infirmary" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w5f-gA9qok - and the closing musical number of "42nd Street" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0UPopFGTgs

Episode 152 - Dredd (2012)
We've come to the end of our January series on what Zack considers to be movies that should have changed the world, with one that Rob actually disagrees with. It's a movie they've wanted to discuss for a while, but such a talk leads to a lot of disagreement. You know what else, Ben is Zack's side for the first time! Listen in to hear Rob's problems with a movie that he finds incredibly fun to watch, why Zack & Cabbage disagree with him, and for some crazy reason we end up discussing Brad Bird.

Episode 151 - Speed Racer (2008)
Holy fish, it's finally happening! The film that should have changed the world, altered geography, and overthrown governments, it is Speed Racer! Tune in to our discussion to learn why Rob, Ben, and Zack are now prisoners of PETA, the narrative importance of this film, the philosophical grandiosity of this work, and pretty colors. You know it's a good episode when everyone loves the movie but still argue over it!

Welcome to our episode about Tron: Legacy and kind of the original Tron! Yeah? One of Zack's favorite franchises is finally covered on the podcast, while Rob & Ben are along for the ride. Yeah? But which of these movies is better, the original or the sequel? Or even the documentary about the original Tron, which is also in the running? Yeah?
