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 140 - A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985)
It's the start of FansGiving, but the soft ending to Monstober, as Rob, Zack, & Ben are discussing something that could have fit into last month's series! Is this movie truly a homoerotic thriller or has that title been grafted to it? What does this movie mean for Mark Patton? Are cast-iron skillets appropriate to cook eggs in? A new month, but the same tangents for Cinemoddities. Listen in and enjoy!

Episode 139 - The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror I-V (1990-1994)
It's the final week of Monstober 2020! What better way to end this month of pinballing topics than with a discussion of the closest thing we've had to sketch comedy since 2019? Listen in as Rob & Zack discuss The Simpsons of new and old, with plenty of clips to keep that attention span going. In the restaurant segment we give you a hardcore look into the psyche of Rob & Zack under the filter of donuts. What major donut chain does Rob SINCERELY hate? How far off the rails can we go? Listen in to find out! Happy Monstober to everyone!

Episode 138 - An American Werewolf in London (1981)
When do we get to Monstober? This is Monstober! And baby, you bring out the beast in me. Zack pulls out another great one this week because not only is it an interesting movie to discuss, but he gives Rob the chance to talk about manslaughter. And while there is a lot of man's laughter in this episode, Rob gets hung up on John Landis killing children. Don't know what that means? Then listen to find out!

Episode 137 - Seconds (1966)
What better way to enjoy the true second week of Monstober than with a movie called "Seconds"? Zack's taking us way back in time for this one in order to get Rob to actually think about a movie. Little does Zack know, Rob wants to spend time talking about Maria Menounos, whether or not babies really want to be born, used cows, and being the queen of wine. All in all, this is an obscure movie deserving of attention.

Episode 136 - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
It's time for Monstober, and Zack's back! Right before all of the turnstile nonsense you might have heard in September, this is the first time Rob & Zack have recorded in months! Rob is excited, way too excited, so much so that Zack has to burn his co-host's face off with the battery acid spritz bottle but even that doesn't stop the constant interruptions! Tune in to hear how they are in true form, haven't missed a beat, and are totally split. There's a lot of Buckethead in this one since Rob now has editing powers! And...boobies!

Episode 134 - Southland Tales (Cannes Cut, 2006)
We are finishing up our series on The Rock with a movie where he might not set anything straight! There's a lot of thoughts about this one, for sure! Rob & Ben try to have a real discussion while Justin constantly reminds them that he does not like this movie (do you get that? He really wants to make sure you know). What are our thoughts on teen horniness? Why hasn't Richard Kelly had a better career? Should we contact an oceanography disaster specialist or an astrophysicist when trying to figure out what this movie is about? Find out within!

Episode 133 - The Rundown (2003)
We're continuing on with The Rock this week, and he's joined by a star-studded cast at the start of his career! Is this the most immature movie we've ever covered? Join Rob & Ben as they take an in-depth look into the currently under-studied species of the whip-people, learn about porcini mushrooms, and talk way too much about an ancient analog safe. Plus, the 2012 classic "Battleship" gets the floor for a bit - how could anyone skip this episode?

Episode 132 - Tenet (2020)
On a very special episode of Cinemoddities, it's Rob & Zack (yes, actually Zack this time) discussing a new movie! What do the OG hosts of Cinemoddities think about Christopher Nolan? How does this movie hold up against reality? What the hell is the intent behind this movie? Why is Elizabeth Debicki so tall but not smoking cigarettes? Not only is Rob ecstatic to have a discussion with Zack again, but look forward to thoughts from Justin and Heather as well! RIP to everyone involved, we are all sick/dead from Covid after entering a public space.

Episode 131 - Walking Tall (2004)
Can you smell what The Rock is cooking? We sure can, but it's not breakfast. We're breaking form and starting a new series a week early, as we are hoping to have a special episode in September! In this episode, Rob & Ben dive into The Rock's career, as well as some of Johnny Knoxville's, and also the Walking Tall franchise (there are seven films!). How does it feel to treat me like you do? Who is the Exotic Beauty? Can Rob count to potato? Find out within!
