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 194 - Jon Watts' Spider-Man MCU Movies - Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)
Getting to more movies from the Marvel cinematic universe was inevitable, and Zack just knew he'd be able to wrangle Rob into it eventually. Listen in on them and Ben discussing the state of the MCU, what we find interesting and uninteresting about these movies, and some editing blips because Thanos snapped Rob's audio out of existence at a few moments.
At a point in this episode, Ben thinks a character from "The Amazing Spider-Man" from last week looks very similar to a character in "Spider-Man: Homecoming". It seems that his comparison is between Irrfan Khan and Tony Revolori! Let us know what you think about this comparison by emailing us at Cinemoddities@gmail.com or through the Cinemoddities subreddit at www.reddit.com/r/Cinemoddites

Episode 193 - Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man Movies, The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Reboot! This time, Ben, Rob, and Zack are joined by special guest Zenger to discuss the middle child of the Spider-Man film franchises. How do these movies stack up to the Sam Raimi trilogy? What do Andrew Garfield's facial expressions look like? Listen in to find out!

Episode 192 - Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy
Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004), and Spider-Man 3 (2007), let's turn it up, here we go! It is the longest episode of Cinemoddities ever, but you better believer that it is jam packed with content! Rob hates the comic book movies, but Ben & Zack have other things to say! Jeez, I'm getting winded even writing this sweaty intro. You like Maguire, you like Raimi, you like spiders? Stop looking at me, just listen! No, for real, I am at a loss with this one. If you're not reading the show notes, you are certainly not diving into 5 hours of spider-content.

Episode 191 - Scary Tales (1993)
What better way to end Monstober than with a wildly obscure horror film? Well, it turns out that there are probably a lot of better ways to end Monstober. Listen in on Rob and Zack trying to squeeze as much as they can from this one, which means that there's going to be a lot of tangents. Also, note that just like earlier episodes of this series, this episode was recorded in person so the audio quality is different from the usual.

Episode 190 - Friday the 13th (2009)
Once again, we are back to talk about the Friday the 13th franchise! This time with an installment that we frequently reference, Part 12. Listen in on Rob, Zack, Jeremy, and Babu Frik taking a trip down memory lane and discussing this movie right after watching it! Just as in an earlier episode of this year's Monstober, this was recorded with all the hosts in person, so excuse the different audio quality. Still, this one is a doozy!

Episode 189 - Malignant (2021)
We are continuing Monstober with another new release! Rob and Zack are joined by L'juan once again to dive into the horror genre, and oh boy is this one contentious episode. But which of the hosts dislike this movie? What does this have going for it that other modern horror movies don't? Tune in to find out!

What time is it? Well...this one might be a little late, but it's still Adventure Time! Tune in to find Rob & Ben discussing their last few months - travels, a wedding, a honeymoon, just general reflection on the great time we've had taking a hiatus from recording since mid-August. Not to worry though, the Adventure Time talk does eventually start, and if you want to skip right to that, head to the 28 minutes and 35 second mark. What do we think of this final Distant Lands installment? What do we think of Distant Lands as a whole? It's all in here!

Episode 188 - Candyman (1992) & Candyman (2021)
It's here! The official start of Monstober! And what better way to begin than talking about something topical - the Candymen! We have to note the audio of this episode: it was recorded with Rob, Zack, and all other guests together in person, so it will sound different from our usual quality. Join Rob & Zack along with Jeremy, Rachel, and Babu Frik as they discuss the amount of rings, the main two movies of the discussion, and recap a few episodes of the 2019 Twilight Zone reboot.

Episode 187 - Goosebumps (TV Series)
It's that time of the year, the soft opening of the Monstober season at the Cinemoddities restaurant, which can mean only one thing: Goosebumps from the 90's! There are no more episodes to discuss that involve Carly Beth, but we do get a Sara Beth this year, as well as a Ghost Cat! Zack asks his annual question of when is Goosebumps getting its modern reboot while Rob knows that it is futile to try and recreate perfection.

Episode 186 - Coraline (2009)
Unfortunately, we've reached the end of Henry Selick's filmography. Fortunately, it's one of the best films of all time, "Coraline"! Join Rob and Ben as they dive head first into topics such as dealing with spam, cutie patooties, and relating this movie's meanings to math jargon. Plus, Rob gives his rankings of both the Henry Selick films and the Laika movies!
