"Now we have a season finale...ho, ho, ho."

Merry Christmas, Movieland! It's the most wonderful time of the year, because you've got one last Cinema Drive episode under your tree!! Jason and Ryan celebrate eight seasons and 200 episodes with the greatest Christmas film of all time: DIE HARD (1988)!!! Why does Die Hard hit hard decades later? What makes it inexhaustibly enjoyable?? And who says it isn't a Christmas movie???

PLUS: Jason and Ryan mark the end of an era as Cinema Drive goes on hiatus! Seasons come and seasons go, but films with legacy will always live longest. The guys are saying goodbye for now, but may this show have sparked something in your soul.

The adventures continue! In the words of Hot Rod (2007), one of the greatest films of all time: "Life is short - stunt it!" Jason and Ryan break down the onslaught of intense, stunt-focused, hyper-action flicks that have emerged in the last decade. From John Wick (2014) to Atomic Blonde (2017) to Nobody (2021) to The Fall Guy (2024), exhilarating fight choreography has carved a fresh new niche in Hollywood.

The Deep Question: Ho ho ho! You're awakened from a sweet dream of electric sheep when you hear the prancing and pawing of hoofs above. It's Santa Claus!! He's nabbed one of Hollywood's most impressive movie props to gift you for Christmas. What do you hope it is??

HELP, film fans!! Jason's dragged Ryan into a look back at Sam Raimi's weirdest flick (which is saying something)! What happens when Raimi wants to make The Shadow, films his own homage instead, and unleashes it upon a post-Batman (1989) world?? Dare the discovery and dare to watch Darkman (1990)!!

The Deep Question: You go to Rekall from Total Recall (1990) to live out a fantastic movie adventure - what do you choose?


This Week's Features:

Darkman (1990)

Message Jason and Ryan

Cinema Drive pairs a movie about a man's upended life with a movie about a woman's upended town. These excellent dramas (dramedies?) feature respective shocks to their systems that engross the audience and ask some great questions.

The Deep Question: Jeff Daniels friends you on Insta and immediately sends you a DM. He's doing a sequel to Arachnophobia (1990) but the writers are stuck - what creepy crawly should they do next?


This Week's Features:

The Station Agent (2003)

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)

Message Jason and Ryan

WOW, film fans! A 30 year-old franchise culminating in a sixth movie featuring the return of its original cast and a crossover with the current players? Dinosaurs taking over the world?! An epic-length adventure with plenty of space for lots of dino-action?!?! WHY DIDN'T THIS KILL??????

Cinema Drive asks the hard questions and breaks down what went wrong with another movie that should have killed. What happens when filmmakers are so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should?!

The Deep Question: What have you been watching?
