Willem Dafoe as Vincent van Gogh? Somehow we hadn’t seen it, but that changes today.

We kick off a month of watchlist maintenance with Alfsono Cuaron’s CHILDREN OF MEN.

Sealing the deal on a generally dark topic with a lighter approach, the outrageously funny American-Cop-Action-Flick-Satire from Edgar Wright: HOT FUZZ.

We celebrate Joseph’s birthday with QUITE the flick to celebrate a birthday? Stanley Kubrick’s EYES WIDE SHUT, as hauntingly prescient as ever.

We take a look at the results of the 98th Annual Academy Awards and react to them. We’ve previously discussed 3 Academy Award WINNERS, check out our episodes on SINNERS, FRANKENSTEIN, and ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER.

Nominated for 13 Oscars, we felt it was worth squeezing into our month of secret society movies prior to the ceremony this Sunday. Here is our discussion of PTA’s ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER.

We celebrate a brilliant year for film in 2025 ahead of The Academy Awards on Sunday with something even more prestigious. An even higher honor: The Cinementalists Cinema Awards.
Best Picture, Director, Lead Performers, Supporting Performers, Original and Adapted Screenplays, Editing, Cinematography, Production Design, Hair & Make-Up, Score, Ensemble, VFX, and Sound.

Our month of delving in to cinema’s secret societies begins with John Carpenter’s THEY LIVE.
