S4E12 Basketball: Coach Carter

The inspirational sports movie. A tried and true classic. Where one coach isn't just there to coach a basketball team - he's there to inspire. That coach is Samuel L. Jackson, that team is Richmond High School, that movie is Coach Carter. Released in 2005, were our hosts equally inspired? Or were they lost causes?

S4E11 Basketball: White Men Can’t Jump

Can Scott jump? The answer to that is no, but does that apply to all white men? That is the question that begs to be answered as our hosts tackle the 1992 basketball classic, White Men Can't Jump. Starring Woody Harrelson, Wesley Snipes, and Rosie Perez, we look at basketball as a primary means of hustling. Do our hosts respect the hustle? Or will they call the bluff?

S4E10 Basketball: Love & Basketball

It's the start of a new blend of the month here on the Cinema Drip podcast and, in honor of March Madness, our hosts will be tackling basketball movies! We start of with Gina Prince-Bythewood's directorial debut - Love & Basketball. Centered on the romance between two budding basketball players, it premiered in the year 2000 and has gone on to be regarded a cult classic. Do our hosts feel the same? Or do they think the movie should be benched?

We're discussing The Last Airbender. There's nothing much to say about this movie - it was awful the first time we saw it. It hasn't improved. Have fun listening :)

Our hosts are back to tackle 2002's Signs. Starring Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix, this movie is known for its intricate creature design, thrills, and surprisingly, comedy. Did our hosts laugh with the movie, or at it?

S4E7 M. Night Shyamalan: The Sixth Sense

M. Night is known for his twists, and there's probably no plot twist more famous than that of The Sixth Sense. Both of our hosts know about the twist, but neither has seen the movie - what can we expect?

Kicking off our newest blend go the month, our co-hosts decide to tackle one of the most divisive filmmakers we have - M. Night Shyamalan. Reviewing his newest film, Knock at the Cabin, currently in theaters, our hosts look over their personal histories with him before delving into their thoughts about this at times troubling movie. Are they on this movie's wavelength when it comes to faith? Or do they doubt?

S4E4 Nora Ephron: Sleepless in Seattle

Our Nora Ephron blend of the month comes to a conclusion with the Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan starring film - Sleepless in Seattle. This movie is one full of desire, intrigue, radio drama, and much more. Though it's a film Scott is returning to, Christian is coming to it for the first time - will they agree or disagree on the degree of sleeplessness this film gives them?
