S2E1 Top 20 of 2023

Yearly, Scott and Christian get together to name their respective top 20 movies of 2023. Normally, this is a fun exercise - not easy, not difficult, but a fun way to shout out the movies that meant the most to our hosts.

 

This year, neither of them (particularly one Ohioan co-host) was prepared for how good the year was going to be, nor how difficult this list would be to make.

 

As our hosts share their respective top 20 lists, they have a dozen honorable mentions, squabble over the smallest of details, and overall congratulate themselves for living through what will go down as one of the best movie-going years ever.

 

Did your favorite movie of 2023 make the list? Stay tuned and email cinemaontappodcast@gmail.com to let us know!

We have arrived at arguably the most famous era of all: The Disney Renaissance. Christian and Scott are looking at two of Disney’s most influential films of the last 30 years: Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King.

Joined by new friend of the show Hadley Vogler, we revisit some childhood favorites to talk about the Broadway influence, revitalized princess story, celebrity voice actors and more. This was a fun one!

S1E14 Disney 100 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs + Pinocchio

It’s nostalgia time! In honor of Disney 100 and the release of their new film Wish, Christian and Scott are taking a walk down memory lane and watching some classic Disney films.

We’re starting at the very beginning: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs & Pinocchio!

It’s the fairy tale that started it all, and the morality tale that followed it. Many still consider these among the greatest animated films ever made. Will our hosts agree?

Plus, we talk about two new films we saw at AFI Fest: Bradley Cooper’s Maestro and Jeff Nichols’ The Bikeriders.

S1E13 Supernatural Horror - Hidden Gems

Before we tap out this month’s cinematic keg, we’ve got some recommendations for all kinds of supernatural horror! Demons, ghosts, haunted houses, killer weather, and the devil himself — we’ve got it all for you on this episode. Christian and Scott take a trip through history, recommending movies from as far back as the 60s and as recently as 2020. We’ve got you covered for some hidden gems, guilty pleasures, and more.

S1E12 Supernatural Horror - The Babadook

Get ready for your next pour from our Supernatural Horror keg as we talk about a recent horror hit: The Babadook. We take a trip to Australia to talk through Jennifer Kent’s feature debut.

Kent pairs scares with a thought-provoking metaphor as a terrifying monster haunts a mother and son. Since its release in 2014, The Babadook has gained a reputation as one of the best horror movies of the 2010s, as well as birthing internet memes and even a wonderfully silly discourse: is the Babadook an LGBT+ icon?

Pour yourself a beer and listen along as Christian and Scott sit down to see if The Babadook deserves its positive reputation.
