S2E5 Rec: Ocean's Three (feat. Tyler Penn)

It’s time to kick off the month of February our favorite way: with some streaming recommendations! Scott and Christian discuss two movies with an ensemble cast and two movies directed by Robert Zemeckis with the typical theme of looking back, then looking forward. After the pair share their recommendations, they welcome on a special guest: Christian’s roommate Tyler! He and Christian have an exciting bonus episode coming later this week -- tune in to find out what they’re talking about.

S2E4 1973: American Graffiti

It’s time to wrap up our 1973 Blend of the Month with George Lucas’ American Graffiti. The film was such a success that it gave Lucas the runway to make Star Wards, one of the biggest cultural films of all time. Christian and Scott spend some time discussing the influence of American Graffiti on hangout movies and high school movies. Then, it’s Scott’s new favorite time of the week: Fun Facts time. The two then share their thoughts—did they save the best for last or were they disappointed? After the review, the monthly blend awards are dished out for Most Influential Scene, Best Performance, and Best Picture.

S2E3 1973: The Exorcist

t’s time for one of the most iconic movies of 1973, and of all-time: The Exorcist. Christian and Scott take a deep dive into the weird and wild background of William Friedkin’s smash hit, and unpack why it's had such a lasting influence. There’s also a ton of fun (or not so fun) facts from behind the scenes. Our hosts also share their own thoughts on The Exorcist, as they both watched it for the first time. Is it worthy of the praise? Or are Christian and Scott heretics?

S2E2 1973: Enter the Dragon

It’s time for our first blend of 2021! Christian is taking us through a quick tour of 1973, an oddly specific choice. Scott and Christian spend some time talking about the year in movies and listing some of the notable releases from that year. After sharing a few fun facts, we discuss the Bruce Lee classic: "Enter the Dragon," our first movie of the year. One of us liked it more than the other…but you can probably already guess who that was.

S2E1 2020's Top 20

Christian and Scott are back with their first Cinema Drip of 2021! Naturally, it’s time to reflect on last year. Despite the circumstances, we still got a ton of awesome movies, and smaller movies had a chance to shine a little brighter. Christian and Scott briefly share on their 20-11 before going into greater detail about their respective top tens of the year.

Episode #35 - The Drippies

The time has come. The year of the Cinema Drip podcast comes to an end - but it comes to an end with a BANG! Our hosts discuss (or fight) about the best blends and movies and performances they've seen this year. Ceremoniously handing out awards, is there a better way for Scott and Christian to end the year?

Episode #34 - Is this Christmas? (with Paul Yoder from Author's Dozen)

What even are Christmas movies? Why does Christmas exist as its own film genre and has that definition changed since It's a Wonderful Life? Paul Yoder joins our guests to talk through what a Christmas movie is and what our thoughts on them (are? should be?) this Holiday season.

Episode #33 - THE Sofia, On the Rocks

The last blend of the month, the Sofia Coppola cup of coffee, comes to an end with her latest, 2020's On the Rocks. Featuring the wonders of Rashida Jones and Bill Murray, Christian and Scott, for the last time of the year, find themselves at odds. Who considers this film to be one of the year's best and who doesn't? And what does the rest of year have in store for the podcast?

Episode #32 - THE Sofia, Marie Antoinette

The Sofia Coppola blend marches on with her 2006 follow up to Lost in Translation, the biopic-ish Marie Antoinette. Now, Scott has made it clear that he's a fan of costume dramas. Christian has made it clear that he's on the fence about them. So how will they discuss this costume drama hybrid? Will they come to an agreement or will they, once again, find themselves on opposite sides?

Episode #31 - THE Sofia, Lost in Translation

Scott begins his blend of the month having chosen none other than Sofia Coppola. Of the Coppola family and a distinguished filmmaker in her own right, Sofia Coppola has amassed quite a filmography in her time working and Scott and Christian will start by tackling her masterpiece, Lost in Translation. The question on their minds, though, is, is this movie actually a masterpiece? Or has it been mislabeled?
