S2E9 Live-Action + Animation: Tom & Jerry

It’s a rare occasion in Cinema Drip—a new release! Scott and Christian dive in to the latest HBO Max release, Tom and Jerry. Our two hosts discuss whether it was a worthy successor to the old cartoons to wrap up the Live Action/Animated Blend of the Month. Then, it’s time for the awards. Which film will take home our hosts’ respective Best Picture honors?

S2E8 Live-Action + Animation: Space Jam / Looney Tunes: Back in Action

It’s a very special week here on the Cinema Drip podcast as our good friend Paul Yoder joins the show yet again to discuss Looney Tunes movies! After sharing a little bit about their respective personal histories with Bugs, Daffy, and the gang, the trio dissect 1996’s Space Jam and 2003’s Looney Tunes: Back in Action. One is a revered 90s classic, the other an ill-fated box office bomb. If you didn’t already suspect it, there are some hot takes on this episode…

S2E7 Live-Action + Animation: Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Scott’s in charge of our monthly blend, so you know it’s about to get weird. It’s time for the live action/animated blend of the month, starting with Who Framed Roger Rabbit! First, Scott and Christian chat about the background leading up to its release and the influence it had after it came out. After sharing a few more fun facts (Scott’s new favorite part of the show) the two dive into their review. Does Who Framed Roger Rabbit hold up? Or is it too problematic?

S2E6 Bonus: The Sundance Kid(s) (feat. Tyler Penn)

Having recently come from the at-home virtual Sundance Film Festival, we bring you this special bonus episode from our very own Christian Ubillus. He was able to attend the festival with his roommate, the one and only Tyler Penn, and together, they managed to squeeze in 15 new movies over the course of three days. On this episode, they talk about what they thought about the Sundance experience and rank the films from 15 to 1. It's a special look and a spotlight on movies that may not be released soon, but that are important to keep on your radar for the future.

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?
