S2E12 SciFi Comedies - SciFi Comedy Grab Bag

It’s time for another grab bag here on Cinema on Tap!

It’s a fun time! Plus, we discuss our plans for next week’s bonus episode.

S2 Bonus - Academy Awards Reactions

The 96th Academy Awards have finally come and gone, and we follow up on our predictions. Scott lost the predictions game, but won the night, as his #1 film of 2023 collected 7 Oscars (much like his #1 film of 2022!).

Do you have any lingering thoughts on this year’s Oscars? Let us know at cinemaontappodcast@gmail.com

S2E11 SciFi Comedies - Mars Attacks!

Sci-fi comedy month isn’t over just yet but it’s our last full review of the month. We take a turn to full blown spoof town as we talk Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks!

With a massive celebrity cast fending off an alien invasion, Mars Attacks! is the Wario to Independence Day’s Mario (they even came out in the same year). But, does Burton’s sillier send-up of 1950s sci-fi films match up to Roland Emmerich’s box office champ?

Our hosts have thoughts — one of them might even prefer this to Back to the Future. Stay tuned!

S2E10 SciFi Comedies - Galaxy Quest

We made it back from 1955 and now find ourselves in 1999, one of the greatest years in movie history. Put the finishing touches on your Dr. Lazarus cosplay, grab your favorite Captain Taggart poster for an autograph, and head down to the convention center — it’s time for Galaxy Quest!

Galaxy Quest is both a loving parody of Star Trek and a comedy that stands on its own. With a great cast (both fictional and real) on a fun sci-fi adventure, there’s a lot to like!

Both of our hosts are revisiting this one for the first time in a few years. Stick around to hear why we recommend it.

S2E9 SciFi Comedies - Back to the Future

Science fiction comedy month begins in…1955? That’s right folks, we’re going back to the past with Robert Zemeckis’ Back to the Future!

One of the most beloved films of all time finally gets its moment on Cinema on Tap, and Christian gets to cross it off his watchlist. We talk about Michael J. Fox’s performance, the Oscar-nominated screenplay, and why you shouldn’t try to pick apart the time travel logic.

Back to the Future is beloved, but is it beloved by Christian and Scott? Stay tuned to find out.

'Tis Time! To end our Bradley Cooper keg, our hosts are going through his entire filmography and selecting their top 5 performances by B. Coop himself. Then, they narrow the list down to just four movies as they build a Bradley Cooper flight in a new segment of the show.

S2E7 Bradley Cooper - A Star Is Born

Maybe it's time to let the old ways die on this episode of Bradley Cooper month. That's right listeners - Christian got his way and we're discussing A Star Is Born! The fourth American version of this tale, it stars Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper in heart-wrenching, soul-crushing, career high for both. Both our hosts loved it - that's no surprise. But what does the movie, and this month, reveal about Bradley Cooper? Tune in to find out.

S2E6 Bradley Cooper - Silver Linings Playbook / American Sniper

Bradley Cooper month continues as we take a turn from broad comedy to more serious, Oscar-nominated roles. Silver Linings Playbook and American Sniper were huge movies for Cooper’s ascent to movie stardom, earning him awards recognition, box office success, and his PGA producer’s mark. Pat Solitano and Chris Kyle are widely considered some of Cooper’s best performances, and it’s time to talk about why.

One of our hosts includes Silver Linings Playbook in his Letterboxd top 4 — stay tuned to hear who!

S2E5 Bradley Cooper - Wedding Crashers / The Hangover

In honor of one of Christian’s favorite actors, we’re kicking off Bradley Cooper month! While Christian searches for a way to break the news to Christian Bale and Michael Keaton as to why they haven’t had a month on the show yet, we’re breaking down two of the Cooper’s most famous comedic roles: Sack Lodge in Weddings Crashers and Phil Wenneck in The Hangover!

Our hosts unpack these seminal 00’s comedies, whether or not they’re still funny, discussing how they have aged, and BC’s comedic chops. Stay tuned for their thoughts, as well as what’s coming next in this Bradley Cooper-filled month.
