For their 100th episode, the Cinema Bums return to their Jurassic Park miniseries to discuss the newly released Jurassic World Dominion!

The Cinema Bums kick off Web Head Summer by discussing the 1977 TV movie, Spider-Man!

The Cinema Bums are joined by Jason Thomas to discuss Jurassic World! This 2015 sequel starring Chris Pratt was a huge commercial success, becoming the seventh-highest-grossing film of all time. It is also so bad that we have to begin the episode by going around the circle and all saying one thing we like about it.

Fri, 30 Apr 2021 - 27min - 27 - Us (2019) with Cory Simmons
The Cinema Bums are joined by Cory Simmons to discuss Jordan Peele's most recent film, the doppelganger horror adventure Us! The trio wastes no time in asking the hard questions: Would you tell your partner if you were a clone? Is casserole the height of white culture? How do you pronounce Midsommar? Does this movie make any sense? Listen in to hear Wade retell his traumatic first experience of seeing this movie, Emmet take IMDB to task in a mirror game of Bums the Word, and Cory share some shocking news about Elizabeth Moss. Cory was joining us virtually from New York City, so some of the audio may be a soundscape of city life, but it is a small price to pay for a guest so great. Just give your ears a few moments to adjust. Thank you for listening, and please enjoy!

The Cinema Bums are joined by DeAndre Weaver of I Have Opinions to discuss Jordan Peele's directorial debut Get Out! This horror movie with a bold message was a gigantic critical and commercial success, winning an Oscar and turning Daniel Kaluuya into a household name. In a wide-ranging discussion, our trio discusses the movie's best scares, Red Starbursts, racism, WandaVision, and the possibility of a Get Out 2, along with a particularly thrilling game of Bums the Word. Tune in to hear Emmet ask the hard questions about Kanye West, Wade dish about The Bachelor, and DeAndre share a particularly, uhm, interesting theory about the family in this movie. This is a fun one, folks. Thank you for listening, and please enjoy!
