The CinefoolsEp 16 - Rebel Without a Cause (1955) | He Got That James Dean Dead Teen Angst in His Eye!…and we got that fool-ish podcast thing that you like. And when Buzz go crashing down, he'll be dead in due time. Cause he never jumped out the car, he never jumped out the car.Taylor Swift musical parody aside, Jordan and Jacob have a jam-packed episode this week as they cover 1955s 'Rebel Without a Cause', the Nicholas Ray directed, James Dean starring coming-of-age drama about the rebellious, emotionally confused and misunderstood middle class youth of the 1950s. It's brimming with juvenile delinquincy and teen angst! (Perhaps the first film to portray these qualities in a sy...
2024-10-272h 12The CinefoolsEp 15 - The Death of Stalin (2017) | They Broke the Canon of Earth Man!Greetings Comrades! It's me - Jordan, reporting to you live from the fictionalised land of Soviet Russia in 1953! I have no idea why Jacob has brought me here, how he got me here, nor do I know what anyone is talking about - something about Soviet onions I think. What I do know is that a man named Stalin has a gun to our heads and is asking us to be funny. Naturally we will be dead quite soon. But not before we report on the movie for this week, Armando Iannucci's 2017 political satire 'The Death of Stalin! Wait…..de...
2024-10-131h 41The CinefoolsEp 14 - Mean Girls (2004) | On Mondays We Take on “Girl-World”On Cinefools recording day Jordan asked Jacob what day it was. "Mean Girls Day", he responded. Jordan was disconcerted, forced to contemplate the ramifications of this endeavour into the uncharted "girl-world". Did the internet truly need to hear our thoughts on the Tina Fey written and Mark Waters directed 2004, teen comedy classic, 'Mean Girls' and its illustrations of the sociology of girls, gender norms, politics and the nuances and expectations of womanhood as pushed by an unrelenting culture? No it did not. But we did it anyway. So get in losers, we're going podcasting! Timecodes:...

(1981's The Evil Dead, 1987's Evil Dead II and 1992's Army of Darkness) Not solely a horror series teeming with gut-wrenching scares, a surplus of gore, demonic spirits and hair-raising violence, but a comedic one too, with a healthy balance of absurdist humour, wacky antics, eyebrow raising one liners and an over-the-top groovy style that'll have you possessed with amusement. Forewarning however...
2024-09-151h 39The CinefoolsEp 12 - Moon (2009) | Not Just One Starman Waiting in This Sky://NASA//TRANSMISSION:LOG://[22] It's been a while now. 22 weeks trapped in a room with nothing but each other and a microphone. The isolation and loneliness at full throttle. Unable to harvest any purpose beyond the echo chamber we had subjected ourselves to. We were reaching our wits end. What were we trying to achieve? Who are the Cinefools? But like a shining star in the night sky, Duncan Jones' directorial debut, the critically praised sci-fi original, 2009's Moon came to the rescue. Our passion returned, our mission clear. The Cinefools were here to watch, discuss and learn about films...

2024-06-161h 41The CinefoolsEp 10 - Chef | Not for the Empty of Stomach9 weeks ago Jordan and Jacob started a podcast. Somewhere in those 63 days the Cinefools were scooped up by the unrelenting studio system. But they escaped. And just as Jon Favreau did with his 2014 indie darling 'Chef', (in which he directed, wrote, co-produced and starred in) they have reconnected with their roots. Talking about another film that seems to be (in more ways than one) a semi-autobiographical tale of its creator (JUST LIKE EPISODE 1). So get those grills pre-heated, your corn starch at the ready, and please, for the love of all that is good and holy, eat something. Because...

This week the pair aren't taking any shortcuts as we discuss the making of the film from the roaring passion and attention to detail behind every frame to the real-world inspirations for the film's narrative. And the usual foolishness of course . . . the dirty jokes, the head scratching logistics of the 'Cars' universe and Lightning McQueen's awe-inspiring journey as he becomes a supporter of small businesses.

Join us in our hunt for the answers behind questions of greed and power, chaos and order, love and lust, truth and lies . . . and why exactly people from 1941 talk like that. Will this episode contain the rarest of jewels and gold? Or perhaps we will be steered astray, only to find a dull lead in its core.
