Sober Cinema1996 at the Movies: 2 DAYS IN THE VALLEYTwenty-five years of still being creeped out by James Spader being that close to Charlize Theron.
The one thing we can all be grateful for when it comes to this mid90s Tarantino ripoff is that it gave Ms. Theron her start.
And the world was a better place.
We spend about half the episode on this fact and eventually make our way to a more titillating look at sad sacks in the valley with Paul Thomas Anderson's masterpiece BOOGIE NIGHTS. As it should be, Enjoy!

Sober Cinema1996 at the Movies: THE FIRST WIVES CLUBTwenty-five years of Stockard Channing being an unfortunate inspiration.
The hosts of SOBER CINEMA were initially concerned about being two middle-aged men picking on older women... until this box-office hit from 1996 did it for us. But just to cover our bases we brought on the world's biggest Diane Keaton fan in Derek Stewart of THE GRAND GESTURE podcast and unfortunately for him he meets a new superfan of Bette Midler. Also Goldie Hawn. She's done well for herself. She slept with Kurt Russell.

Does it matter if said bathroom has been used more than once (though once is enough) by the bug from MEN IN BLACK?
And back to the bathroom business... one host is ready to answer in the affirmative even if it's the stall from TRAINSPOTTING.

For another host it was the above host quoting this movie incessantly and ruining the whole thing.

Sober Cinema1996 at the Movies: THE TRIGGER EFFECTWe prepare for the breakdown of society caused by confusing Dermot Mulroney with Dylan McDermott.
As 2020 proved... nothing can be agreed upon ESPECIALLY with the talents of Ms. Shue standing in between with her futile attempts at mediation in David Koepp's THE TRIGGER EFFECT.
Along the way we learn about the inherent madness of participating in one host's homeowner's association and perhaps less strangely the participation of auteur David Cronenberg in a Tom Arnold comedy called THE STUPIDS.
This episode is illuminating.

Sober Cinema1996 at the Movies: JACKFrancis Ford Coppola apologized for the third GODFATHER with... JACK.
And we never knew how good we had it with Sofia Coppola's acting until we saw a much beloved comedian facing impending death and impending baldness in a film now relegated to terrifying children on Disney Plus.
But back in 1996 we were innocent. And then Bill Cosby walked onscreen as a mentor to a ten year old kid with the sexual desires of a forty year old.
On that day we turned into men. Deviant men. Enjoy!

That may be a bit misleading but one of our hosts named Jairo is an idiot. He attempts an overcorrection by praising the followup to THE FUGITIVE from auteur Andrew Davis in the Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz on the run movie about some science stuff. Morgan Freeman uses that great voice to try to talk Keanu down from the public fat shaming that never came for his girth in this film while Ms. Weisz waits for SPEED to drag her around to the next set piece.2021-11-2424 min

We accept all cast members sweating profusely EXCEPT for Brenda Fricker.
More Oliver Platt.
Less Kevin Spacey.

Sober Cinema1996 at the Movies: TRAINSPOTTINGTwenty-five years of borrowing videotapes from your mates that have the same results as THE RING.
As three upstanding citizens we don't have much experience with the drug culture as presented in this Danny Boyle film... but we do know a thing or two about taking movies from your buddy's highly cultivated collection. With that in mind we feel free to condemn one of the most well regarded cinematic experiences of 1996 as well as one host being rather insistent of his fandom for one cast member who would go on to star in BOARDWALK EMPIRE.

Sober Cinema1996 at the Movies: COURAGE UNDER FIRETwenty-five years of Denzel Washington not taking sass from Lou Diamond Phillips.
Also Matt Damon got skinny. Uncomfortably skinny.
We try to be respectful of our military on the silver screen but then Bronson Pinchot shows up and we just give up. And in the end it's Sean Astin's fault. As it always would be.

And yet... everyone still hates him. This includes one of our hosts who maintains his unnatural rage anytime he sees this great actor on screen. Unfortunately that includes this Capraesque film from 1996 that is about a small town man who just wants to solve simple problems. Usually involving animal excrement to fix cars. Also he holds hands with Kyra Sedgwick. It's a joyous episode of SOBER CINEMA!

One of our co-hosts (his name is Jairo) ruining the official SOBER CINEMA group text thread with an image of himself in a bathtub.

Sober Cinema1996 at the Movies: ERASERTwenty-five years of James Caan's moving parts.
We didn't remember much about Arnold Schwarzenegger's last hurrah as an action star but ERASER somehow managed to provide us room to provide the definitive guesswork on the motivations of James Cromwell in this film:
Upset with James Caan's nipples.
Upset with Vanessa Williams' ability to burn a CD.
Upset with Arnold Schwarzenegger's antics with a CGI alligator.
As we said. DEFINITIVE.

Those that don't appreciate a deluxe home entertainment as a friendly gift.
Or an arranged date with a lady of the night.
Or warm eggs lovingly prepared by a new best friend.

Okay, so maybe it was more like one terrible opening weekend for that particular superhero trope and for that we lay the blame all around for the auteur Simon Wincer's summer blockbuster that wasn't:
Treat Williams being bad... but not bad enough as the villain.
Catherine Zeta-Jones being sidelined to a volume shooter off the bench.
And Kristy Swanson's strange fascination with Jon Lovitz which we didn't know at the time... but we could tell that there was something off about her in 1996.

Jan de Bont's TWISTER is a look at a profession/hobby that is "one step above LARPing" according to one super-Jamie Gertz fan. We continue to misunderstand the movies of 1996 but we do understand wet t-shirts.
