The CineMEH PodcastMARVELous Autumn MiniSeries: Deadpool 2What’s better than ONE Marvel’s Deadpool movie?! Two Marvel’s Deadpool movies! Please note that Marvel did not actually release the Deadpool movies, they are in fact Fox properties, but we’ll be damned if we do anything at all that raises the profile of THAT fallen empire. Josh and Ryan are back in part two of our Marvel’s Deadpool series with the aptly titled… Deadpool 2!

It’s Ryan and Captain Josh (what? what’s that? oh, sorry)— It’s Ryan and Josh back at it again! Only this time, they’re playing shamelessly, cynically, and inopportunely to the algorithm. That’s right! Josh and Ryan are convinced if they just put ‘Marvel’ enough times in the show notes, more people will listen and they’ll finally get some of those sweet, sweet hair trimmer endorsements. If the meta joke hasn’t landed yet, this ent...2024-10-311h 07

It's episode 2 of our MidSummer Mini Marathon where Josh and Ryan take on some of each other's favorite movies!

A movie so tremendously long, it felt like it went on forever! So incredibly lengthy, it seemed to never end! A movie that felt like... an eternity? It's Marvel's Eternals. That's right! This week on CineMeh, Josh and Ryan are delving into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with one of its most recent, and yet puzzlingly most forgettable entries, Eternals. An ensemble showpiece with a star-studded cast, featuring appearances by Rob Stark...2024-06-071h 20

The CineMEH PodcastS4E12 - Bangkok Dangerous*Welcome to this season's CAGE MATCH, Bangkok Dangerous and Other Films of Dubious Quality! This week on The CineMEH Podcast, Josh and Ryan take on what might be, officially, the absolute peak of midness, the height of mediocrity, the zenith of 'it's fine,' the top of the mountain for 'meh' vibes... 2008's Bangkok Dangerous. And yes, we almost immediately become distracted and talk about other films because there is painfully, AGONIZINGLY little to say about this particular movie. An analysis of hitman movie...2024-05-311h 04

The CineMEH PodcastS4E11 - Marry MeWhat's the term for when a piece of media makes a meta-reference to its own inadequacies and then fails to correct those inadequacies? Like, say, theoretically, just for argument's sake, a movie makes a pointed reference regarding how women's ages in Hollywood are often and regularly cause for them to be marginalized, but then said movie tries to actively age down its female lead by twenty years? Is there a word for that? Whatever that word is, that's what this movie is. This week on The CineMEH Podcast, Josh...2024-05-241h 26

Oh, I'm sorry, not quite, anyone else want to take a crack at it? What is a romantic drama starring Diane Lane? Mm, close, but we're looking for something different, one more try? What is a musical comedy starring Rick Moranis? Nope, that wasn't it either, we were looking for 'What is an action noir romantic drama with musical comedy...2024-05-171h 08

The CineMEH PodcastS4E9 - The Big HitIt's a well worn trope, but this week we're doing the ol' "never be a hitman with a girlfriend and a fiance who participates in an unsanctioned kidnapping and accidentally steals the goddaughter of his hit boss and falls in love with her too," story. A tired chestnut, perhaps, but a reliable one. This week on The CineMeh Podcast Josh and Ryan are going hardcore 90s with this Mark Wahlberg vehicle about a charmingly conscientious, and maddeningly morally nebulous hitman who finds himself pulling the wrong job with the wrong people on the wrong target. 2024-05-101h 06

The CineMEH PodcastS4E8 - The Lord of the RingsNope, sorry, listeners, it's not THAT Lord of the Rings... it's the other Lord of the Rings. Oh, you didn't know there was another Lord of the Rings? From the 1970s? Well, come into our Hobbit hole and lend an ear! J.R.R. Tolkien did a lot of things brilliantly, naming the homes of Hobbits 'holes' was not one of them. Moving on. This week on The CineMeh Podcast, Josh and Ryan take on the rotoscoped animated classic The Lord of the Rings as presented by Ralph Bakshi, the godfather of adult...2024-05-031h 07

The CineMEH PodcastS4E7 - LegionWhen the skies are filling with black, apocalyptic clouds and locusts, what do you do? Well, if you're Jeep Hanson in 2010's dark modern fantasy Legion, you stare at it blankly for a moment before casually going back to whatever you were doing before and telling absolutely no one. This week on The CineMeh Podcast, Josh and Ryan puzzle their way through an astonishingly inept tale of good versus evil, angels versus demons, the end of the world as we know it if not for the coming of a second christ child, and what happens...2024-04-261h 04

The CineMEH PodcastS4E6- Rat RaceLife is nothing but a slap in the face, so goes the song. So goes the race. The rat race, that is to say. As in the 2001 ensemble slapstick comedy loosely based on a 1963 ensemble slapstick comedy, Rat Race. Except Rat Race isn't almost four hours long. And yet, somehow, it's still far too long. This week on The CineMEH Podcast, Josh and Ryan are discussing the nuances of this blistering critique of the ultra-wealthy one percent and the twisted, sadistic ways they play with regular people's lives. We also chat...2024-04-191h 13

The CineMEH PodcastS4E5- The Three Musketeers 2011Were you looking to see a film adaptation of the previously unreleased, unannounced, and undeveloped Assassin's Creed: Viva Le France?! Then you've come to the right place, because this week, we've got a high-flying clock punk classic for you on our hands! On this episode of The CineMEH Podcast, Josh and Ryan cover the 2011 interpretation of The Three Musketeers helmed by acclaimed video game director Paul WS Anderson. Yes, that's right, video game nerds, that was an Aklaim joke. Also, despite the heavily video game influenced introduction, rest assured this movie has absolutely nothing to do with...2024-04-121h 07

The CineMEH PodcastS4E4: Jurassic Park 3Get chased by T. Rex! Oh, wait... Run in the herd of Gallimimus! No, hang on... Marvel at the colors of the Dilophosaur! Damn, just a second... Okay, none of those things happen in this week's episode, but it's still a Jurassic Park movie, so that counts for something. This week on The CineMEH Podcast, Josh and Ryan are going back 65 million years to the age of 2001 with Jurassic Park 3, the oft forgotten capstone of the original late 90s science fiction trilogy. We'll rampage through topics like the state...2024-04-051h 15

The CineMEH PodcastS4E3: LucyWhat do you get when you mix the unstoppable powers of Captain Marvel with the clandestine crime thriller nature of Black Widow? You get Scarlett Johansson's most forgotten film role: Lucy. On this episode of The CineMEH Podcast, Josh and Ryan review a film they would loosely describe as Limitless meets The Matrix. They'll break down the nature of the human brain and neurobiology, and how that old acorn about 'humans only use 10% of their brain,' doesn't exactly tell the whole truth. With a wide ranging discussion that trends into the religious implications...2024-03-291h 04

We sure hope so, CineMeheads, because this week we're coming to you LOUD from the late days of the 1990s Los Angeles hair metal scene with this Brendan Fraiser entry: Airheads. This week on The CineMEH Podcast, Josh and Ryan take a meta look at the state of the music industry, with our film as a backdrop for social commentary. We'll discuss whether this movie was at one time meant to be a more serious offering, how the landscape of art and entertainment changes as it becomes...2024-03-221h 19

If you've ever earnestly asked yourself what the movie Slapshot would be like if it borrowed heavily from Rocky and had the humor of a 7th grade boy, then we've got a movie for you! Heavy on the violence and light on the...2024-03-151h 06

This week on The CineMeh Podcast, Josh and Ryan take on the underworld next to the banana raincoat and fedora hero of the early 30s in the 1990 fever dream classic, Dick Tracy.

The CineMEH PodcastS3E8 - BattleshipFire on A-4! MISS! Fire on G-7! HIT! YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP! With these classic words, an entire dynasty of gaming was born. Helen's face may have launched a thousand ships, but 'You Sunk My Battleship' has launched millions. So, naturally, someone had to come along in the mid-2000s and make a Transformers-inspired movie about a game inspired by tactical naval warfare. Instead of a classic World War 2 Navy propaganda piece, which the game was based on, we got a 2012 alien invasion... Navy propaganda piece. Because why not. This week on The...2023-10-131h 07

This week on The CineMeh Podcast, Josh and Ryan rip into one of the worst examples of cultural appropriation and ill-conceived casting ever devised in a video game movie. 2010's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time stands up as a perfect example of why representation in Hollywood is still so deeply necessary.

They make the hero a woman, and a new cultural icon is born! Naturally, there had to be a movie. This week on The CineMeh Podcast, Josh and Ryan are discussing the 2001 action-adventure movie Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, staring Angelina Jolie as the titular Lara Croft.

The CineMEH PodcastS3E4: DaredevilIt's not often that one film functions as the audition real for a cast of actors to eventually go on to bigger and better roles, but that's exactly what this week's movie does. Daredevil, otherwise known as Ben Affleck's audition for Batman, otherwise known as John Favreau's audition for Happy Hogan, otherwise known as Colin Farrell's audition for Fright Night, is one of those films that lives in the moment so completely it is difficult to remember why anyone thought it was a good idea in the first place.

The CineMEH PodcastS3E2 - Max PayneThe sun was coming up with practiced bravado, and a new day of justice was dawning like the first morning after the apocalypse, when Josh and Ryan sat down to review a wildly mediocre, wannabe hard-boiled film noir film from 2008. This week on The CineMEH Podcast, we are reviewing Max Payne based on the 2001 video game of the same name that memorably combined elements of 1940s detective films, graphic novels, and action movies. ....except that this movie does almost none of those things well. Josh and Ryan are in for a lively debate...2023-09-011h 05

The CineMEH PodcastS3E1 - Doom 2005Josh and Ryan are back! Welcome to Season 3 of The CineMEH Podcast! We are kicking off our themed "IP" Season with the 2005 action-horror-scifi classic of mediocrity: DOOM! Based on the groundbreaking 1993 video game about an army of demons from Hell invading a research facility on the Martian moons, this 2005 summer blockbuster? starring The Rock takes a decidedly different turn. Namely, it chooses not to be groundbreaking, not to be exciting, and not to involve demons or Hell. You know- the opposite of DOOM. Our conversation this season includes a weekly question: Would this...2023-08-2557 min
