The Batman (2022)
Well lookie what we have here. You don't have to be a crime fighting detective to know this is a brand new episode of Cinema Seekers; however, you might need to be one in order to find out where we've been for a year. It has indeed been awhile since we posted something, but we are back, baby! In...
-
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
Welcome, fellow Cinema Seekers, to the greatest Nostalgia Fest of your life! We love this movie so much. Can you blame us? It struck all the right emotional chords and stands as a true love letter to the Spider-Man film franchise. All the while, it treated the established source material with the...
-
Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)
Far From Home? More like Far From A Perfect Sequel! Well at least that's how we felt about it... On this episode of Cinema Seekers, we discuss the second Tom Holland Spider-Man film. Did the superhero genre mix well with the family vacation style, or did it fall short? Is the movie rewatchable…

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
If you thought you'd see awkward teen dancing in a coming-of-age, teen movie about Homecoming, you'd be wrong. Hello fellow seekers of Cinema! This time on Cinema Seekers we continue down our road to Spider-Man: No Way Home with Tom Holland’s first solo entry in the trilogy. We take a deep dive…

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Sony: *Sees Marvel's success at universe building* "It's my birthday. It's time for me to LIGHT my candles!" Let's cut to the chase. This movie is all over the place. It's tonally inconsistent, characters are shoved aside for large stretches of runtime, and the runtime is consumed by plot lines...
-
The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
***GUEST STAR*** Five years was definitely long enough for a reboot, right? Connor, Freddy, and special guest Sean discuss the debut of Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man. Awesome web-swinging, good chemistry, decent music, and bad villainy are just a few of the things the Cinema Seekers point out. Get...
-
Spider-Man 3 (2007)
"You'll get your episode when you fix these damn ratings!" Well, well, well. The Holy Trilogy comes to an end. Or so we think... Although I firmly believe this movie is not worthy of the spewing internet hate it receives, there are no doubt many issues here. This may well be the most divided we...
-
Spider-Man 2 (2004)
“Cinema Seekers’ 1 hour 29 minute guarantee is a promise, man!” Whoops, sorry we can't seem to keep that promise, fellow listeners. But for this trilogy? It’s worth it. Well, it seems we have never collectively liked a movie quite as much as we did this one. It’s clear that Sam Raimi is truly not...
-
Spider-Man (2002)
***GUEST GUEST STAR*** “Cinema Seekers, you SLIME! Who’s the reviewer who says DeHaan was a better Goblin than me!?” Literally none of us believe that, Mr. Dafoe, sir. Press play and see for yourself! “Oh. You know I’m something of a podcaster myself…” Well, guys, this is the start of our journey...
-
Marvel Disney+ Shows (2021)
Part 1? Maybe. As more of the Marvel shows come out, we’ll see if you actually want us to review them or not. Featuring WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Loki. From witches and the wonders they bring, to new world politics after the mad Titan, with a little timeline controlling,...
-
Black Widow (2021)
It's the long awaited classic which should have come out in 2020, but even more so should have come out in 2017 (i.e. after Civil War). It's the solo outing fans have been asking of Marvel for years, and they've finally listened (even though it's kind of too late). It's Black Widow! Although this...
-
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
The follow-up to the most successful female led superhero movie of our time? Set in the 80s?? What could go wrong!? You know, besides the fact that the continuity already established Diana wasn't Wonder Woman during the 80s. Maxwell Lord. The Dream Stone. Cheetah. More Steve Trevor. This movie is...
-
Wonder Woman (2017)
Diana, princess of Themiscyra, must track down and defeat a professor of wizardry through his bloody trail of werewolf bites and... Oh, come again? That’s the wrong David Thewlis character? Whoops. Well, don’t lie, you would totally watch that movie. Wow, we really love this movie. Despite some...
-
The New Mutants (2020)
It's the New Mutants for the New Year! Yep, that's tooootally why we waited so long to get this episode out... Wow, it really has been a long time since we've given you guys a new episode. We're sorry about that, but we're back! Even though this episode was recorded real time in September, we're...
-
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
“Honey, I’m home!” Uhhh, Mr. J? You’re not actually supposed to be in this movie. It’s about the Phantasm, not the Joker... But hey, since you’re already here... Welcome to the first animated film review on our podcast - it was a darn good one to start with! In this episode we talk all things The...
-
2012 (2009)
In this episode, we review the film "Close Calls Every 20 Seconds"... Oh sorry, we mean "2012". Yep, there you go. The year we were all supposed to kick the bucket. You get it, right? You get an action packed, lack-luster plot, and you loose 2 hours and 38 minutes of your life. If you are a...
-
Fantastic Four (2015)
Boy, oh boy, aren’t you glad we finally did everyone’s favorite superhero movie? What’s that? You mean you didn’t want us to have a two hour discussion about 2015's Fant4stick? Oh. Uhhhh... Boy, oh boy, do we have a surprise for you. Just press play, it totally isn’t a movie you thought you’d be...
-
Greyhound (2020)
***GUEST STAR*** That's right. We got a famous guest star for this episode. And his name is... Lee Helmsman #2. So let’s cut to the chase. We love this film. We also may (or may not) be biased in saying that because we invited our good friend Keon Motakhaveri to come talk about his experience...
-
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)
“Dyin’ is a day worth livin’ for!” Well that hits home now... Well friends, we have finally watched all of the films in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. And it was fun up until the end. This movie looks really good. However, that’s only the outward appearance, because this movie is also…
more -
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)
Well, the trilogy had it's run annnnnnnd... We lost our heading... Alright, you knew it was coming, this is the worst movie in the franchise (at least so far...). It's a good thing Connor fixed his audio quality for this one. There's parts that will make you smile, but even Johnny Depp's...
-
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
Well, we have made our way through the original trilogy. Everything else from here on out are just spin offs, right? Welcome to another episode of the least famous movie reviewer podcast - The Cinema Seekers. In this episode, we discuss many things - design, funny moments, music (can you blame...
-
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006)
We have our heading. It's another great Pirates movie! We've got another movie review for you guys and gals, and it was a fun one! This time, we talk music, character design, and plot, as we try to figure out questions like: "Why is Cutler Beckett in this movie?" "When did Elizabeth Swan get so...
-
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
Yo ho, yo ho, a good movie to see! With this episode, we bring Captain Jack’s debut film approximately 90% praise and 10% nitpicks. We discuss the score, cinematography, script (all of which are fantastic!), and we at least try to figure out how the curse works. Bizarrely, the Game Boy Advance…
more -
Extraction (2020)
It’s trending #5 on Netflix: Extraction, starring Thor Odinson. In this episode, we discuss action movie tropes and... Actually that’s mostly what we talk about, come to think of it. And also streaming services in general. Point is, there’s not a whole lot of plot between the blood and gore. That...
-
Deadpool 2 (2018)
Zip it, Ryan Reynolds! We’re trying to review your movies! Well it all comes down to this. The ending of our X-Men series (until New Mutants breaks its curse). What a great film to end on, too. Thank you for listening as we talk Marvel and DC jokes, time-travel logistics, and Mr. Thanos himself...
-
Deadpool (2016)
X GON GIVE IT TO YA! Yes, we are X and we are going to give you... And by "it," we mean our Deadpool talk. There are so many praise-worthy things in this film - namely, the fact that Ryan Reynolds must secretly be Wade Wilson. Seriously, he’s born for this role. You might wanna wear your brown...
-
Logan (2017)
We don't mean to dampen the mood, but yeah... Let's talk about this fantastic piece of cinema. So much artistic consideration was put into this film and honestly, we don’t know if we did it justice with our conversation. The X-Men Franchise just doesn’t get any better than this... ...However, we…
more -
The Wolverine (2013)
It’s a movie whose plot gets erased by the very next movie in the franchise. It’s a movie that desperately wanted to be an R-rated superhero film. It’s James Mangold’s The Wolverine. Well, this trilogy has taken an interesting turn for the better. We here at the Cinema Seekers Guild recommend you...
-
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
***GUEST STAR*** Well, well, well. Look what the Fox dragged in with this one. It was kinda fun to rewatch, but ten times better to review. Look, we get it, what more can be said about this film? Well, tune in to see what we add to the conversation because some of the views are controversial! We...
-
Dark Phoenix (2019)
Well guys, we finally made it to Dark Phoenix... Yep, this movie exists... *Sigh* Twice... Look, even though this movie is perpetually somber, much like our hopes for a satisfying end to the franchise, you don’t have to wallow in it during this episode. Okay, maybe a little bit, but can you blame...
-
X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)
So Apocalypse is basically a short, non-sympathetic, blue, Egyptian Thanos, right? No? Oh, okay... *Long sigh of relief* It’s okay, guys. This movie is NOT (quite) as bad as you remember it! We’ve got some solid characters and some decent CGI here. At best, it’s pretty entertaining. However…

X-Men: Days of Future Past - The Rogue Cut (2014)
Fox: “Hey, Bryan? Uh, we need you to come back and finish what you started.” Bryan Singer: “Alright, but I’m calling the shots, okay? That means no more killing my characters off and sewing their mouths shut.” Well, boys and girls, this is the cream of the crop of the X-Men films. And before you...

Join in on the conversation! You can follow our Instagram page @cinemaseekerspod or send us voice...
-
X-Men: First Class (2011)
Behold, the origin story know one really knew they wanted. The prequel to the horrific prequel (Origins: Wolverine) of the original X-Men trilogy is what we talked about this week. And... It sure is a good one. Of course we have our nitpicks: Why does Mystique get treated like one of the "kids"?...
-
X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)
“Hey, Mr. [insert Fox exec here], we can’t put Nightcrawler in this movie, but do not fear! We’ve got another blue mutant to meet your demands! His name is Beast.” Well friends, this is the bad one. This is the Dark Phoenix before Dark Phoenix. So here’s the rub. We’ve got a lot of questions with...
-
X2: X-Men United (2003)
In 2003, Fox was back at it again, bringin' mutants to the Silver Screen! You got questions from the previous film? Us too, but there are no answers here! Join us as we wonder how Mystique injected some dude with iron, what Stryker's mysterious liquid can't do, and if Nightcrawler smells like…

X-Men (2000)
Do you know what happens to a franchise when its studio merges with Disney? The same thing that happens to everything else. Well we finally did it guys. We finally finished our first freakin' episode. In a planned lead-up to The New Mutants, we (Freddy and Connor) decided to tackle the Fox X-Men...
