Solo Sesh
If you've ever found something antique in your attic, you know that you have to handle it with care. It's part of your history and it's has sentimental value, if not monetary value. So to make a movie based on a classic, beloved franchise requires a deft and caring hand. Did Ron Howard preserve...
-
Avengers: Infinity War Sesh
There comes a time in everyone's life where you have to decide what's right and what you're willing to do for the good of the world. Where you have to decided if sacrificing everyone and everything you love is worth the reward. And that is why we are releasing this podcast so late. We also had to...
-
A Quiet Place Sesh
Shhhh. They're all around us. They can hear the faintest sound. They'll hunt us until they find us and then...the unthinkable. We need to stay silent. We need to keep each other safe and survive. Better listen to this episode with headphones... On this episode of Cinema Sesh, Jay and AJ tiptoe...

Black Panther Sesh
Dealing with one's family is rough. Dealing with losing family is even rougher. Especially if your long-lost cousin tries to infiltrate your hidden, technologically-advanced African Kingdom and usurp superpower from you that you receive from an ancient flower. It's a tale as old as time. Jay and…

Pacific Rim: Uprising Sesh
Technology is a funny thing: It's just an advanced tool. It's not evil, it's not good; It's what the intention of the being in possession of it that matters. And if, say, an evil monster race of aliens had control of a podcast about movies they could use it to brainwash the listeners...but we...
-
Game Night Sesh
Getting together with friends is super special! Good conversation, good food, good fun! But sometimes you want something more, right? You want to get your mind racing and your blood pumping! Well look no further! Just pretend to get kidnapped! But make sure no one *actually* wants you dead. That...
-
Maze Runner: The Death Cure Sesh
When facing extinction, one must remember to not panic. If one stays calm one can rationalize through the many options available to oneself. If one panics, one will try to kidnap and enslave a bunch of kids for their brain goo to let you live a few more weeks at a time. And that's just mean.…

The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials Sesh
The sand whips against your face... The sun beats down on your skin... The zombies pursue you endlessly... Why, oh why, did we decided to spend our vacation in Arizona? The apocalypse is bad enough, and we chose to go to Phoenix? The effects of the Scorch are taking their toll on the Cinema Sesh...
-
The Maze Runner Sesh
The name Thomas comes from the Aramaic name Ta'oma', meaning twin. When Thomas is introduced to the Maze, he himself is an emotional and psychological maze...and in this labyrinth, he finds his twin! How about that for shoehorning in a metaphor?! Doesn't it feel good to be learning new things? In...
-
The Commuter Sesh
We spend a third of our life sleeping. We spend a year and a half of our life on the toilet. And we spend what feels like 110% of our life in transit. The least you could ask from your chosen mode of transportation wouldn't have some sinister conspiracy woven into it. But when that craziness…

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Sesh
Twas two weeks before Xmas and all through the theater, all the nerds with Vader shirts were excited to be-a there. We held our breath as the title cards rolled and cheered when the John Williams timpani tolled. And just as the space was filled with star cruisers, we hoped that as viewers we...
-
Thor: Ragnarok Sesh
People change all the time. It's a part of life. Sometimes we change careers, like life-or-death gladiator. We make new friends, such as drunken scavengers, rock monsters or bugs with knives for hands. We even have to deal with changing familial dynamics, especially when someone in your family...
-
Justice League Sesh
When you were younger did you ever wish you had a nickname? Like Dan the Man, Danger Dan or Dum Dum Dan? Yeah, I would have chosen Dum Dum for ya Dan. Cause you don't even deserve a nick name. You're dumb. But you know who does deserves their nicknames? The World's Greatest Detective. The Amazing...
-
War for the Planet of the Apes Sesh
Dearest Catherine, We are at war. We have a scant amount of food left and my little toes have had to be amputated due to frostbite. The opposing forces are closing in and I fear I will not see the morning. Oh and we're fighting apes. It's a weird war. The war is kind of allegorical and so is this...
-
Spider-man: Homecoming Sesh
When you're young, a new job can be intimidating. You boss might be a bit overbearing, your coworkers may get frustrated with you and don't get me started on the super villains. Oh, wait...did you not have super villains at your first job? How about dudes with taser gloves? Robbers with alien…
more -
Baby Driver Sesh
How do you put together the perfect mix tape? The perfect playlist? The tracks that match like puzzle pieces to the emotion or vibe you're yearning for. You've gotta know what gets you going, gets you pumped. Keep your ears open for songs that light your soul on fire when you hear the first…
more -
Transformers: The Last Knight Sesh
Kids have all the fun. They get to play in the dirt, splash around in puddles, build forts and it's not weird if they collect hundreds of toys. But if you're an adult, people look at you weird if you have a full room dedicated to the action figures. Except if you jump up to the next…

John Wick & John Wick: Chapter 2 Sesh
"Somebody please, get this man a gun!" 2x The Gun-Fu - 2x The Keanu AJ and Jay tackle a double dose of John Wick, reviewing and breaking down both installments of the franchise. They talk body count, the concept of catharsis in revenge and the fate of Common! We talk about dogs a little too.…

The Mummy Sesh
Now, when I die, don't think I'm a nut. Don't want no fancy funeral, just one like ole King Tut. Seems like a fun process. Get part of your brain yanked out with a hook. Have your vital organs put into separate jars, your eyes get replaced with onions! Thank goodness your already dead! Fun Fact:...
-
Jim O'Heir Interview Sesh
They say never meet your heroes. Thank goodness Emmy Award Winning Jim O'Heir isn't AJ's hero! (Full disclosure, this blurb is being written in the third person by AJ so it's kind of surreal. Also, no need to take any of this seriously.) Actually, AJ considers Jim, who played Jerry Gergich on…
more -
Wonder Woman Sesh
Who has ever wished they could go back in time? See the world of yesteryear, experience a younger, more innocent world. One with fewer rights for everyone who wasn't white and male, no penicillin and a complete lack of internet. Actually that sounds incredibly awful. The only good thing is that...
-
Pirates 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales Sesh
With the tide high and the wind at our backs, we once again grab the wheel and point our ship toward wherever adventure takes us. Will we search for some magical treasure? Or fight some cursed pirates? Or retread the same tropes of the first four movies? All compasses point to maybe. AJ and Jay...
-
Alien: Covenant Sesh
Covenant Complaint Log, 2104: When I agreed to go on this colonization mission, I was told that it's gonna be a good time. We were gonna make a new home on a far away planet and I'd never have to see that jerk Kyle from work ever again. I'm not complaining, it's nice to sleep for years on end but...
-
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword Sesh
A legend is sung of when England was young and knights were brave and bold. But they weren't knights anymore and Arthur was raised by a whore and Jude Law was being a jerk. The sword in the stone had to be pulled by the one who was worth of ruling the land. And Guy Ritchie was there to add quips...
-
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Sesh
In the beginning there were the Guardians. And it was good. A ragtag group of aliens saving the galaxy from threats of destruction. Did anyone think that this would be the last time their services would be needed? Could Starlord and his crew just go back to their lives with the memory of their...
-
Ghost in the Shell Sesh
What does it mean to be human? Does the construct of a soul actually exist? Where is the closest 24 hour sushi restaurant near you? None of these questions and more will be answered in this episode of Cinema Sesh as AJ and Jay discuss the story of the cybernetic Major played by Scarlett…
more -
The Fate of the Furious Sesh
Clint Eastwood once said "Fate pulls you in different directions". He must have been confusing fate with harpoons mounted on race cars. Also, his son is in this movie! It must have be fate! Time to jump back into the shotgun seat and join Dom, Letty, Hobbs and the gang for another NOS-fueled romp...
-
Beauty and the Beast Sesh
It's a tale as old as time: Two dudes hanging out on a couch discuss a movie for your listening pleasure. Or they just like hearing their own voices. Here's a segue!

more -
Arrival Sesh
We chose to do this podcast completely in English instead of the Heptapod language. Not that we're trying to exclude any Heptapod from listening to this podcast, it's just that our listeners are typically from Earth and they don't understand that alien language. We totally could have done it in…
