The CineMEH Podcast
by Josh Rigdon and Ryan Cipriani
Hosts screenwriter Joshua Rigdon and author Ryan Cipriani take a sardonic but lively look at some of the most forgettable movies of the last decades in this film critique podcast devoted to the forgotten "mid" movie. Not good movies, not bad movies just... fine movies. Each week, Josh and Ryan humorously pick apart a cinematic offering that never quite arrived and discuss why. You'll learn about film story structure, financial constraints, bland writing, and middling performances on each adventure through a movie you likely forgot ever existed in the first place.

The Eras Tour: Godzilla vs. Destoroyah
Alright, Cinephiles, I'm not even going to bury the lead on this one. Josh told Ryan this is considered one of the greatest Godzilla films of all time, if not one of THE greatest films of all time period, noting, in particular, that it currently boasts a Rotten Tomatoes score of an immaculate…

The Eras Tour: Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla
The answer ALEX TREBEK (rest his soul, saints preserve us) gave was "A hybrid film combining elements of James Bond spy movies, fifties atomic invasion cinema, and an extended musical break." The question was... What is "Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla"? In the second instalment of our Godzilla Eras…

S4E11 - Marry Me
What'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…

It'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.
