Hey loyal Cinemasochists of the world! We're back! After a 6 month long hiatus, we decided to spice things up a bit and after many, many requests to do a video podcast, we decided to cave in and try it out. But that wasn't enough. We needed more. You DESERVE more! Instead of just a regular old "bad movie" pick like we usually do, we decided to do t…

Greetings everyone! After what we thought was the WORST valentine's day movie two years ago (I Hate Valentines Day - http://cinemasochists.blogspot.com/2011/02/episode-28-i-hate-valentines-day-and.html) we decided to out do ourselves with something perhaps even worse... Heartbeeps is the "romantic adventure" of two robots in love and stars Andy Kau…

Hey gang! Happy New Year! After marathons and "special" episodes we're back reviewing what most of you might call a pretty random film.

Directed by: Richard Marquan…

We did it! We finally freakin' did it!

Listen in and find out, kids! LISTEN TO EPIS…

After cheating our way through 15 (uh-hem, 11) movies, we finally made it to what CNBC named the "BIGGEST BOX OFFICE BOMB" of all time, CUTTHROAT ISLAND!

This episode happens to be our very first animated flick. Not on any of our radars, but necessary as part of our 15 Biggest Box Office Bombs.

Number 12 of our 15 Biggest Box Office Bombs marathon happens to be quite a fitting flick. In this recession, it seems the US Postal Service isn't doing very well.

Recorded on at Echo Park Film Center on my (Sean's) birthday back in December, Episode 25 is a personal favorite. We lay into Tim Burtons beyond lackluster "Planet of The Apes" remake.
