SHOWNOTES: Get in loser. We're going podcasting. Mike from Mike, Mike, and Oscar joins us for an analysis of the 2004 teen comedy film directed by Mark Waters and written by Tina Fey: Mean Girls! As consistently hilarious as it is quotable, this movie is a favorite of millennials, due in no small part to its surplus of memorable performances and Fey's brilliant screenplay. You can sit with us for this review, but don't forget, on Wednesdays, we wear pink. And if you think our content is fetch, stay tuned for our 100th episode and Season Finale on Tommy Wiseau's The Room very soon!

Title(s): Reefer Madness (a.k.a. Tell Your Children, The Burning Question, Dope Addict, Doped Youth, Love Madness) [Wikipedia] [IMDb]
Director: Louis J. Gasnier
Producer(s): George Hirliman (1936), Dwain Esper (1938-39)
Writers: Arthur Hoerl (screenplay), Lawrence Meade (story)
Stars: Dorothy Short, Kenneth Craig, Lillian Miles, Dave O'Brien, Thelma White, Warren McCollum, Carleton Young
Release year(s): 1936 (original), 1938 (re-release)
PROMO: Cinema Recall (@cinema_recall)
SPECIAL GUESTS: Kevin and Erin Dougherty (@QueenErin), The Podcast That Wouldn't Die! (/tpodcasttwdie.bsky.social)
SHOWNOTES: We hope all of our ganja-enjoying listeners had a fantastic 4/20; we sure did! This stoner holiday, we blazed while watching the anti-cannabis propaganda exploitation film Reefer Madness! Originally released as a Christian picture titled Tell Your Children in 1936, then vulgarly recut as an exploitation film from 1938 through the 50s, this hilariously melodramatic flick was recontextualized as an unintentional satire in the 70s, and is ironically considered by many weed smokers one of the original stoner movies today. For our (belated) 4/20 Special, Beau and Ash are joined by returning guests Kevin and Erin from The Podcast That Wouldn't Die! in our discussion of one of the worst films ever made and the batshit insanity it unabashedly presents as factual in its campaign against marijuana. If you enjoy this special episode, stay tuned for our (also belated) analysis of Ghost in the Shell, as well as our next numbered episode on Doctor Who: "The Day of the Doctor", and... smoke it if you got it!

Title: The California Kid [Wikipedia] [IMDb]
Director: Richard T. Heffron
Producer: Howie Horwitz
Writer: Richard Compton
Stars: Martin Sheen, Vic Morrow, Michelle Philips, Nick Nolte, Stuart Margolin
PROMO: Movie Wars (@MovieWarsPod)
SHOWNOTES: Due to production issues, we are jumping ahead to our next episode ahead of Ghost in the Shell: we're reviewing the 1974 made-for-TV film starring Martin Sheen, The California Kid! This action thriller car movie is a blast to the past, filmed in the 70s and set in the 50s. While it may be one of our more obscure picks, Robert, Beau, and Ash tell you why we think it's worth a watch, not only for car enthusiasts but anyone interested in a TV flick with a rising star. We'll be back with Ghost in the Shell as soon as possible and then our next scheduled episode: the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special, "The Day of the Doctor"!

COLLAB: Collateral Gaming Video Game Podcast (@CGamingPodcast)
SHOWNOTES: Gotta go fast! ...Except we weren't. We sort of dropped the ball on releasing an At the Movies review while Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was in theaters, and we didn't mention it on the Year in Review episode, but since Collateral Media has covered both of the previous films, we just couldn't not talk about the latest—and possibly greatest—one. So, once again, Collateral Gaming joins Collateral Cinema for a discussion of Jeff Fowler's newest Sonic movie, and this time we can get into full spoilers! With the addition of fan favorite Keanu Reeves to the cast as Shadow the Hedgehog, and the return of Jim Carrey for not just one Robotnik role, but two, it's sure to be a blast! We'll have even more content out very soon, such as our Ghost in the Shell (1995) episode with the Retro Anime Podcast, as well as our analysis of The California Kid.

SHOWNOTES: 2024 saw the release of a plethora of new films! So many, in fact, we missed covering a lot on Collateral Cinema At the Movies. Just like last year, we decided to rectify that with a discussion on a few movies we watched together, quick reviews on several we saw on our own, and even a mention of a few that are still on our list. Finally, we wrap it up with our individual picks for Best Picture at the Collateral Cinema Awards! If you enjoyed our content in 2024, stay tuned for our episode on Ghost in the Shell (1995) very soon, as well as those on The California Kid and Doctor Who: "The Day of the Doctor" later this month.
