SHOWNOTES: Look alive, cinephiles! We got another classic flick coming right at ya', and that is the 1968 action thriller Bullitt, directed by Peter Yates and starring the late and great Steve McQueen! This was another pick by our cohost and resident car enthusiast Robert, who is joined by Beau, Ash, and Dakota in discussing the hyper-realistic cinematography, down-to-earth dialogue coupled with masterful performances, and excellent storytelling that selected this film for preservation in the United States National Film Registry on the grounds of being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". We also delve into the car chase scene considered famous in the world of cinema, the use of actual locations in the San Fransisco setting, and of course Mr. Steve McQueen's memorable career and fabulous filmography. If you enjoy this episode, be sure to check out the patron-only commentary we recorded just prior to recording this, once we release it on our Patreon and Podbean Patron!

Previously released on Collateral Gaming Video Game Podcast, this was a little extra we worked on together not too long ago for you cinephiles and gamers out there! In an effort to kick off the New Year, our offshoot gaming podcast wanted to produce a collaboration with us on something that had been trending, which we agreed presents itself as both a movie and a game in many ways—Black Mirror: Bandersnatch! For any of our listeners that recall it, this is a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-style Netflix original movie, in which the viewer (or player) guides the protagonist through a dark and twisted plot to develop a five-star game. Without spoiling the multiple endings and meta narrative twists in full, we discuss the value (or lack thereof) of this new interactive media adventure, with Collateral Cinema and Collateral Gaming taking different sides! We decided to go ahead and release this on both of our platforms so y'all can give our spoiler-free review a listen, and of course, you can still check out this movie/game for yourself on Netflix if you so desire. Stay tuned for content from both of our podcasts, including next week's brand new episode on Bullitt (starring Steve McQueen) from yours truly!
Collateral Cinema and Collateral Gaming are both on Apple Podcasts, Chill Lover Radio, Podcoin, and wherever else you get your podcasts. Also, find us on Patreon; we will have exclusive commentaries on our favorite movies and games soon!

PODCAST SHOUTOUT: 2 Girls On A Bench
SHOWNOTES: Greetings to all cinephiles everywhere! On this pre-break episode of Collateral Cinema, we decided to focus on something decidedly more light-hearted after our anniversary episode, so we threw on Monty Python and the Holy Grail, rolled up some blunts, and dove straight into the absurdist humor, political and religious satire, witty and memorable dialogue, outrageously funny and legendary scenes, amazingly well-acted performances, and highly original direction by Gilliam and Jones. We also cover the themes of existential absurdism, and recap how Holy Grail laid the groundwork for many generations of comedians and writers that make up modern comedy, and also go off on some tangents of our own! So grab your favorite smoke, charge up thy holy hand grenade, and come with us, as we celebrate this important and seminal film!

On our first episode of the New Year, we analyze the 2009 love letter to Star Wars, its fandom, and all fandoms in general: Fanboys, directed by Kyle Newman and starring Kristen Bell, Sam Huntington, Dan Fogler, Chris Marquette and Jay Baruchel. We truly enjoyed this cult comedy brought to the podcast by Robert, and we discussed the hilarious screenplay, true-to-life performances, amazing cameos by some of the best in nerd culture, the absolute care the movie shows in its portrayal of nerds and fandom, the many references to Star Wars and Star Trek, and how that magical time before the prequels were released was captured by the filmmakers. We also discuss Star Wars fandom in its current iteration, how its toxicity has increased in the decades since, and wherer the fandom and all other fandoms in general. So grab your lightsabers, put on your favorite character's cosplay, and join Collateral Cinema's celebration of this often overlooked work!

Afterwards, we discuss the many awesome aspects of Deadpool, including the insanely funny writing, the intense action set pieces, the many fourth wall breaks, the references to other X-Men and Marvel movies, and, of course, the love and passion that Ryan Reynolds put into bringing this character to life.

PODCAST SHOUTOUT: The Unwritable Rant, with Juliette Miranda (@MorningNeurosis)
SHOWNOTES: ...My god, Collateral Cinephiles, what have we brought upon ourselves? What evil forces came together to foist this detritus upon the masses? What fresh kind of hell does this movie hail from? What possessed Dana Carvey to write the 2002 wannabe kids "comedy" and cinematic weapon of mass destruction known as The Master of Disguise? It certainly couldn't be the overall humor, because that would imply there was something even remotely humorous about this shitpile. It couldn't be the many inconsistent performances and needless celebrity cameos that are peppered throughout this dreck, because that sort of thing would require some level of cleverness, or forethought to be used here! It must have been either a momentary lapse of comedic judgement, or the worst act of cinematic terrorism committed against the moviegoing public since Ghosts Can't Do It... But one way or the other, hosts Beau, Robert, Ash, and Dakota went to war with this monstrous excuse of a film for your amusement and for science... or something. (THIS MOVIE SUCKS; IT WILL HURT YOU TO WATCH IT—DON'T DO IT!!!)
