Looking for what to watch this Spooky Season? Molly joined us for today's Cinema Bun to discuss what our October viewing TV/Movie list has been like, what to watch, what to skip, and what we want to get to before the clock strikes midnight on Halloween, and we return to cheery programming that we don't have to watch during the daytime with all the lights on 👻🎃

Season 3 premiere:

Reboots/Remixes/Recycled Content...We love it...we hate it....we love to hate it! Bringing back Cinema bunday monday for season 3 with a chat with my wife, Kim, about non original content in film & TV. Is there any merit in recycling content? Is it always a cheap cash grab? Can something be great if...

26/10/2021

The most personal podcast I've ever recorded: https://anchor.fm/cinemabuns/episodes/The-Trauma-of-Bly-Manor-How-Horror-Can-Give-Voice-to-Unspeakable-Things-ep--37-e19bmj3

This bunday's pod is about Trauma as depicted on screen thru the horror genre. I'm looking specifically at the show Bly Manor, and occasionally sprinkling in a few Hill House references.
What'd y'all think of the show? How did it hit you? What did I miss? I know I did not say much about the children, and there's a lot more to go into there, but I wanted to focus on the big stories that super fit into PTSD symptoms.

Also I'm watching Victoria Pedretti on YOU season 3 right now and I needed to record this before I got confused and started mixing up her characters haha

21/10/2021

What movie do you think we watched last night? Hint:check the candle 🎃💀

Also turns out dumpling miso soup is the perfect fall film feast 🍲

What would you vote?

All I know is I voted ✅ to keep watching because it was AMAZING 👏🦑
Hoping to do a Cinema Bun Pod on it soon but not even sure what to begin to say because there's sooo much to discuss about it 🤯

(This week's bun is still in the oven but should be out soon! Sorry for delay. We always wanna make sure we don't rush the baking process and churn out a half baked bun. When it's hot and gooey and ready to go it'll be arriving fresh for your ear enjoyment...hopefully by friday this week at the latest)

24/08/2021

Kim Barker and I spent much of this week's Trekkie in Training episode trying to figure out why the episode was called "The Naked Time" but then I remembered Sulu looked like this most of the episode so maybe that's my answer 🤺🤺🤺🤺

Psst...New ep dropped today!
Breeanna and I take a look at the way trauma is depicted in The Handmaid's Tale and we get excited at the prospect of unleashing our rage unapologetically 🤯

Breeanna and I discuss the gals of Gilead and wanting to be as confident as a boy! Warning: this episode is on the mature side of content; we discuss emotionally heavy material like sexual assault and PTSD. We are discussing Season 4 of Handmaid's Tale from this spring and how accurately and brutall...

22/07/2021

All caught up on Handmaid’s Tale? This Bunday (Monday) we’re gabbing about the gals of Gilead and the realistic depiction of trauma on the show.
Get excited for my awesome guest Breeanna who is a big fan of the show and was deep in the theories and speculation with me (anyone else think Fred may not be Serena’s babydaddy?) 📺
