The Penn Cinema Podcast

We did it! We went out in public and didn't get chased back into our cave. Let's put that in the books as a win. For real though we held a super fun live event at The Red Rose International Film Festival. A couple guests from the film industry stop by to talk shop, concrete proof that Pirate Dave exists is revealed, and David gets dragged across the coals for his lack of Star Wars love. 

A big thanks to all the people who came of for the show and to those who took time to hang out and chat it up after! We're looking forward to more opportunities in the future to do things like this. 

If you want to get in touch with the show with answers, comments, or random questions shoot us an email: Podcast@PennCinema.com

Don't crash into those lesser podcasts! Follow our voices to "safety". We have mixed emotions about The Lighthouse and lots of exciting announcements. Come see us LIVE at The Red Rose Film Festival this Saturday 11/2 at the Hilton in Lancaster City, PA. Things will kick off with a audience interactive show form 11:30 am to 1:30 pm on the second floor. Then at 2:30 pm join Penn and Cheila of Zoetropolis Cinema Stillhouse for a panel on Film Exhibition moderated by ya boi David.

The Lighthouse Spoilers: 52:47 - 1:02:32

Can a Bill Murray cameo take a movie from OK to Great? Zombieland 2 sets out to put that question to the test. In other news Star Wars announces the release date for the final trailer for The Last Jedi and Marvel shakes things up with a big move for Kevin Feige. Plus Penn warns David he might be put in Time Out if he doesn't shape up. All this and more in episode 39!

Zombieland 2: Double Tap Spoilers: 52:52 - 58:18

We're firing all pistons this episode as we introduce sound effects to our repertoire. If you have any suggestions for good effects send them to Podcast@penncinema.com. And I guess if you're here for non-sound effects related things we also have your fresh off the press news for this week. Plus it wouldn't be a good trailer week without one of the trailers being from a movie that already came out. To top it all off there's two reviews this week! We breakdown Mister America and Gemini Man. One of these movies has daddy issues and the other features a EDM DJ. Can you figure out which is which? 

Gemini Man Spoilers: 56:47 - 1:03:23

We can finally talk about Joker: The good, The bad, And the deeply disturbing. As if that wasn't enough to tackle in one week pretty much every news story possible happened this week and to add the cherry on top an avalanche of trailers hit us. 

There was also some great listener comments this week. Remember if you'd like us to read and respond to your thoughts send them over to Podcast@PennCinema.com

 

Joke Spoilers: 1:00:30 - 1:12:33

It's a relatively quite week as the world prepares for Joker. I say relative, but there's still a few big things to talk about including Jurassic Park and Spider-man news and the new movie Home Alone 4: Rambo: Last blood. Plus we find the trailer for Penn's new favorite movie!

Don't forget you can write in your thoughts, reviews, and jokes about David to Podcast@penncinema.com

We love trailers, that's not secret, but what happens when a trailer builds up a movie that is different then what you get? We explore that in Ad Astra. Also, some people are calling this the best episode yet! OK, well one person is. And that person is Penn. But hey, someone had to say it. He was just the first. 

Ad Astra Spoilers:

It's an ultimate showdown for our attention this week! Who will win the wonderful Downton Abbey or literally the worst movie trailer we've ever reviewed? Plus Penn officially turns 21 and Face/Off is finally getting the remake no one asked for. 

Production Note: Our editing PC went down this week and with it temporary loss of our intro and outro. Things should return to normal in the next episode

We've got some big announcements this week. Come see us LIVE at the Red Rose Film Festival and we're planning a meetup in October to see Spirited Away. More info on both to come. Also Penn lays out a challenge for our listeners and the conspiracy theories around Pirate Dave continue to grow.

IT Spoilers: 1:00:35 - 1:07:31

This week we take a trip east and dip our toes in the magic that is Bollywood film. David brings a colorful review of the film Saaho playing for a limited time in IMAX. Also this week: Will Ray go to the dark side? Have we seen the trailer for The Aeronauts before? And will there be an IT Chapter 3? All these and more questions will go unanswered.
