On May 6, 2011 the world accepted a fallen god in Chris Hemsworth... just Chris Hemsworth not THOR. But that was the big movie at the box office while another new release SOMETHING BORROWED placed fourth for the weekend. And while the latter film has a very competitive blonde in Kate Hudson, this romcom's charms of scheming and lying were just not enough to stare into the face of a god (with oddly dyed eyebrows)... that god being Chris Hemsworth. He's Australian. That basic bitch Hudson never stood a chance. Click here for eyebrow tutorials:

On April 6, 2018 the world was terrified by the varied facial expressions of Jim from THE OFFICE. And while this great man has produced many a GIF, one of our hosts thinks that John Krasinski's A QUIET PLACE is one big missed opportunity at the world's greatest fart joke. No such expectation was placed on our chosen forgotten film THE ENDLESS, as Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead just give another host fodder for his almost sexual obsession with David Lynch-like imagery. Overall these show notes do a good job of making this whole podcast sound unappealing. Click here:

Ten years ago on March 6, 2009 we got our first disappointing comic book adaptation from Zack Snyder. But instead of piling on we just embrace the glowing blue penis this misunderstood genius gave us in WATCHMEN. Which is more than we can say for our chosen forgotten film REUNION. Not. A. Single. Blue. Dick. This movie stinks, but we don't. Click here:

Still angry over GREEN BOOK winning Best Picture? Think it wasn't as good as a TRUE Farrelly Bros. classic like HALL PASS? Well then take a trip back with us to the weekend of February 25-27 when that film opened #1 at the box office against Nicolas Cage escaping hell in a fast muscle car from DRIVE ANGRY. And while Peter Farrelly may have an Oscar, we think our forgotten film featuring a gunfight with a fugitive from hell in the act of sexual intercourse could truly be The Only Best Picture.

Two 80s remakes released on Valentine's Day weekend 2014 but only one ends with an All-American couple having sex with a chicken mask on. Since this is an audio only podcast we include the clucking sounds but you should really watch ABOUT LAST NIGHT with Regina Hall and Kevin Hart.

Oh and the other movie was ENDLESS LOVE. It stinks.

On February 6, 2009 the world finally solved the problem of the battle of the sexes and for those that were not participating in the act of sex... well those poor bastards got a movie that finally ten years later celebrated the release of STAR WARS: EPISODE 1 - THE PHANTOM MENACE. In this very meta episode we bring on Star Wars fan Jason Michael of the Atlantic Screen Connection podcast to discuss the much maligned FANBOYS along with the advice from Drew Barrymore and company in HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU.

Twenty-five years ago on January 28, 1994 the world got not one but two noir thrillers. Our forgotten film RED ROCK WEST that opened on one screen to $11k starring Nicolas Cage doing one-armed pushups on the side of a desert highway... and the mainstream hit BLINK which opened to $4 million starring Madeline Stowe as a blind woman WISHING that she could see Cage in all his shirtless glory. Unfortunately she could not and this thriller features a whole lot of mansplaining as she tries to identify a serial killer stalking her which ends up being a lot less fun than seeing Nicolas Cage's honest(ish) everyman put through the ringer in an attempt for gas money. And in true SOBER CINEMA fashion this all ends up with a lot of butt play. More by clicking these links!

Thirteen years ago on January 20, 2006 the world was exposed to the endless war in two very different films. The box office hit UNDERWORLD: EVOLUTION was #1 for the weekend at 26.8 million dollars while the documentary WHY WE FIGHT opened on just six screens to 53 grand. One film presents a very complex issue of how violence and cruelty in the quest for power is passed down from generation to generation... and the other doesn't feature Kate Beckinsale in a catsuit.

We go back to earlier times of outrage (because you can't possibly be tired of that, right? RIGHT??) to Vince Vaughn being homophobic to cars and Dustin Hoffman being horny at his wife's grave.... these are the type of show notes one needs to grab your attention when celebrating the eight year anniversary of the release of THE DILEMMA and BARNEY'S VERSION. On January 14, 2011 these two films didn't set the world on fire no matter how much digital or actual ink our lead characters attract as abrasive guys who are actually trying to do the right thing.

Two years ago on January 6, 2017 the world welcomed with open arms yet another attempt by Hollywood to solve race relations once and for all. HIDDEN FIGURES, the story of three African American mathematicians who help put an American into space, opened to box office and critical success as it expanded into wide release. ACCIDENTAL COURTESY: DARYL DAVIS, RACE & AMERICA on the other hand opened to controversy and a weekend gross less than a MacBook Pro. So what three genius level black women couldn't do is left to three dumb dudes on a movie podcast to finally fix once and for all. On this week's episode of SOBER CINEMA will it be the mainstream release or the forgotten film that deserves your attention. On that note could you also click all of our links as well:
