1992 at the Movies: 1492 CONQUEST OF PARADISE

Thirty years of a Frenchman playing an Italian discovering America.

But not really. Perhaps even less impressive than the discovery of this great country is the decision to cover not one but TWO Christopher Columbus movies from the year of 1992.

Mistakes were made. Such as:

  • One host continuously mistaking one Scott brother for another. This is a Ridley Scott joint, not Tony's. Sad.
  • Returning guest Tangible Teddy continues to hate Italian accents.
  • He also hates former guest Dave Giannini.

Okay, so maybe that last one isn't a mistake. Enjoy!

1992 at the Movies: GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS

Thirty years of everyone hating Kevin Spacey.

The only closing you get on SOBER CINEMA is an explanation on how Jack Lemmon is a "soy boy" and a debate on if Ed Harris would be the best or worst co-worker in the office. Also if we have time we talk about Al Pacino having better bowel movements than perhaps anyone in the history of this planet. Naturally.

1992 at the Movies: THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS

The heat in 1992 was of course on The Great Madeline Stowe.

One host says that this movie is better than HEAT. The other two hosts, as much as they love Madeline Stowe, have to stay sharp. On the edge. Where they gotta be. They also may have confused this with Tom Cruise in THE LAST SAMURAI. Only you the listener can decide.

1992 at the Movies: CAPTAIN RON

Thirty years of boating and cuckolding.

The only reason we chose to revisit the year of 1992 in film is this movie and for a few reasons:

  • Mary Kay Place in a riveting family comedy shower scene.
  • Kurt Russell's hair and always sleeping with one eye open.
  • And to discuss our favorite hot dogs.

Naturally.

1992 at the Movies: SINGLES

Insult Bridget Fonda all you want but don't you dare misspell the drummer's name from the fictional band CITIZEN DICK.

Those are the rules here on SOBER CINEMA. Apparently one host's early 90s dream girl provides no charm in this Cameron Crowe look at grunge rock. This is among the many obscenities from this sweet little movie:

  • Bill Pullman with his professional misconduct of NOT recommending larger breasts.
  • Campbell Scott predicting a better basketball career for Xavier McDaniel over Sir Charles Barkley.
  • And lastly... Kyra Sedgwick's mouth. That's it. The greatest sin.

However this episode is declared the winner of our trilogy of favorites from 1992 which will continue with CAPTAIN RON and THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS!

1992 at the Movies: SNEAKERS

Thirty years of Robert Redford vilifying the bald.

Our official career retrospective episode on the work of Sidney Poitier is finally here as he is naturally compared to... Brad Pitt. Who is not in SNEAKERS. But Mary McDonnell is as the honeypot, River Phoenix as a simp before that was common vernacular (RIP by the way) and David Strathairn as a man that one host really has a problem with doing... well, anything. Also a timely update on the 2022 Eastern Conference Finals!

1992 at the Movies: HONEYMOON IN VEGAS

Thirty years of Nicolas Cage having outbursts.

Although HONEYMOON IN VEGAS is slightly more pleasant than his Oscar-winning turn in LEAVING LAS VEGAS. Your dedicated author of these show notes will not bring Elisabeth Shue into this fight as INDECENT PROPOSAL casts a large shadow over this far sillier version of a fiancee being sold as an escort to an older gentlemen by our leading men. It's safe to say that we also prefer Robert Redford to James Caan. And somehow Christina Hendricks gets brought into the conversation because why not?

1992 at the Movies: CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS THE DISCOVERY

Thirty years of Benicio del Toro being the best part of every movie.

Not that he's playing a nice guy here. But can one expect perfect gentlemen in a film on the exploits of Christopher Columbus. Well in 1992 this was the DEEP IMPACT to Ridley Scott's ARMAGEDDON as America got two dull movies on this jerk. So we open things up with suspecting our guest of abandoning podcasting for Only Fans and end the show when the beer runs out. Just as Columbus deserves. Enjoy a true Italian guest in Dave Giannini returning to promote his podcast OFF SCREEN DEATH and most definitely not an early celebration of Columbus Day.

1992 at the Movies: SINGLE WHITE FEMALE

Thirty years of actors from the sitcom WINGS wrecking havoc.

Or maybe it's starring in the unfortunate ABC mini-series of THE SHINING? Whatever the origin of evil we find ourselves suffering along with poor Bridget Fonda as that once sweet heartbreaker from FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH forms the worst co-parenting relationship over a dog. And then Jennifer Jason Leigh has the audacity to copy POINT OF NO RETURN's unfortunate haircut that no one of sound mind would mimic.

All of this AND THEN Stephen Tobolowsky plays the hero creep. Throw in returning guest Dave Giannini of OFF SCREEN DEATH and you'll be wishing for Steven Weber to show up again and bring us all sweet relief. Or something. Enjoy!

1992 at the Movies: RAISING CAIN

Thirty years of Brian De Palma making Hitchcockian events funny AND sexy.

Well... maybe the sexy comes up for debate on our anniversary episode for RAISING CAIN. What is not up for debate is that the Boston Celtics did not need the front court depth offered here by one idiot host (Jairo) in their 2022 playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks. We are nothing if not topical and on point as we continue to time travel back to 1992 at the movies. Some might say that this is the podcast that a quintessential STARZ cable movie like this deserves. And while we appreciate the hypothetical backhanded compliment we mainly thank you for the download. Continue to do just that at the links below:
