1992 at the Movies: FAR AND AWAY

Thirty years of Tom Cruise's hats getting no respect.

This episode is about horses and so we bring on a graduate of a horse university to discuss Tom Cruise's ability or lack thereof in taming the wild stallion that is Nicole Kidman in Ron Howard's FAR AND AWAY.

However one host has no need for equine experts and is more enamored with the boxing etiquette of a Scientologist while the other is oddly obsessed with Greg from DHARMA & GREG.

Wasn't Dharma from DHARMA & GREG also a Scientologist? None of these answers are in the show. Enjoy!

1992 at the Movies: LETHAL WEAPON 3

Just to be clear... thirty years later Mel Gibson is still Australia's doing.

Now that the elephant in the room is out of the way we get back to more topical podcast subject matter like declaring BOTH 1992's summer movie season and our 2022 Oscars recap special. We also feel very sorry for both Danny Glover the man and the character he plays in Richard Donner's (but NOT Shane Black's) LETHAL WEAPON 3.

Jairo insults another beautiful white woman in Rene Russo and we insult our listeners ears by preparing them for another questionable episode on Scientology and even worse a Scientologist on a horse in FAR AND AWAY. Among all these horrific things we also shine a light on last week's guest Dave Giannini and his podcast on LETHAL WEAPON 3 on ATTACK OF THE 3RD.

Awful all around.

1992 at the Movies: ONE FALSE MOVE

Thirty years of Billy Bob Thornton refusing to cut his ponytail even when on the run from the law.

God bless that man. Or at least that character (who knows what sins Mr. Thornton has committed.) Okay, so maybe not even his character in ONE FALSE MOVE for although he admirably hates children he also commits some other less noble crimes that lead him on a collision course with the greatest cop in Arkansas cinematic history: The Hurricane as played by Bill Paxton. One of the finest dumb characters ever committed to film we discuss this MTV Movie Award winner from Carl Franklin and how much we enjoyed it along with guest Dave Giannini of OFF SCREEN DEATH replacing a much hated co-host (Jairo.) Enjoy!

1992 at the Movies: POISON IVY

Thirty years of a child actor shocking us before retiring to a daytime talk show.

For our regular listeners we want to apologize for not being particularly aroused by one of the pioneers of 90s "slutsploitation genre" for we do not have our regular old man Jairo on this episode. Instead guest Dave "Hey Bobby" Giannini of OFF SCREEN DEATH steps in to tell the rest of the hosts about a time before WILD THINGS existed.

We choose to not believe in events before Neve Campbell and Denise Richards got in that pool but here we are; someone filmed it and we watched it. Now you listen and enjoy the titillation.

1992 at the Movies: DEEP COVER

Thirty years of Larry Fishburne having to field stupid questions from Jeff Goldblum.

But seriously... what is a brown shower?

To answer such a question we bring on our expert on bathing in Tangible Teddy from the offensive episodes of THE GRAND GESTURE. Along the way we actually watch a good movie in the month of April in Bill Duke's DEEP COVER. If you haven't seen it the clips included are carefully curated so as to just get us close enough to cancellation without crossing the line. Like we said... a good movie!

1992 at the Movies: MEDICINE MAN

Thirty years ago Dr. Melfi was just beginning a long career of watching grown men throw temper tantrums.

As you can see already (those few of you who appreciate the genius show notes) we would rather have been rewatching THE SOPRANOS than John McTiernan's MEDICINE MAN. Although one host has childhood memories of a VHS taping off of cable... he remembered the ants. The sugar.

But not the thongs.

This episode corrects that. Enjoy!

1992 at the Movies: SLEEPWALKERS

Thirty years of being absolutely positive that your high school transcript holds up to English teacher investigations.

This movie is silly and we disparage cats by the end of it.

Also too much sex talk for a movie about dorks who are afraid of the kitty.

All in all... not a bad Stephen King movie. Takes the bronze behind THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION and obviously THINNER.

Enjoy!

1992 at the Movies: STRAIGHT TALK

Thirty years of Dolly Parton proving that expertise is not needed on talk radio.

Thanks for that, Dolly. But also thank you for financially aiding a Covid-19 vaccine. So we here at SOBER CINEMA consider that a draw as we have our first experience of 1992's STRAIGHT TALK. Our research team had more experience with America's newest oldest sweetheart more in pictorials but even our jaded hearts have a tough time saying anything negative about this pleasant movie.

James Woods is the romantic lead though. That's not great. Enjoy our latest episode anyway!

1992 at the Movies: WHITE MEN CAN'T JUMP

Thirty years of Rosie Perez being thirsty and men just don't understand it.

But we do.

Well us and Siskel & Ebert. The natural progression of film criticism. What does that sound like?

  • A Peruvian voice is no authority for black culture in America as seen in the films of 1992.
  • So instead we rely on the two white guys on the show.
  • White men from Kentucky.
  • Who have no time to appreciate a man's California tan.
  • But can VERY MUCH appreciate Rosie Perez and her needs.

One thumb going up somewhere in our latest episode of SOBER CINEMA!

1992 at the Movies: BASIC INSTINCT

Thirty years of back and to the left with Sharon Stone sitting and smirking.

The above declaration of celebrating an iconic cinematic moment is a bit misleading as this episode is mainly about Michael Douglas and his lack of body hair.

Erotic.
