  • 401 The Fly (1986) Part 2
    Nov 1 2024

    On this episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha celebrate Halloween by traveling back to 1986 to finish their breakdown on THE FLY with Part 2 of their discussion. Directed and co-written by David Cronenberg starring Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis and John Getz and with a score from Howard Shore, the film is loosely based on George Langelaan's 1957 short story and the 1958 film of the same name. The Fly tells the story of an eccentric scientist (Goldblum) who, after one of his experiments goes wrong, slowly turns into a fly-hybrid creature to the horror of his journalist girlfriend (Davis). The film won an Oscar for Best Makeup and Goldblum's performance is an Oscar worthy one. The Fly is considered one of the greatest horror movies ever made. Steve and John walk you thru this movie scene by scene to break down the acting, direction, script, score and cinematography as well as discussing the themes and messages in the movie.

  • 399 The Natural (1984) Part 2
    Oct 19 2024

    On this episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha put on their New York Knights jerseys and travel back to 1984 to finish their discussion on THE NATURAL. A film we discussed early in the show's run and one that the fans have asked us to revisit and do a deeper dive on. Starring Robert Redford as the iconic baseball hero Roy Hobbs, Glenn Close, Kim Basinger, Barbara Hershey, Wilford Brimley, Richard Farnsworth, Robert Prosy, Darren McGavin, and Michael Madsen. Directed by Barry Levinson and based on the book by Bernard Malamud with a score from Randy Newman, the film was nominated for four Academy Awards: Actress in a Supporting Role (Glenn Close), Cinematography (Caleb Deschanel), Art Direction, and Music (Randy Newman).


    Steve and John go scene by scene thru this movie and explore the acting, direction, writing and the effect the film has on us today.

Must Watch/Must Listen

Do you love movies? Do you love talking about movies with people who love movies as much as you do? Do you love talking about specific moments that impacted you while watching a film? This is the podcast for you. As for the hosts, what can be said about these two gentlemen that hasn’t been said? Steve and John provide a careful and thoughtful analysis through conversation in every single episode of this podcast. They take the time when needed and explore the smallest of moments if it is important. They laugh often and genuinely listen to each other. They feel like friends, and on top of that I learn so much from each episode. I have listened to the Cine-Files for such a long time and have loved their evolution over the years and I look forward to many more episodes, years and laughs in the future.
