Our Black Christmas journey comes to an end with a (kiss kiss) bang! What should have been an instant classic, 2016's The Nice Guys is instead capping off the Cinema Roast Bunch's look at the directorial work of writer/director Shane Black. As we delved deep into the film, trying our best to recap and do it justice, our appreciation only grew. Lightning in a bottle, this. Just a shame he never directed anything after this...

Black Christmas is approaching its peak with a look at the hysterical 2005 murder/mystery that put Robert Downey Jr. back on the map and graced us with perhaps the best performance of Val Kilmer's career. This raucous, vulgar, and hysterical romp through the crime and snark-ridden streets of 2005 LA is as delightful as it is sharp. If that wasn't enough, breaking down the film's central mystery may be our biggest cha...

As the Black Christmas train continues to roll, the Bunch takes a quick stop at the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a revisit of Shane Black's directorial "one for them" that is still undeniably his. Did this threequel deserve the scorn it got, or is it secretly one of Marvel's best movies?

It is a solemn day for the Cinema Roast Bunch... As the crew embarks on their (Shane) Black Christmas voyage, they encounter their biggest obstacle yet: a film so bad that it nearly tanked its franchise forever before being miraculously resuscitated in 2022 thanks to the efforts of one Dan Trachtenberg and his remarkable return to form Prey. Despite the usually sharp pen of writer/director Shane Black, who famously starred in the o...

This week, the Cinema Roast Bunch delves into the macabre and twisted world of cults. Religious, spiritual, outright bat-shit crazy groups hell bent on making your skin crawl and an easy recipe for edge-of-your-seat cinema. Grab your candles, dear listeners, and join us for a wide-ranging ride of movies filled to the brim with Kool-Aid-submerged veneration.

What movies stress us the hell out, but keep us coming back for more? It is time to dive deep into the most muscle-tensing, heart-pounding movies that we, despite the terror, could easily go back to for seconds. Be it the existentialism of time itself, or the unyielding toil of toxic relationships, here at the CRB, we are gluttons for punishment...

This week, what begins as a cautiously interested first look at the star-studded, Steve Martin and Debra Winger-led dramedy leads the Bunch down a rabbithole of theology, morality, and frustrating ambiguity about the film's own theological motives. The crew certainly dissects its message and portrayal of religion and those who practice it, but more importantly, how they feel about the whole thing to begin with?

This time, the Bunch checks out James Cameron's 1994 comedic spy thriller starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis just in time for its 4K release. Along the way, some of the worst impressions that have ever been attempted are unleashed onto an unsuspecting populace and for that: Listener Discretion is Advised. Is this Arnold's best role?
