Citizen Kane VS

Citizen Kane VS

Three film enthusiasts, Daniel Benoit, Jack Rennie, and Sean Jacklin, watch two similar films a week. One a classic, the other is generally considered to be on the schlocky side. Over each episode they battle it out and ask themselves honestly . . .which is better?! Special thanks to Chris Maddever for the artwork from S2 on!

March 6, 2023 • 98 mins

What Make Story Good? - CKVS Podlet

February 20, 2023 • 39 mins
Story good? How story be good? We give surprisiningly little insight into what we think makes a good cinematic story. Is it the script? The direction? Or maybe it's nothing emperical at all and it's just mushy movie magic that makes our brains go yay. Happy Family Day!

Requiem for a Dream vs Noah

February 6, 2023 • 71 mins
All the mother issues wrapped into one solid and terrifying episode as we delve deep into the mind of Darren Aronofsky. The old testament was a lot like the Marvel universe, and drugs are bad are just some of the hits this week so hit play and enjoy!

The Tournament of Losers

January 9, 2023 • 84 mins
It's January Madness, except unlike the NCAA the performers in our bracket actually got paid. 32 of the worst films go head to head in a bracket playoff format to determine once and for all which film we've reviwed is the worst film in CKVS history?

White Christmas vs Saving Christmas

December 25, 2022 • 83 mins
Oh boy. A beloved paternalistic rah rah America Christmas classic goes up against a paternalistic theocratic propaganda film. It gets ugly. This one is sprawling, if you've got some holiday travelling to do then this is the ep for you! And to Kirk Cameron, may the yuletide log slip from your fire and burn your house down. Happy Holidays everyone! Our gift to you . . .

Superman vs Black Adam

December 12, 2022 • 100 mins
The one that started it all vs the one that might end it all? At least for DC. Apologies for Sean's mic, things were screwy. You can still hear him but it's faint at times (maybe that's for the best?)

Labyrinth vs The Maze Runner

November 28, 2022 • 96 mins
Round and round and round we go, in a maze of bad acting and bold choices we throw a truly beloved classic against a mostly forgotten Hunger Games clone to see which will find the secret at the centre of the puzzle or something or other.

The Neverending Story vs Legend

November 14, 2022 • 79 mins
It's Fantasy Adventure Month! Mostly because it's starting to get cold outside and we'd like to pretend we're in a realm surrounded by fantasy monsters, rather than the monsters we have to deal with on a day to day basis irl. Luck dragons fight the devil, puppets fight Ridley Scott, and the film industry begins it's long tradition of hiring people based solely on whether they make Tom Cruise look tall or not. Enjoy!

Dawn of the Dead(s) vs Chopping Mall

October 31, 2022 • 81 mins
Are we just mindless zombies purchasing our way through existence? Are malls the most dangerous places in the world? DID JACK WATCH THE RIGHT MOVIE?! We (in theory) compare Romero's classic zombie flick with a schlocktacular horny teen horror film. You'll want to bite into this one . . . get it? Like zombies bite. HAPPY HALOWEEN!!!!!

The Wicker Man (1973) vs The Wicker Man (2006)

October 17, 2022 • 82 mins
Spooptober is here again! What do you do when the crops fail? Well we're all gonna find that out pretty soon, but here's a couple of cautionary tales. Hot tip: Bear costumes, while entertaining, are not great for hand to hand combat.
