We love movies. Every week we spend countless hours viewing, meditating upon, and engaging in lengthy pseudo-intellectual discourse about movies--hours that probably should be spent doing something more productive. Eventually, we decided to start recording our conversations on a wax cylinder. While the medium may have not been the best choice for audio quality, we have managed to improve the technology so that our rants could be understood. And there was much rejoicing in the land (except from Steven's wife, who was terribly embarrassed about the whole thing).

Episode 322 - Cool Cat Saves the Beavers
Feb 2, 202000:58:57Tap to summarizeWe're joined by special guest, comedian Dan Kapr, for part one of our junk january in which we review two of the worst movies we could find: Derek Savage's supposed anti-bullying (but very pro-Derek) PSA, COOL CAT SAVES THE KIDS (2015); and the first animated feature to come out of Scotland (though they may want to skip that in the tourism brochures), SIR BILLI (2012), featuring the voice talent of a retired Sir Sean Connery. Sure, they're both terrible movies full of problematic content. They sure are. Join us next time for part two when we talk about RIKI-OH: THE STORY OF RICKY and SGT. KABUKIMAN N.Y.P.D.
Transcribe →Episode 321: Who Donuts & Chicken Boos
Jan 14, 202001:02:22Tap to summarizeWe had some trouble getting this one out before 2019's end, but here it is. We're discussing mystery movies, with a popular one currently in theaters and just today nominated for a screenplay Oscar, Rian Johnson's KNIVES OUT; and a documentary from a few years ago about one of the weirdest cases of identity fraud ever, Bart Layton's THE IMPOSTER. We have all new weird audio issues this episode, what with all the fairies flittering around Tom's head out there in Utah, so we hope you'll forgive us and wish us better luck in 2020. Speaking of 2020, join on us on our next episode, because it's our annual Junk January, and we once again will be reviewing some of the worst movies we could dredge up.
Transcribe →Episode 320: Yin Chien Yangdalou
Nov 28, 201900:48:01Tap to summarizeOur recording session was as WTF as the movies we watched. It's time for our annual WTF podcast, when we review the strange and bizarre--just in time for Thanksgiving! We kick things off with the O.G. WTF film, Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali's 1929 surrealist classic UN CHIEN ANDALOU. Next we jump to 2006 with Michael Arias' anime adaptation of Taiyō Matsumo's manga TEKKONKINKREET and discuss the concept of yin and yang. Then we bring back podcast favorite, Rubber writer/director Quentin Depieux, with his 2014 film REALITY. At the end, we look forward to a couple of movies about iconic artists Vincent van Gogh and Frida Kahlo.
Transcribe →Episode 319: Wait... That's Not Disney?
Oct 15, 201900:59:03Tap to summarizeBrian has first pick and chooses Don Bluth's wannabe Disney-princess film ANASTASIA (1997). Tom tears it to shreds and then switches to the opposite extreme to defend his pairing, THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER (1987). What makes both of these films terrifying fare for children? How does The Brave Little Toaster exemplify what's wrong with America? What does Nate's impression of a pissed-off Sylvester Stallone sound like? Find out on Buried Cinema as we ask the question: Wait... that's not Disney?
Transcribe →Episode 318: Everyone On This Podcast Has Nick Offerman's Face
Sep 19, 201901:09:06Tap to summarizeOur podcast this week consists of a college professor, a high school English teacher, a former science teacher, and a one-time substitute assistant pre-school teacher, but we all used to be high schoolers. Our movies this week are ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL (2015) and HEARTS BEAT LOUD (2018), both featuring Nick Offerman, which mixed with a certain recent popular deep-fake video gave our sound editor literal nightmares. We talk about death. We talk about racism. We talk at length (no pun intended) about Superman's codpiece. We make revelations about our own high school experiences. Join us as Buried Cinema goes "Back to School."
Transcribe →Episode 284: Nate Wants Seconds - The Whine Orgy [Throwback Thursday]
Sep 5, 201900:56:17Tap to summarizeNate chooses 'Alien: Covenant' to kick things off this month, and gives us the theme "seconds." We're all still a little hazy on why. Nevertheless, Kevin dug deep and chose John Frankenheimer's 1966 psychological thriller 'Seconds' starring Rock Hudson (segment begins at 32:24). And join us next week as we discuss 'Songs from the Second Floor' and 'Once.'
Transcribe →Episode 318: The Podcast of Sweat and Tears
Aug 26, 201901:07:41Tap to summarizeBrian chooses the alt-Superman origin story BRIGHTBURN, which just got released on home media. It's a movie about a little shit who discovers he has super powers and then turns into a little shit who kills people with his super powers. Next we discuss our first ever film submitted to us for review by a distributor (Rock Salt Releasing), Sonia Escolano's HOUSE OF SWEAT AND TEARS, a Spanish horror flick about an isolated religious cult. It's an indie horror twofer this week on Buried Cinema.
Transcribe →Episode 317: Classics We Hate
Aug 13, 201901:40:33Tap to summarizeBuried Cinema is nine years old. Usually we celebrate a milestone by reviewing some classic or tentpole of cinema. This year, we're going a slightly different route. We are reviewing classics, but each one of us picked a "classic" we hate. We begin with a delightful musical that musical fan Nate hates, 1954's WHITE CHRISTMAS. Next we discuss Brian's choice, one of the most egregious Best Picture Academy Award-winners ever, 1956's AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS (segment begins at 19:15). Next up is another Best Picture winner, and a deserving one, unless you ask Kevin, who hates 1965's THE SOUND OF MUSIC (begins at 41:01). Tom picked a "fun" war movie that nobody else even knew of, 1970 Clint Eastwood vehicle KELLY'S HEROES (1:01:45). Last of our despised classics is self-professed "sci-fi guy" Steve's pick of 1982 (or 2007, depending on how you judge these things) tech-noir standard BLADE RUNNER (1:19:28). Finally we look forward to a couple of animated movies that are NOT Disney... we think.
Transcribe →Episode 316: Men Talk About Tears
Jul 17, 201900:57:58Tap to summarizeWe said we'd be reviewing BRIGHTBURN, but that movie didn't burn bright so much as it did fizzle at the box office, so we're putting that one off till the home media release to try and be more timely. Instead, this week we're talking about Shirley MacLaine, because she's timeless! Tom picks MacLaine's 1966 film GAMBIT, co-starring Michael Caine. Nate, tasked with the theme of "'gambit' but it has to star either Shirley MacLaine or Michael Caine," goes with the broadest possible definition of the theme and picks the 1989 ensemble film STEEL MAGNOLIAS, starring Shirley MacLaine and five other women who aren't Shirley MacLaine. There is some confusion over members of our troupe disappearing and appearing throughout the podcast, and it's totally not because this is edited together from several different recording sessions. Our review of BRIGHTBURN will be out soon, along with our first review of a film submitted to us by an actual film company, HOUSE OF SWEAT AND TEARS.
Transcribe →Episode 285: Blessed Are They Who Sit on Their Beds Naked [Throwback Thursday]
Jun 11, 201900:52:03Tap to summarizeContinuing with Nate's theme of "Seconds," Patrick chooses 'Songs from the Second Floor,' a Swedish film based on the works of a Peruvian poet, because sure. Brian pairs the 2006 musical 'Once,' because he likes to be contrarian. (Segment 2 begins at 24:11.) At the end we look forward to next month's heist movies.
