Welcome to episode 14 of Psychosocial Cinema..........it's been a minute, hasn't it? I say that a lot around here, but sometimes good things come in small batches, but boy oh boy do we have a film to discuss this evening; American Beauty! I am joined by fellow creative, Alison Harrop Ryan, from Cinemadness Podcast, as we attempt to dive into what this film means to the both of us and the impact it still has all these years later. It's a somewhat heavy discussion, but for a movie like this, I am not sure you can do it any other way. Thanks for listening, pardon the foul language in this week's intro, but for what it's worth, it made me laugh as this episode took a long time to get out. Until next time; take care!

Episode 014 | Alison Harrop Ryan | American Appearances - The American Beauty Discussion

If one movie is forever it's...BATMAN FOREVER! Welcome to your Halloween 2020 episode, specifically, Episode 13, of Psychosocial Cinema! In today's episode I am joined by my good pal Steven Biscotti as we discuss one of our all-time favorite films, Batman Forever. For some people who read this I wouldn't fault you in the slightest for questioning my taste in movies, however, Batman Forever holds a special place in our hearts. As kids who grew up in the 90s it was a major event, and a treat, to be gifted new Batman films in the cinema. Fast forward to 2020, and not only has the landscape of cinema changed due to the pandemic, but DC is no longer the go to comic brand, if you will, when it comes to major superhero experiences at the theater. I invite you to sit back and to grab some socially distanced candy while enjoying episode twelve; it's better than drive though or caffeine! You know, because caffeine, it'll "kill ya"!   Here are links to Steven's various works at these locations; go support this fellow, he's a gem and his energy for various fandoms is contagious: Universal Monsters Universe: http://www.universalmonstersuniverse.com/ The Saturday Morning Superman Show: https://saturdaymorningsupermanshow.podbean.com/   Please connect with us between episodes on social media and feel free to follow us here: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/psychosocialcinema Twitter: https://twitter.com/PsychosocialC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/psychosocialcinema/ I am utilizing PATREON as a unique vehicle for monthly support.

Episode 013 | Steven Biscotti | Cinema Enigma - The Batman Forever Discussion

"I'm going to fight it, but I'll let it live. What about my dynamite?" - Steve Welcome to Episode 12 of Psychosocial Cinema! In today's episode I take a reflective dive with fellow creative, Danfinity, into the whacky, and oddly poignant, depths of Wes Anderon's The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Our conversation surrounding the Life Aquatic is as eclectic as the crew who comprise The Belefonte. Where we could have stayed to the shallow end, Dan and I venture to the deep end of life and share some personal experiences that nicely tie into some of the beats encountered within the film.  With that being said, if I could afford some diving gear I would supply you with it, but unfortunately all of our grant money has been revoked...I kid. Thankfully I am not Steve Zissou and this is not the final voyage of this podcast. To that end, strap in, grab some dynamite (please don't), and for all that is pure and wonderful in the ocean, don't blow up any Jaguar Sharks.  Here is a handy link that will connect you with all of Danfinity's current projects, including his Twitch channel where he routinely offers up good times and help to his viewers: https://linktr.ee/Danfinity Please connect with us between episodes on social media and feel free to follow us here: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/psychosocialcinema Twitter: https://twitter.com/PsychosocialC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/psychosocialcinema/ I am utilizing PATREON as a unique vehicle for monthly support.

Episode 012 | Danfinity | Remember Me - The Life Aquatic Discussion

Welcome to episode 010 of Psychosocial Cinema, and to all of you who have stuck around this long, thank you. Today's episode has been a long time coming and was recorded quite some time ago with a buddy of mine who I used to do some volunteer work with a number of years ago, Seth Wilmor. Little did I know how much I would walk away with when I felt the urge to invite him onto the show, as this is a great interview. In episode 010 we talk about the movie ONWARD, a title so fitting that not even Disney / Pixar could have aniticipated back in March how much the world was about to change; alas, here we are and what a timely movie for Seth and I to discuss this week.  Within today's episode we go over some heavy topics, as usual, but I encourage you really check out the movie in question and give it a fare shake when you get the time. Prior to recording this episode I had fallen asleep twice trying to make it through the movie for various reasons; that said, viewing number 3 was the golden ticket, and man, did Pixar stick the landing with me. Onward manages to run parallel to some difficult situations I am still going through with my family and while recording this episode I found some great respite in speaking to Seth as to why this film is special to him. I feel like I could write a lot more about this little film, but why don't you go watch it and come back for a listen? If you have already seen it, well, buckle up, grab your wizard's staff, and don't forget to bring along a Legends of Yore rule sheet; danger is close and we need our wits about us! Without further ado, True North - The Onward Discussion!

Episode 010 | Seth Wilmor | True North - The Onward Discussion

Welcome to episode 009 of Psychosocial Cinema! For this month’s final episode we are taking a deep dive into the film, WIHPLASH. A core theme that we explore from this movie is the very focused question of: What does it mean to be one of the greats?  No matter your hobby, profession, or the calling you may perceive over life, we all chase after personal greatness...but at what cost? Today we are joined by one of the coolest dudes I know, Gandhi Rodriguez, for a sobering conversation on what our own concepts of “greatness” look like while also navigating this intense theme for the film’s protagonist, Andrew.  This episode was a lot of fun to record, but on the other side of this podcast coin is a rather sobering discussion of mental health and personal failure. As a warning, much like with every episode it would seem, we go into some really heavy stuff on this episode, not only as it pertains to WHIPLASH but also to my life and some issues I was facing in 2019. A lot of things have changed since this episode was recorded, but I will leave that for another episode…...   Without further ado, please enjoy, “One Of The Greats: A Whiplash Discussion”.  Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/psychosocialcinema Twitter: https://twitter.com/PsychosocialC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/psychosocialcinema/ I am utilizing PATREON as a unique vehicle for monthly support.

Episode 009 | Gandhi Rodriguez | One Of The Greats - A Whiplash Discussion

Welcome to episode 008 of Psychosocial Cinema; since our last episode a lot has changed with the world. Many of us have been hit with unexpected trials ranging from things that are controllable, along with things that appear to be totally out of our control. To that end, the subject matter of this episode is quite timely and I am rather pleased that I can get the podcast up and running again after a short break with this particular film. I am joined by good friend, and fellow computer game advocate, Eric Goebel, as we tackle the film, The Road. This episode tackles some topics including depression, suicide, and morality, as the film in question deftly handles these subjects in a somewhat unrelenting, emotional manner. The reason I use the word unrelenting is due to the opposition that our protagonists face throughout the film. Whether it is mother nature or treacherous humans, Man and Boy have a lot of soul searching to do and a lot to uncover as they travel towards their uncertain safety. Please join Eric and I as we venture down The Road; pun most certainly intended.  Please connect with us between episodes on social media and feel free to follow us here: Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/psychosocialcinema Twitter: https://twitter.com/PsychosocialC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/psychosocialcinema/ I am utilizing PATREON as a unique vehicle for monthly support.

Episode 008 | Eric Goebel | Carry The Fire - The Road Discussion

Welcome to episode 007, for the first episode of February I sit down with fellow friend / podcaster, Adam Corcovilos, from the show, Cinemadness: The Podcast! Together, we story our history in trying to watch the film ALIEN 3, and now, as adults, we will story our memories and regale you, the audience, with some fun, and depending on how much you love this series, maddening tidbits about the film's troubled production! This may have been director David Fincher's first theatrical release, but there is something undeniably alluring about the film ALIEN 3.  This episode contains adult language / themes surrounding the film's narrative and is definitely not intended for younger audience members; parents, use some caution if you have seen this film. To that end, the subject of suicide comes up again as it pertains to the heroine, Ellen Ripley, along with some brief discussions on the rapid loss of loved ones. Alien 3 is not the happiest of films, and without going into too much here, it is clear that this film had a lot stacked against it in order to bring about something fresh for the ongoing franchise.  Without further ado, welcome to episode 007 "Three Times The Production Troubles - The ALIEN 3 Discussion"! While you're at it, please go check out Adam, Alison, and Roman on their show, Cinemadness: The Podcast!

Episode 007 | Adam Corcovilos | Three Times The Production Troubles! - The Alien 3 Discussion

Welcome to episode 006 of Psychosocial Cinema! In our first episode for the month of January, in our new year of 2020, I welcome back a fellow friend and guest of the show, Steven Biscotti! Together, we tackle one of our favorite franchises, the Alien Legacy series of films! More specifically, Alien Resurrection, as both Steven and I are very big fans of this particular entry in the series, flaws and all, and do our best to tackle some of the themes that may have been overlooked at the time of its release while also diving into why newer fans are connecting with the film in ways audiences did not back in 1997. Strap in, you're now a crew member of The Betty, do you dare to listen to the entirety of this episode? Whelp, only you can answer that question, and if you have made it this far, congrats, I love you and the time you're taking to support this show. Mental Health themes that are touched upon in this episode: Generational trauma and symptoms related to a Dx of PTSD. Later on in the episode, Piaget's four stages of cognitive development for children are briefly touched upon as we discuss the newborn / Alien hybrid creature featured at the end of Resurrection.  Heavier topics of death / suicide are briefly touched upon as well as it pertains to an overarching theme found within the Alien legacy of films. Nothing too heavy here, but, a warning is always warranted.   Without further ado, enjoy episode 006: Does That Compute? - The ALIEN RESURRECTION Discussion! In this episode I was able to pull some fun facts from an article I found for Alien Resurrection here: https://www.criticalhit.net/entertainment/20-years-later-heres-20-facts-about-alien-resurrection-that-you-may-not-know/ Along with some cool toy facts about the film from a Youtube video detailing the Hx of Kenner / Hasbro Alien-related figures here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8lQF-CnV3g&t=208s Enjoy!

Episode 006 | Steven Biscotti | DOES THAT COMPUTE? - The Alien Resurrection Discussion

Welcome to episode 005 of Pscyhosocial Cinema! In, possibly our only, episode for the month of December I chat with two good friends of mine, Kristin and Geoff Sholler, about a film series that is dear, and divisive to us all, STAR WARS! As we approach this week's release of the final chapter in the Skywalker Saga, what better time to discuss the impact these films have had on us. Join us for another rousing discussion where we tap into how to navigate this fandom, social media boundaries, and how to hold true to what you enjoy, even when it may not be the cool thing to do. As always, this podcast is a safe place to discuss films and I realize that the Sequel Trilogy garners a lot of different responses. You are allowed to enjoy these films, you are allowed to not like them. All I ask is respect for varying opinions and having an open dialogue versus a closed one when it comes to how we choose to enjoy Star Wars as a whole.  Somewhat joking / serious tone aside, this week's episode was a fun one to record and I hope you all enjoy it leading up to your screening of The Rise of Skywalker this weekend!

Episode 005 | Kristin and Geoff | FORCE OF NATURE - The First Star Wars Discussion

Welcome to episode 004 of Pscyhosocial Cinema! In our first episode for the month of November I chat with Steven Biscotti about a character who is near and dear to the both of us, Superman.  As a character Superman spans generations, both animated, live action, serialized, you name it! My guest this week is a bit of an authority on this character and it is an honor to sit down with someone who is passionate not only about the hero in question, but more so what Superman's legacy on film represents, hope.  Steven and I have a candid conversation about the film, Man of Steel, and why it is so important to the both of us. Often times I have found myself wondering why this incarnation of Superman did not land well with audiences, but at the end of the day, regardless of mass appeal, it is this movie's central them of "hope" that has stuck with the two of us all these years later.  Sit back and relax as Steven and I sail across an ocean of stars to hone in on why Man of Steel sticks the landing. As always, it is my hope that anyone who takes the time to listen finds some enjoyment and respite.  Here are links to Steven's various works at these locations: Universal Monsters Universe: http://www.universalmonstersuniverse.com/ The Saturday Morning Superman Show: https://saturdaymorningsupermanshow.podbean.com/   Please connect with us between episodes on social media and feel free to follow us here: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/psychosocialcinema Twitter: https://twitter.com/PsychosocialC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/psychosocialcinema/ I am utilizing PATREON as a unique vehicle for monthly support.

In our first episode for the month of October we sit down and talk with Tampa Jay about a film that has helped define a new season of adventure in his life. Sit back and enjoy a candid conversation about mental health and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Tampa Jay sits with me and discusses how this movie has played a role in shaping a new paradigm of thought that sees him seeking out new adventures and earnest ways to connect with people around him.  Jaysun and I also share a candid conversation about mental health and how Ben Stiller's character, Walter Mitty, can shine as an example of positive mental health.

Episode 003 | Tampa Jay | Negative 25 - A Secret Life Of Walter Mitty Discussion

Welcome to episode 002 of Pscyhosocial Cinema! In our second episode for the month of September 2019 we sit down and talk with a good friend of the show, Ryan Hendrix, about one of his favorite films, Hereditary. Being a fan of director Ari Aster's work, Ryan guides me through some reasons why the film really speaks to him on an artistic level. This episode's conversation does feature some elements of mental health along with some humor to help us tackle the themes presented within the film. As a forewarning, things do get pretty deep and this is an adult conversation not suitable for younger listeners. It's hard to put Hereditary into any one category, but that is what makes cinema special and today's episode unique. Without going into too much detail about the conversation you will find within, it is safe to say that this is a heavy movie. Upon my first viewing, as a mental health professional in training, I found it particularly difficult to watch, thus making it a hard film to recommend if you are not prepared for something heavy. As a film lover it is easy to recommend for the technical craft on display, but viewer be warned, Ari Aster's foray into trauma-based horror is not for the feint of heart.  Please connect with us between episodes on social media and feel free to follow us here: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/psychosocialcinema Twitter: https://twitter.com/PsychosocialC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/psychosocialcinema/ I am utilizing PATREON as a unique vehicle for monthly support.

Episode 002 | Ryan Hendrix | Family Ties - A Hereditary Discussion

Welcome to launch day and the first official episode of Psychosocial Cinema! Here are some shownotes for you to peruse for a wet and wild discussion of one of Hollywood’s greatest oddities: Waterworld! Eric LaForest / Porcelain Backsplash - The mastermind behind my show’s intro music and sound palete. Here we learn some back story on Eric’s love for cinema and Waterworld.  Next, we discuss how, if it is even possible, to dissect Waterworld and make sense of it in modern times. Does Waterworld actually parallel modern day events…..did it predict Global Warming!?! We round out the show by talking about some memories we have of the film along with a pretty dope detour in the concept of human mutations (super powers) and how Kevin Costner’s “The Mariner” character served as a jumpstart for some pretty imaginative thoughts back in the day.  Now, what would an initial episode be without some gnarly shout outs: Girls Rock Camp - https://www.facebook.com/Grcstpete/ Eric’s wife, Amanda (AKA The Peach Moon), plays a pretty cool role in helping young ladies in St. Pete who attend this camp to learn some awesome skills, both musical and Intra / Interpersonally speaking.   Gigglewaters - Social Club & Screen Room - https://gigglewaters.com Our launch party is being / was held at this gnarly screening room where a showing of The Rocketeer took place in honor of this podcast’s launch. The best part of this screening room is their movie-themed menu and drink selection that compliment whatever flick they showcase. Most recently we saw ROBOCOP and I enjoyed a Robo-Shot; it was delicious. Thank you Gigglewaters for being a part of Girls Rock Camp’s silent auction, we were more than happy to donate to their efforts and secure this private screening.  Please connect with the show in-between episodes on these social media platforms: Twitter: https://twitter.com/PsychosocialC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/psychosocialcinema/ Finally, I am utilizing the wonderful platform that is PATREON for fans of the show to subscribe to the podcast at different tiers of entry; we would greatly appreciate your time and consideration in making the production process for this show a sustainable reality: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PsychoSocialCinema If you would like to buy a copy of the extended cut of Waterworld, produced by Arrow Video, here is an affiliate link to Amazon where you can secure a copy; disclaimer the podcast will receive a tiny portion of this purchase to help fund the show's production costs.
