For their 91st episode, two expat critics, two jilted dads, and two school teachers in a beautiful friendship, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, might not amount to a hill of beans, but, by golly, the can talk. This is a special treat for you folks where our two hosts have recorded a full-length commentary track for Casablanca. The 1942 classic celebrates its 80th anniversary and it's Don's #1 movie of all-time. That love and more comes up on this recording. Yes, that's us looking at you, kid.

PODCAST: Episode 90 of "The Cinephile Hissy Fit" Podcast

For their 90th episode, two alien film critics, two resurrected dads, and two road-tripping school teachers Will Johnson and Don Shanahan turn back the science fiction clock to talk about the beloved John Carpenter classic Starman. The fellas show their softer side while still regarding the great things that can come from a filmmaker going against the norm. Drive to the crater and get home with us after Thanksgiving!

MOVIE REVIEW: The Space Between Us

Call me a softy or a sunny optimist, but I will take "The Space Between Us" over the next "Percy Jackson and the Hunger Maze Runner City of Bones Games with the 5th Wave of Divergent Mortal Instruments." The YA movie marketplace is overfilled with militarized kid-on-kid peril in the science fiction department. “The Space Between Us” is cheesy, corny, and pretends to be better than it really is, but, gosh darnit, the film has a charming and positive core that is hard to ignore.

MOVIE REVIEW: Midnight Special

In the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the adjective form of "special" can be defined as "held in particular esteem" and "readily distinguishable from others in the same category." For a film to earn that distinction it has to do more than have the word in its title, as is the case with the Jeff Nichols film "Midnight Special." It has to possess exemplary qualities to revere that enable it to stand out from its peers. As one of the most striking, imposing, and spell-binding original science fiction films in recent memory, "special" is fitting trademark for "Midnight Special."
