    ep. 21 Sophie's Choice/the Killing of a Sacred Deer

    HO BOY! Get ready to make the ultimate choice this episode as Nik and Ethan forgo all sense and reason and do a joke idea they came with well over a year ago when the pod was in its early stages. Our two victims this week? Sophie's Choice (1982) and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017). Will cinema make it out alive? or will Barry Keoghan force our hand?

    ep.20 The Dead Poets Society/The Holdovers

    Pencils ready, you little cretins! Class is in session and now that you're back to school (those of you who have BOTHERED to get a proper education that is) the enlightened bozos at DOCPOD have a a little question: If movie A (The Dead Poets Society) is followed by Movie B (The Holdovers) then is C (cinema)= Dead or Alive? Hm? Well I won't give you the answers, stop trying to cheat and for once in your miserable lives, do something of MEANING. Next time: Sophie's Choice (1982) The Killing Of a Sacred Deer (2017) Linktree:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/deathofcinema⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Theme song is Czarda, by Vittorio Monti, as performed by the USAFB https://www.salon.com/2014/02/26/the_dead_poets_society_takeover_of_america_how_memes_ate_our_politics/

    ep. 19 Scrooge/A Muppets Christmas Carol

    Cinema is dead, to begin with. But Nik, on another trip between the realms of living and dead, must end the scourge of Santa and maybe...save christmas? ruin christmas? Hard to say, but they'll be looking at movies of christmas past, Scrooge (1951) and A Muppet Christmas Carol (1992). Are these but shadows of films that could be, or must cinema decrease the surplus population?

    ep. 18 The Grinch Who Stole Christmas/The Grinch

    all the listerners in podville liked the grinch a lot... But in the DoCPod studio Nik and Ethan did not! With a cling and a clang the microphones came out, ready to fiight and ready to shout, and the movies they are loathe to talk about? How A Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) (with Carey as the brute) and don't forget The Grinch (2018) as the rancid reboot! Will Cinema be naughty or nice? listen on dear viewer, and roll the dice!

    ep. 16 Dances With Wolves/Avatar

    Nik wanted to do Avatar for Fire and Ash and it fit in the best in November! That is why we're doing these films okay! We are aware of the optics and did our best, but flame our asses if you want! Decide for youself if the white saviour will keep cinema alive or if like the social impact of Avatar, cinema shall return to Eywa!
