    S3E47 Bonus: The Princess Switch(es)

    Our Christmas grab bag may have dropped a couple weeks ago, but we’re not done with Christmas yet. Because he won our summer box office game earlier this year, Scott got to pick the December bonus episode. He takes us through a triple feature of The Princess Switch trilogy! Starring Vanessa Hudgens as a baker from Chicago, a European duchess, and the duchess’ mischievous cousin, The Princess Switch series has become beloved to a certain kind of Christmas movie fan. If you like your Christmas movies cheesy and of questionable quality, this is the series for you. Plus, Christian and Scott share some of their initial feelings on the news of the potential Netflix acquisition of Warner Bros., as well as Paramount’s subsequent hostile takeover bid. We also have Producer Lalo explain what Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution is. Do you enjoy The Princess Switch movies? Or did you watch them because of our show? Let us know at cinemaontappodcast@gmail.com

    S3E43 James L. Brooks: Broadcast News

    James L. Brooks continues as we look at the second film he directed, Broadcast News! This film also received a Best Picture nomination, and may be his most beloved film. Starring Holly Hunter, William Hurt, and Albert Brooks, this film centers on a love triangle that forms between three people working at a news network, while also featuring commentary on the state of journalism circa 1987 that has remained relevant over the years. Our hosts are both watching for the first time, and we break down the performances, the themes, and why this film is still so enjoyable almost 40 years later.
