Better late than never. Recorded back in 2018, Mr. Zulueta and I discuss the Oscar-winning Spike Lee joint “Blackkklansman.” I saw this film in the theater, and was not only late in reviewing this movie, but we’re also late in releasing our chat about it! However, in the year 2020 this movie is just as meaningful and as impactful as it was when it was made, and as relevant as the time of the original story. Power to the people! — Chuck

Captain's Log, Stardate 8.2020-- in this first episode since the COVID-19 pandemic quarantine began, we are back to discuss a couple of treks to the stars. We take a look at the latest of the Star Trek reboots, "Star Trek Beyond," as well as the original 40+ year-old "Star Trek: The Motion Picture." Are these bold additions to the Star Trek cannon? Or do these feel more like a hangover after a bit too much Romulan Ale? Mr. Zulueta go where plenty of others have been before, but...you know...with more flare! -- Chuck

Well, who woulda thought?! Did you imagine that the would ever, EVER make an entire movie based on The Joker? When they announced this film last year, there were lots of mixed feelings. But when the trailers showed up, people began to think a bit differently about the Todd Philips directed "Joker," starring Joaquin Phoenix as Author Fleck. And what to Mr. Zulueta and I think about this motion picture? Is it a great Joker story, or is it just a joke? We go long on this one to break down the artistic and social relevance of a super-serious comic book movie. -- Chuck

After an extended hiatus, A/K/A busy at the day job, Mr. Zulueta and I are back with our review of one of the most anticipated movies in the last 10 years-- Avengers: Endgame.

Is this film worth the wait? Or was this just a waste of time? SPOILER ALRET: It's definitely not a waste of time (all 3 hours of it), but....listen to find out! -- Chuck

In this latest episode of Cinepod Moviecast, Mr. Zulueta and I have a chat about Alfonso Cuarón's Roma, which premiered on Netflix in December 2018, and has gone on to win several awards, including a few Oscars. It's a personal, and gorgeously photographed B&W film which Cuarón shot himself (show-off). Is this film as great as the critics and the awards claim it is? Or is it just artsy nonsense? --Chuck
