Saving Private Ryan (1998)
The Cinematic Viewers are a group of individuals with a common love of film. We discuss movies using our contrasting backgrounds to guide our unique decisions resulting in a debate or discussion of some kind. We break down not only the dialogue and plotlines, but also directorial decisions and framing to try and grasp the thought process and message of the director and writers. A movie is a glimpse into a creator's mind that often challenges our personal beliefs or values by viewing a situation through a character. It immerses a viewer into a world crafted by a person with a vision and can result in quite a memorable experience. We, the Cinematic VIewers, take those experiences and unpack why they were so impactful or memorable. We strive to learn through our varying views and hope to come out of each discussion with a new understanding of one another. In this episode, we discuss 1998's Saving Private Ryan.  NOTICE: Saving Private Ryan for R for intense prolonged realistically graphic sequences of war violence, and for language. It is not appropriate for younger audiences.

Escape Room (2019) + Escape Room: Tournament of Champions (2021)
Cubix is a club focusing on all movies and tv shows puzzle-related. The miniseries our group will be creating will be centered around both 2019 and 2021 Escape Room films, Escape Room and Escape Room: Tournament of Champions. Despite these films both having relatively low budgets, they had massive earnings in the box office from their release years, becoming huge successes. Our podcast aims to discuss many of the big personal and debatable questions from both movies. The first escape room movie is centered around five strangers who participate in an exclusive escape room to earn money. These rooms are soon revealed to be deadly, as the contestants are pitted against each other in a fight for their lives. The second movie starts a couple of months after the first. We find one of the two surviving protagonists wanting to move on from the incident while the other is still hellbent on shutting down the company. This results in the start of the “Tournament of Champions”, where viewers meet a few new characters once broke free from their own individual escape rooms.
