  • 411 Best of THE CINE-FILES Shorts for 2024
    Dec 27 2024

    This week on The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha wrap up 2024 with a compilation of their favorite Patreon shorts from 2024. These are shorts that are usually only heard by our Patrons, but we wanted to make them available to everyone and possibly motivate some of you all to join our Patreon who might be on the fence. On this compilation, we discuss RDJ's return to the MCU as Doctor Doom, the new auteur filmmakers in our cinemas today, how algorithms are affecting our entertainment and the films we are watching, a behind the scenes peek behind the curtains at how we make The Cine-Files and some topics we felt like talking about that day and we wrap up with our favorite FMK of the year! Thank you to everyone who supports, listens and/or promotes our show. We hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season and we wish you a Happy New Year!

Must Watch/Must Listen

Do you love movies? Do you love talking about movies with people who love movies as much as you do? Do you love talking about specific moments that impacted you while watching a film? This is the podcast for you. As for the hosts, what can be said about these two gentlemen that hasn’t been said? Steve and John provide a careful and thoughtful analysis through conversation in every single episode of this podcast. They take the time when needed and explore the smallest of moments if it is important. They laugh often and genuinely listen to each other. They feel like friends, and on top of that I learn so much from each episode. I have listened to the Cine-Files for such a long time and have loved their evolution over the years and I look forward to many more episodes, years and laughs in the future.
