The Adventures of a Digital Sensei
Comics, movies, TV, and music.
This week the New York Cine team talks about the recent news that Sony and Marvel studios have come to a deal that will enable Spider-Man to officially join the Avengers and become part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In addition we also return with our special “Bit Rot” gaming segment in which we review the Retron 5, a console that plays NES, Super NES, Sega, and more! The guys and I Continue reading “NY Cine Radio: Spider-man & The Retron 5”
In the latest edition of the New York Cine Podcast we discuss a number of the recent Super Bowl movie trailers and what some of us non sports fans watched instead of the Super Bowl. In addition we interview the team from Cinema Under the Influence, Jon Hogan and Benham Jones, on why drinking Continue reading “NY Cine Radio: Cinema Under the Influence”
A few weeks back the New York Cine gang and I talked about filmmaker Roger Corman and his movie “The Shooting”. The footage above is a small video segment that we pulled from the earlier audio podcast. I consider myself fairly well versed in media and cinema studies topics but my knowledge about Corman was pretty rudimentary. One of the things that I truly love about being a part of this weekly podcast is that I always learn something new. It is great that each of hosts brings different interest and perspectives to the production.
I went with Jonas to the Knicks game this afternoon. My cousin has season tickets and gave Jonas the tickets as a Christmas present. I had heard from a number of people that the team was really doing poorly this year but I was unprepared for just how bad. The Knicks really suck.
The final score of the game was 110-82, which sounds better than it was in reality. They were playing against the Charlotte Hornets, a team that is currently 14-24, and were down by nearly 50 points at the end of the third quarter. I haven’t seen someone get their ass whupped that bad since I was a teenager and came in three hours late after my curfew. I told Jonas to go ask the Knicks coach if he wanted us to go and suit up. We couldn’t have been much worse.
The latest New York Cine Radio Podcast is all about the films of Sir Liam Neeson. The gang and I discuss Neeson’s “A Walk Among the Tombstones” and a host of his other films. We also review the films and career of noted independent film producer, director and actor Roger Corman. Finally, we round up the podcast by examining Continue reading “New York Cine Podcast: The Decline of Cable TV”
This week we welcome Ken Powell back to the podcast after a semester off to get that degree. Just one more final exam left and then he is done with school. In addition, this week I went from being a guest host to a co-host on the show, so if this whole professor thing doesn’t work out Continue reading “New York Cine Radio: North Korea and other Dumb stuff”
After attending my office Christmas party I headed to Mama’s Place Studio The new episode of the New York Cine Podcast. The gang and I talk about the latest on the Sony hacking scandal and a whole bunch of movies we reviewed this week. Most notably the Chris Evans Sci-fi film Continue reading “New York Cine Radio: Guest hosting again at Mama’s Place?”
Last night I schlepped over to Mama’s Place Studio in Astoria, Queens and guest hosted the weekly New York Cine Podcast. My co-hosts, Tom Seymour and Dave Leute, discussed the recent hacking at Sony Pictures, the new Star Wars and Terminator series trailers, and a whole bunch of other media and culture issues. I even introduced them to the Continue reading “New York Cine Radio: Sony and the Star Wars trailer”
This is part two of a podcast session that I co-hosted on New York Cine Radio a few weeks back. I had an opportunity to take the regular hosts, Tom Seymour and Dave Leute, through Ant-Man and the other newly announced films from Marvel Studios’ Phase 3 lineup. My inner nerd was singing.
Last week I had the opportunity to co-host the New York Cine Radio podcast on the upcoming Phase 3 movies to be released by Marvel Studios. The team at NY Cine Radio asked me to fill in for one of the regular hosts, Ken Powell, who is finishing up his last semester at college. I was slightly nervous about having enough to talk about, but luckily Marvel and DC had made a number of announcements about their movie and TV plans through 2020. The nerd world was in a total uproar over announcements Continue reading “NY Cine Video: Recap of the Marvel film lineup”
