Hi! It's Atus. Hi Atus! Get it? Yeah, okay. Dad joke over. You probably know the drill by now, but just in case you don't we're re-running all the S1 Conclaves during our S2-S3 hiatus because CERTAIN podcast aggregators won't make our back episodes available. In this one, Auntie Hope joins us in earnest and forces us all to scrutinize Ridley Scott's brother Tony's directorial debut, the lesbian vampire movie from 1984 "The Hunger." Get out the popcorn, folks. It's going to be a live one. Er, that is, an un-live one. Whatever.

Hiatus continues. Not for much longer, though. Just long enough to catch people up on our old material so they can understand the full flower of the story we're trying to tell since Big Streaming wanted to deny you all.
Here's Conclave #6, featuring Professor Andrea taking us on a journey through time and space as we explore her favorite fantasy film, 1981's "Time Bandits" -- otherwise known as "the film that made Terry Gilliam and almost broke George Harrison."

Guess what? Chicken butt! ...and our hiatus continues. We're re-running the complete set of Conclaves from Season 1, since SOMEONE at Spotify and other podcast aggregators decided to un-list our first season.
Here's Conclave #5, wherein Daniel Scribner takes us on a journey through John Carpenter's tribute to both Stephen King and H.P. Lovecraft, 1994's "In the Mouth of Madness."

Yep, we're still on hiatus. Good new stuff is coming, don't worry. Just relax and enjoy the complete run of Conclaves from Season 1, since Spotify and other podcast aggregators haven't been listing our first season. To that end, here's Conclave #4, featuring Alessa Luz Martinez playing André Luc Martinez, when we took a deep dive into the landmark 1956 sci-fi epic, "Forbidden Planet." This film was a major source of inspiration for Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek and launched the hardest-working robot in showbiz, Robby the Robot. This conclave concludes with an interview of a very special guest: Tim Russ, best known for his role as "Tuvok" on Star Trek: Voyager.

We're still on hiatus, which means we're keeping our promise to re-post the complete run of Conclaves from Season 1, since they haven't been appearing on many major podcast aggregators. Anyhow, here's Conclave #3, where Verifier Andy took us on a deep dive into the 1978 film "The Shout," Jerzy Skolimowski's *exceedingly* British psychosexual drama based on Robert Graves' short story of the same name. We conclude the conclave by interviewing our special guest Alex, a/k/a The Trash Shaman, a real-life student of the occult who has had experience with applying shamanic practices himself, with people escaping cults, and has dealt with charismatic con-men of the type portrayed in the film.

Continuing our post Season 2 hiatus, we're bringing you our complete run of Conclaves from Season 1, since they don't appear on a lot of major podcast aggregation services. Here's Conclave #2, held to scrutinize the Japanese Punk Zombie film from 2000, "WILD ZERO!"

It has been brought to our attention that our *entire* Season 1 run of episodes doesn't appear on a lot of different podcast aggregators. Well! We're going to fix that! Since we're on hiatus after Season 2 (Season 3 is coming, folks, don't worry!), let's get everyone caught up on Season 1, shall we?
Here, for your listenting pleasure, is the Compleat Naked Lunch.

Ever wonder how we got where we are? Recent events have caused Cinquisitor Ethan to reflect upon how we may have gotten there in a Field Report that examines one of the vilest sources of CINEMANIA yet encountered, Stanley Kubrick's 1972 film "A Clockwork Orange." Trigger warning: rape, abuse, fascism, psychological manipulation

For the conclusion of our Season 2 Lens Friend series, Daniel Scribner sits down with Alessa Luz Martinez to discuss her pick for Season 2, "Total Recall." These were some of the most popular and highly-rated episodes we've done to date, and Alessa explores her use of the framing story of those episodes as a tool to facilitate her public coming out as trans. Daniel also asks Alessa the same questions we asked one another in Part 1 of Lens Friends, and teases her pick for Season 3.

The members of The Cinemania Society step out of character to do a wrap up of Season 2, where they talk about the how the podcast has evolved over Season 2 (which was released over 2 full years!), how they've evolved & improved, which movies and episodes from the past season were their favorites, and give the listeners a few teasers about Season 3...

Just in time for Christmukkah, we bring you our 2024 Holiday Special! Scrutinizer Zacharia helps us ring in our own pending apocalypse with a Cinemania Field Report on the exceedingly British Christmas / Zombie Apocalpyse mash-up feature from 2017, "Anna and the Apocalypse."

In this episode, the Society wraps up its review of 1998's "Six String Samurai" and has its final showdown with Death Themself (tm). Will the Society survive? More importantly, will our sanity and sense of good taste survive? Find out in this, our Season 2 finale...
FEATURING SPECIAL GUEST STAR KEITH LOWELL JENSEN
The Cinemania Society will return later in 2025. We will have a few more miscellaneous episodes to wrap things up before the break, and then the occasional tidbit to tide you over until Season 3. Thanks to everyone for the support and for sharing this with friends. And if you haven't shared with your friends, why the hell haven't you already?! We've got over 100 episodes for them, so tie 'em to a chair* and make 'em listen to all!

Given that two of our recent field reports have remarked upon films from a particular year, Auntie Hope decided to take an extended dive into the year 1979 to present a Cinemania Field Report on what turned out to be a landmark year for CINEMANIA.

Lost within the world's largest smallest model of New York City, the outcasts find themselves on the run from their Final Destination. But not even Death Themself can stop a Conclave once the Clave's gotten Conning! The heretic rogues continue their analysis of Lance Mungia's "Six-String Samurai," a style-over-substance post-a'rockalypse samurai musical from the late '90s, starring Jeffrey Falcon (no, really!) and featuring a soundtrack by Russian Rokenrol group The Red Elvises.

Verifier Andy, Master Illuminator, presents a Cinemania Field Report examining Disney's 1979 foray into live-action sci-fi horror, "The Black Hole," and his own experience suffering a case of creeping CINEMANIA from (of all sources) a book about this film.

The remaining survivors exiled from the Strip Mall of the Damned find themselves in the world's smallest largest model of New York City. The place is in ruins, which leads Scrutinizer Zacharia to take the lead by proposing the latest conclave: Lance Mungia's 1998 film "Six-String Samurai," a rockin' and rollin' post-apocalyptic alternate future where a Buddy Holly lookalike strides across the ruins of the Old World seeking to claim the mantle of King.

Cinquisitor Ethan submits a field report about the 1979 film Lucio Fulci's "Zombie," a/k/a "Zombi 2," a/k/a "Zombie Flesh Eaters." This knock-off-slash-sort-of-sequel to George A. Romero's 1978 film, "Dawn of the Dead," isn't widely known, yet it's highly influential and features some grave sources of CINEMANIA.
