Aliens Is The Best Sequel That’s Barely Like The Original | CineFix Top 100
“Another glorious day in the Corps…”
1986’s Aliens blasted its way into theaters and began it’s quick ascent to the top of everybody’s “best sequels ever” lists. But the wild thing is, Aliens almost didn’t happen thanks to Hollywood’s famous accounting skills. Clint, Cal and Nick talk about Sigourney Weaver’s legacy on the cutting edge of mid-80s action stardom, the Pinewood Studios crew’s daily tea time walk outs and James Cameron’s super power for knowing the limits of what to show on screen and for how long.
Meanwhile, Dan’s Algorithm mostly comes out at night. Mostly…

Scorsese Made a Lifestyle The Main Character of Goodfellas | CineFix Top 100
“Funny how?”
1990s Goodfellas set a new high watermark for the gangster movie. The Martin Scorsese classic starring Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta (along with, like, half the cast of The Sopranos) portrayed a world in which the mafia life itself was the main character. Clint, Cal and Nick talk about the origins of the famous Copacabana shot, the most brilliant insert shots in the history of film, and how over Christmas that year you could see Joe Pesci in both Home Alone and Goodfellas in theaters.

The Empire Strikes Back Is The Father Of All Sequels | CineFix Top 100
“I am your (SPOILERS REDACTED)…”
The Empire Strikes Back was the sequel to a movie that helped change the way the film business worked. The continuing adventures of Luke, Leia, Han and the rebellion picked up where Star Wars left off and left it in a much darker place. Clint, Cal and Nick continue the season of family by talking about the one-man-financing approach to following up the biggest movie of all time, the technical wizardry of optical printing and how ILM’s new office building was included in the VFX budget.
Meanwhile, Dan’s Algorithm wants to know who’s scruffy looking…

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade Is The Looney Tunes of Archeology | CineFix Top 100
“I’ve got a lot of fond memories of that dog…”
Welcome to season 4 of the CineFix Top 100! We’re starting with a fun one and everybody’s favorite globetrotting archeologist’s dad. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade capped the original trilogy of Indy films by producing a cold open origin story that’s worth studying in grad school and getting back to what made the fedora and whip so instantly iconic. Clint and Cal welcome their new co-host, Nick Limon to the show by chatting about long lenses on smooth roads, being a mirror image of Raiders of the Lost Ark and how the sheer momentum of the film makes you look right past the simplicity of the plot.
Meanwhile, Dan’s Algorithm told you to stop calling it ‘Junior’…

Eyes Wide Shut Is The Most Complicated Part of Stanley Kubrick’s Legacy | CineFix Top 100
“Fidelio…”
We’ve got one more special episode of the CineFix Top 100 before we dive into season 4 proper, and this week we know the password and we’ve got our mask on tight. Eyes Wide Shut is the last film by legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in a film with a truly unique legacy. Clint and Cal welcome special guest and CineFix behind-the-scenes all star Tanner Smith to talk about why it’s one of his favorite movies of all time, the unique photochemical process Kubrick and “Lighting Cameraman” Larry Smith used to achieve the dream like look of the film, and why the movie might only work with a real-life married couple on the brink of divorce in the lead roles.
Meanwhile, Dan’s Algorithm knows that there is something very important that we need to do as soon as possible...

Cinefix is the first podcast from the long-standing, movie-obsessed YT page, CineFix. Compiled from their personal top 100s by some sort of robot algorithm they don’t really understand, our resident film nerds Clint Gage and Michael Calabro plan to discuss one of the top 100 movies each week with one catch: they don't know what movies are on it or where they rank!
