This week we start a slew of Erotic Thrillers with the first name you think of when you think erotic and thriller, Jim Belushi. We watched Traces of Red! A trashy movie set in the swamps of Florida.

Hey everybody, welcome back to Myopia Movies.

This week we’re tackling an action-silly Nicolas Cage classic: Con Air. And honestly—if you’ve never seen it before, I almost want to tell you to stop and watch it first… but our discussion is good enough that you’ll survive either way.

Fair warning: this episode got chaotic. So chaotic, in fact, that our newly married editor and panelist, Nur Chernnet, had to cut nearly 15 minutes of material. We went completely off the rails. What you’re hearing is the best of what survived. We hope you enjoy the wreckage.

As always, keep listening, keep subscribing—and now for some big news.

If you’re listening to this when it drops (mid-January 2026) and you’re in the Metro Atlanta area, make sure you follow CineProv on Facebook. At the end of the month—the final Wednesday—we’re launching a brand-new regular CineProv show. Even better, Keiko and Jeremy, two members of the Myopia crew, will be debuting their first show that night. Go support them. It’s going to be great.

This week on Myopia Movies, we learn a valuable cinematic lesson: you can be absolutely slovenly and still be the hero of a movie.

Directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak
Starring: Karl Urban, Rosamund Pike, Dwayne The Rock Johnson, DeObia Oparei, Ben Daniels

Enjoy this early Christmas Present! This week on Myopia Movies, someone needs to save Christmas and we know just the corporate spokesman, know-what-I-mean? We watched Ernest Saves Christmas, Animal Control and Air Traffic Control in the same film?!?!?! Vern…

How will Ernest Saves Christmas hold up?

Panel: Lauren and Jeremy

This week on Myopia Movies, we watched the classic story where an outsider falls in love with an indigenous person and tries to protect them and their land. Ok, not Pocahontas, no, not Ferngully. Ok, not original, but valuable property that somehow earned itself a land in Disney World and now has four sequels coming out, including one this weekend. We watched Avatar, where large cat people have intercourse with trees via their ponytail. Well done, Jim Cameron. Well done.

How will Avatar hold up?

Panel: Keiko

Directed by: James Cameron

This week on Myopia Movies, we watch an entire town kick around a illiterate little person for 75 minutes. We watched Eight Crazy Nights, we tried to keep it festive, but Adam Sandler giving a TBI to the protagonist after the musical number about how great the mall is, was the best we could do. Happy Hanukah!

How will Eight Crazy Nights hold up?

This week on Myopia Movies, we watch a millennial Christmas Classic, Jingle All The Way! Bathe in the 1990s nostalgia as we visit trampling people for toys, malls, and toy stores. Also, Phil Hartman’s masterclass on seducing a woman away from Arnold. 

How will Jingle All The Way hold up?

Host: Nic

Panel: Keiko, Nur, Candice, Matthew, and Jeremy

This week on Myopia Movies, we learn how the world became entranced with Henry Cavill and started to fall out with Zack Snyder. We watched Man of Steel home to the world’s most vindictive Pa Kent and the one where Superman kills thousands in his final fight.

Happy Thanksgiving from us at Myopia and safe shopping and travels today!

How will Man of Steel hold up?

Panel: Keiko, Matthew, Nur, Alex

First, take a beloved musical from the 1930s and let it age on a shelf for forty-plus years.

Second, strip out all the songs.

Third, turn it into a waking nightmare.

This week on Myopia Movies, we dove into Return to Oz! Isn’t it delightful when Creepy Kids Month syncs perfectly with a blockbuster release like Wicked: For Good? Though honestly…this movie might be memorable for entirely different reasons. Not good ones—just…reasons.

How will Return to Oz hold up?

Panel: Charlie, Alex, Keiko
