This week's suggestion comes from Ryan Lieb who asks about the future of the MCU. After all, there has never been anything like the MCU, a connected universe spanning dozens of movies and TV shows with complex crossovers that need to generate billions in revenue, or the whole thing can come crashing down. Now, with the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, the MCU faces its greatest test yet. John and Steve discuss the unique challenges of building a connected universe and what it means when the only way for a film to succeed is to break box office records.

On this episode of The Cine-Files LIVE, hosts John Rocha and Steve Morris celebrate the 500th episode of the show with Part 1 of their conversation on their favorite and most influential films from the 1920s to the 1960s. Part 2 which will cover the 1970s to now will be live next week. In this episode, they select one film from each decade to fit into those categories. Join us for this fun celebration of the show and let us know your choices! Plus, we answer all your questions, thoughts and comments on Streamlabs or SuperChat.

In this One Take, John and Steve revisit one of the most divisive films of the 1970s. Michael Winner directs and Charles Bronson stars as Paul Kersey, a liberal Manhattan architect. After his wife is murdered and his daughter is assaulted, Paul starts killing muggers at night. The film came out in the summer of 1974, when New York was gripped by crime and fear. It was a box-office smash, launched a five-film franchise and helped define the urban vigilante genre. It also started an argument that's never ended. Brian Garfield wrote the novel it's based on, and he hated the film so much that he wrote a sequel to refute it. Critics called it a fascist fantasy. Ten years later, Bernhard Goetz shot four young men on a subway train, and the press immediately called him "the Death Wish vigilante." So does the film endorse what Paul does, or is it a cautionary tale about a man coming apart? Is Kersey a hero or a symptom? And does a movie bear any responsibility for the people who cheer it on? John and Steve take it on in this week's One Take.

Some of the best Cine-Files Shorts conversations happen when Steve or John surprise each other with an unexpected topic. In this case, it was Steve who was thinking about how playing a specific role within a job, on a team or in society can be the most honorable thing a person can do even when some of that work goes against your beliefs. We need public defenders to represent criminals. You might hate your teammate but you still need to pass them the ball, and those volunteers at pointing places are making sure everyone gets to vote even the folks they disagree with. Of course, what makes these surprise shorts so exciting is that you never know where they are going to go and John, rightly, pointed out that while that is true, there is a time when you are honor bound to break out of that role. Sometimes, you need quit the job, refuse the order, and stand up against things you see as morally wrong. Which, of course, led to an even more interesting question. "How do you know when it's time to say, No.?"

On this episode of The Cine-Files, hosts Steve Morris and John Rocha finish their trip back to 1956 with the final part of their breakdown and analysis one of the greatest Westerns ever made and arguably one of the greatest movies ever made in 1956's The Searchers. Directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne, Natalie Wood, Jeffrey Hunter, Harry Carey Jr., Vera Miles, Pippa Scott, Lana Wood, and Ward Bond. The film is written by Frank S. Nugent and based on the 1954 novel by Alan Le May. It is set during the Texas–Indian wars and stars John Wayne as a middle-aged Civil War veteran who, accompanied by his adopted, partially Native American nephew (Hunter), spends years looking for his abducted niece (Natalie Wood). Steve and John recorded an episode on this film during the first season of the show that was just over an hour long, but they felt this movie deserved more than that. They go scene by scene thru this classic movie and discover new analysis and interpretations of the events in the movie thru new lenses and a new appreciation for it!

Most of the time, Steve and John plan out their Cine-Files shorts well in advance. Maybe they discuss a recent film like Tony or a great new TV show like Lanterns. They also get fantastic suggestions from their supporters on Patreon. However, sometimes they like to surprise each other, and this time it's John's turn to surprise Steve with a question about one of their favorite films, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Steve is always eager to talk Star Trek, but the question John asked surprised him. Why did the filmmakers let Khan die, believing he had won?

On this episode of One Takes, a new show from The Cine-Files, hosts Steve Morris and John Rocha dive in to discuss 1984's REVENGE OF THE NERDS. It is directed by Jeff Kanew and written by Steve Zacharias and Jeff Buhai. The film stars Robert Carradine, Anthony Edwards, Ted McGinley, and Bernie Casey. Set at the fictional Adams College, the film follows a group of socially awkward students who form their own fraternity to counter ongoing harassment from the dominant Alpha Beta fraternity and its sister sorority, Pi Delta Pi. It's a film that received generally negative reviews, with criticism directed at its sexual content and use of racial and gender stereotypes, though some reviewers praised its underdog premise and satirical elements. But in the decades since, the film has been reassessed as a cult comedy and a notable entry in the "slobs vs. snobs" subgenre of 1980s teen films. John and Steve navigate their way thru the film talking about what they still like about the movie, addressing the controversies, and pointing out its prescience and if the nerds, who are the people in charge of our world now, are making the exact same mistakes the jocks did in the movie.

In this Cine-Files Short, John and Steve dig into one of the most popular (and controversial) shows of the expanding DC Universe. Produced by Damon Lindelof and starring Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre, Lanterns is not the action-packed space adventure many people expected. It's a True Detective style buddy mystery with complex characters, difficult social issues, and plenty of ambiguity. Are John Stewart's parents heroes for raising their son the way they do, or monsters who obscure their abuse with righteous language? Is Hal Jordan motivated by racism, revenge, or something deeper we haven't yet glimpsed? Are the Manhunters an evil threat to the galaxy, as The Guardians suggest, or is it the Guardians we should mistrust? John and Steve explore all of this in this week's short.

In what might be the most controversial movie they've ever done, Steve and John go back to 1984 to discuss Revenge of the Nerds. Directed by Jeff Kanew with an incredible cast that includes Anthony Edwards, Robert Carradine, Ted McGinley, John Goodman, James Cromwell, Bernie Casey, Timothy Busfield, Curtis Armstrong and Donald Gibb, Revenge of the Nerds is simultaneously a heartfelt and positive movie about outsiders and a vertiable cavalacade of racial, sexist and homophobic stereyotypes, deeply insenstive jokes and multiple incidents of sexual violence that are frankly, inexcusable. Neither John nor Steve thinks Revenge of the Nerds is a great film, but it has its positive aspects and is certainly a window into a particular time and place. It's also fairly chilling when you consider that the nerds of that generation became some of the most powerful people in our world today.

Before the passport stamps and the CNN Emmys, Anthony Bourdain was a nineteen-year-old college dropout washing dishes on Cape Cod. That summer is the subject of Tony, the new A24 film from director Matt Johnson (BlackBerry), written by Todd Bartels and Lou Howe and drawn from the early chapters of Bourdain's 2000 memoir Kitchen Confidential. Set in 1970s Provincetown, it follows a would-be writer who takes a job at a seafood joint called The Flagship and discovers a whole other life. Dominic Sessa (The Holdovers) plays the young Bourdain, and critics have singled him out for catching the vulnerability under the swagger. Antonio Banderas is the magnetic chef who runs the kitchen, Leo Woodall (One Day) steals scenes as a line cook who can't stay out of trouble, and Emilia Jones (CODA) plays Tony's girlfriend Nancy. Reviews have called it warm, funny, and bittersweet, though some find the female characters thin. Bourdain was born in New York in 1956, graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in 1978, and spent two decades in New York kitchens before Kitchen Confidential blew the lid off restaurant culture and made him famous at 44. Television followed: A Cook's Tour, No Reservations and CNN's Parts Unknown, which turned him into something closer to a foreign correspondent than a food host. Tony is about the moment before any of that, when a kid who wanted to write found the thing he'd end up writing about. John and Steve dig into the film, the performances, and what it gets right about the man whose voice so many of us still miss.
