Sidney Poitier Tribute & In The Heat of the Night
To say that Sidney Poitier was a towering figure not only in Hollywood but in the very fabric of our country is a vast understatement. At one time he wasn't simply the most important African American movie star. He was the only African American movie star. John and Steve take some time to talk about his life and his incredible career before re-releasing their conversation on one of his most important films, In the Heat of the Night.

259 Love Actually Part 1
There might not be another Christmas movie that is simultaneously more beloved and more criticized, than Richard Curtis' Romantic Comedy, Love Actually. This holiday tale follows 9 distinct love stories which vary from the serious to the silly to the downright ridiculous. And of course, we wouldn't think about discussing this movie without one of it's biggest fans, animation writer and producer and Geek Buddy, Michael Vogel.

The Craft of The Cine-Files: Shorts Compilation
John and Steve love answering your questions on Patreon.com/thecinefiles and lately there have been a whole bunch of questions that had to do with the work; filmmaking, podcasting, editing and interviewing and we thought we'd collect them all in this very special shorts compilation.
You'll hear Steve interview John about the Art of the Interview and John interview Steve for a few filmmaking tips.
They'll discuss the problems with the podcast and what they have done to improve the show over the years.
The Morality of Editing is complex topic and both Steve and John have a lot to say about what's right and what kind of cuts cross the line.
Finally, they discuss filmmaking safety and the tragic accident on the set of Alec Baldwin's film, Rust.
This is just a small sample of the kind of material The Cine-Files puts out every week on Patreon.

West Side Story and Tribute to Stephen Sondheim
This week on The Cine-Files we honor one of the most important composers and artists of the last century, Stephen Sondheim, by revisiting a conversation on the musical that brought him international attention, West Side Story for which he did the lyrics. This is one of our favorite conversations and we couldn't revisit this iconic film without inviting our guests, Milena Govich and David Cornue back to the microphone to put the life and work of Stephen Sondheim into perspective. This was a wonderful conversation. In fact, it was so good that we didn't want it to end. So, stay tuned Cine-Files for a much longer exploration of the man who changed musical theater forever, Stephen Sondheim.
