The '80s were a very unique decade for film. We decided to take what we love about '80s films and try and create our own '80s film and picking the cast of our dreams. The results were nothing short of RADICAL!

Oct 4, 2016

This week the Cynics discuss movies that best used the fourth wall break. The fourth wall is the imaginary wall between the actors and the audience. Breaking it means you, the audience, are now essentially part of the story. It is not often used, but it can be very effective if done properly.

Last time we turned non-horror films into horror films. This time we try to turn serious films into something funny and/or ridiculous. The only rules were we had to change the original film's title and at least one actor.

Aug 11, 2016

This is our first mini-episode. It consists of a few random conversations and one of the funniest moments of our earlier years: Mike's spelling mistake. Our very first logo was posted as "Sivler Srceen Cynics." That was amazing!
