Welcome to This Is Cinema, the podcast that dares to ask the most important question of our time: Is it real cinema or just a theme park ride?

Join Carlos, a self-proclaimed movie enthusiast with zero credentials, as he talks about the latest theatrical releases, reacts to trailers with way too many opinions, and dives into the biggest (and pettiest) discussions in film. And if that’s not enough, each month, he picks a genre, horror, rom-coms, 80s classics, musicals, and more—watches those films for the first time, and delivers his completely unqualified verdict on whether they deserve the sacred title of cinema… or if they’re just another overpriced popcorn bucket.

So, buckle up for a wild ride of movie reviews and hot takes. This, is cinema. Or at least, it’s trying to be.
