    The people asked, and The Cinematic Schematic is here to deliver. By popular demand, we return from our end-of-summer hiatus a week early with a bonus episode of the podcast for a fall 2024 movie check-in, including a pulse check on the 2024 box office and our top 5 movies of the year so far.

    In this special edition, we break the show into three segments:

    • 5:22 – 2024 Box Office Check-In and our top five movies of 2024 so far with Daniel Bokemper

    • 1:22:26 – GoodTrash Genrecast Garbage Chute review of Rebel Ridge with Dalton Stuart.

    This is the charcuterie board episode of the fall season. Whether you tune into one segment or devour each sampling, we hope this gets you primed for the fall spooky season.
