This week on The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha wrap up 2024 with a compilation of their favorite Patreon shorts from 2024. These are shorts that are usually only heard by our Patrons, but we wanted to make them available to everyone and possibly motivate some of you all to join our Patreon who might be on the fence. On this compilation, we discuss RDJ's return to the MCU as Doctor Doom, the new auteur filmmakers in our cinemas today, how algorithms are affecting our entertainment and the films we are watching, a behind the scenes peek behind the curtains at how we make The Cine-Files and some topics we felt like talking about that day and we wrap up with our favorite FMK of the year! Thank you to everyone who supports, listens and/or promotes our show. We hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season and we wish you a Happy New Year!Don’t forget to support The Cine-Files at https://www.patreon.com/TheCineFilesPurchase any film we feature at https://www.cine-files.netFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheCineFilesPod/?ref=bookmarksThis episode is sponsored by/brought to you by the following sponsors:BETTERHELP.
