Summary

On this episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha go back to 2005 to begin their exploration of THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN written and directed by Judd Apatow and starring Steve Carell, Catherine Keener, Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, Romany Malco, Kat Dennings, Elizabeth Banks and Jane Lynch. Carell plays the titular 40-year-old virgin Andy, an employee at an electronics store. Rudd, Malco, and Rogen play his co-workers who resolve to help him lose his virginity, and Keener stars as Andy's love interest, Trish. This film sparked a lot of hilarious and first time ever conversations from Steve and John as they go thru the movie scene by scene to break down the direction, acting, storylines, cinematography, score, action sequences and more.

0:00.0	You know what? I respect women. I love women. I respect them so much that I completely stay away from.
0:10.0	Hello and welcome once again to the cinefiles, where each week we enter the world of a great film. We explore its themes, the history, the filmmaking, and the influence it has on us today. My name is Steve Morris. I'm a filmmaker and directing instructor
0:24.8	in Los Angeles, California. Oh, Kelly Clarkson. Hello, everyone. This is John Roka. I'm a
0:30.9	writer-producer and voiceover host here in San Diego, California. And man, this is, I tell you what, Steve, we've been doing a lot of interesting films lately. And I suggest that we do this one because it was a 20 year anniversary. And I have to tell you, this feels like it's going to be one of the most unusual run of episodes that we've ever done on the Cineophiles. I'm looking forward to it. Oh, it's going to be something. And I'll tell you a little spoiler alert. It's, it's given me a fair amount of anxiety how exactly we're going to approach this thing. But before we do, we of course need to shout out to all of our supporters on Patreon as well as Apple Podcast.
1:11.6	Thank you very much.
1:12.6	We could not make the Cinefiles without you.
1:14.5	And if you want to get ad-free versions of the show or listen to our Cinefiles Short,
1:18.2	I think this week's Cinefile Short is going to be on sports as related to movies.
1:24.1	Sports Strategy and movie strategy.
1:26.7	That's coming up on Patreon and Apple Podcast.
1:29.5	So definitely sign up there to support the show. Yeah. Another way you can support us on the show
1:33.7	if you can't do the Patreon is to use the codes for the ads that you're during the commercial
1:39.8	breaks for the show. If any of these products or any of these services appeal to you,
1:45.8	when you hear us give you the code, please use the code because you'll get, A,
1:50.2	a discount on trying out the products, and B, you'll signal to these sponsors to keep
1:55.3	sponsoring our show because you're enjoying their products.
1:58.3	True Diagnostic was a really strong supporter of ours for a long time.
2:02.3	Washington Red Raspberrys. We have so many great supporters that come along in hymns.
2:05.9	So please make sure if it's something that applies to you that you use our code, you can get some money off of it,
2:10.8	and you get to show that these clients, they should keep supporting us here on the Cinefiles.
2:16.4	And before we get into the 40-year-old virgin, I think that the only responsible choice we can make
2:21.6	is to offer not one, not two, not three, but four separate trigger warnings, John.
