We’re Sameerah and Cecilia, two lifelong film obsessives with a love for the strange, the stylish, and the subversive. When we set out to make a podcast that spans everything from grindhouse grit to arthouse auteurism to blockbuster bombast, we knew we didn’t want a name that played it safe.
CinemaHo3s is a reclamation. It’s playful, provocative, and rooted in the idea that loving film isn’t reserved for gatekeepers or critics with monocles and film degrees. We're here for the ones who grew up watching late-night cable, renting five-for-a-dollar horror tapes, or sneaking into packed summer premieres.
The name is a wink to the fact that we’re ride-or-die for cinema in all its forms, and that we’re not afraid to call it out when it’s trash. Or treasure. Or both.
No pretension. Just passion. That’s CinemaHo3s.
Sameerah
Hailing from the darkened forest of suburban Ohio, Sameerah spent far too many years toiling on various digital marketing plantations. She left the plantation in 2024 to pursue a life as the Heavy Metal Hausfrau. Where she expected to enjoy a life of late mornings, museum lunches, and immersing herself in other creative pursuits. But much like on the corporate digital marketing plantations, being the Heavy Metal Hausfrau wasn’t nearly as fulfilling as she would have liked. So, Sameerah ditched her partner, dove back into freelancing, and is now on a journey to make her coins away from the digital plantations by talking about movies with her best friend.
Sameerah brings her love of horror, filth and depravity to the Cinemaho3s. Along with a sharp eye for fashion, production design and a writers’ ear for shitty dialog and poorly written scripts.
Cecilia
Gayfully unemployed and gloriously unbothered, Cecilia ditched the tech world with zero regrets and a lot of opinions. After years of surviving Slack threads, pointless product meetings, and startup jargon, she’s now chasing coin the old-fashioned way, by talking shit about movies with her best friend.
Cecilia brings a lifelong love of cinema, a sharp eye for the absurd, and a soft spot for the messy, misunderstood, and magnificently terrible. This podcast isn’t just a passion project, it’s a protest against boring jobs, bad scripts, and the belief that you don't need a film degree to know what the hell you're talking about.
