Our good friend, Connor, joins us to discuss #79 on the top AFI 100 list, "The Wild Bunch". Directed by Sam Peckinpah in 1969, it's a movie about horses and people running away from a railroad executive.Special guest is "Chema" Hernandez, un
What a time to be alive... if you were an executive in New York City in 1960!Thank goodness, we live in 2020 (and beyond, if you happen to listen to this later!)Did we make it better? You tell us!
We take stabs in the dark on who'll end up with the Oscars from this year's nominations! Peer into our souls! We dare you!
Like mighty gladiators, Matt, Harrison, and Liz slay your doldrums with insightful commentary and new scenes that would make even Spartacus say, "They are better!"Harrison said that it's #80 (it's actually #81) and he was so wrong about it.
The conceit of "We Made It Better" is that we think it can move up... provided there were some changes. AFI ranks this as #82 but after our changes, who knows?!Matt and Harrison make it better.
Matt and Harrison delve into the real world effects of Thano's snap aka The Decimation and what would happen if people came back 5 years later.
Heather is back! Maybe we'll just do episodes when the three of us are all together. Iceberg ahead?!We go through the wonder that is Titanic!
We went looking for the American Dream and we couldn't find it anywhere. "Easy Rider" is positioned as the best road trip movie by many. We take a long trip with this one as we travel with them to the Big Easy and then to parts unknown. We t
Our first entry on to the list from the legendary Marx Brothers! There's some nuggets of goodness from this movie although all I could think is that everyone associated with the film is probably now passed on.Tragedy + Time = ComedyEnjoy ou
Sorry about the sound quality on this one. I'm not sure what happened but if you like muffled, electronica -- strap on your diaper. For #86, we visit "Platoon". It's a harrowing look into the human animal situated in a war far from home.Cha
Afternoon Snack Paks is back! And we tackle whether or not justice was served in "12 Angry Men".Harrison gives thanks to his 7th grade teacher AND this website:http://www.avclub.com/article/did-i12-angry-meni-get-it-wrong-83245Also, Matt h
According to many people, this movie defines the genre of "screwball comedy". It's a pretty simple formula: add a couple of leopards, an heiress, a paleontologist, and a million dollars and you'll end up with hi-jinx galore! Christine Lin joi
There's actually going to be a "Love Actually" sequel coming out. Not as a movie of course. RIP Alan Rickman. You dodged a bullet.
Be break into the 80s on the list and what a way to do so! At first you think it's going one way and then BOOM we hit you over the head with a twist so awesome you have to completely recontextualize your life!!Enjoy!
It's been a long, long time but here we are in 2017. Unfortunately, we lost Heather to Chicago but we wish nothing but happiness for her as she hopefully finds her cousin, Balky.#90 is "Swing Time". It's quite a hoot of a film and there's a
Starring Meryl Streep, who gives a performance that's one for the ages, we follow the life of a simple woman named Sophie. Polish in origin, yet punished to go to Auschwitz, she's given an impossible choice. Thus, the movie.Anyhoo, Heather,
Here's a snack of the upcoming episode of "Sophie's Choice". We discuss we we do this. (Hint -- there's a lot of "e" involved.) Also, Matt goes out on a limb.
Are we only 10% done? The answer is no because I'm sure we'll probably end up pulling a "Love Actually" and doing other movies outside this list. But bear in mind, we don't do this for us, we do this for you.And we respond to our second ema
Clearly there's a romanticized view of mafia life in "Goodfellas". . . at least when they're not being pinched. Heather, Matt, and Harrison pick their sides.
A storied car chase through the girders of New York City defines a movie that unfortunately has not aged well. He's your uncle who got drunk at the family reunion and hit on your girlfriend. By the way, thanks for writing in, Brian, but you
Heather recounts when she met Roy Scheider! We're going to need a bigger player!
Apparently Harrison had no control over his levels. You'll hear some "clipping". That's what's it's called in the biz when the level of input "overwhelms" the recording and you get "loud static". Anyway, it's been addressed and I assure you
Harrison tells the others that he expressed his love of Cameron to her on a fateful night at Second City. He believes she's still waiting for him.BTW, this was a cut off the Pulp Fiction track that is still being edited. It's almost done.
For whatever reason, the recording quit just as we were finishing that's why it ends the way it does. Either that or we wanted the Inception ending -- are we just dreams or are we living in a reality?Well, if it's 1951 in the dying town of A
Movie released in 1989 and it still feels contemporary. That's a sad state of affairs but we're optimistic. Let's be aware of the dominant paradigm and look to change it!
