And this is the Big Picture and Conversation Show about 20. 2010 again. That's right. It's our first ever redraft. So CR is here. He's always here drafting. We've done this draft before. We have done this draft. Just us? Just the three of us. It was the first ever draft, which was conceived, created, and executed amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. And the three of us did a very good job. That's a very weird podcast when you go back and listen because we're like, oh, hey, good choice. Nice job. Terrific job by you. The drafts were where our sense of hostility.

No, that was Deacon's Hall of Fame. Oh, okay. But then we were banished to our separate screens for the COVID-19 pandemic. And we were kind to each other for like three to four months. And then you drafted Iron Man three and the gloves came off. That's true. Every June, we bring together a sacred quartet of contributors to the draft. This is the third consecutive June.

I'm really happy Van Lathan is here. Mallory Rubin is here. Joanna Robinson is here. Rob Mahoney is here for the most elite podcasters that work at the ringer in the office today. And 2010, you guys were not a part of 2010. Rob, why don't we start with you? Young buck that you are.

2010, what was going on? What was cooking for you? Who were you? I was in college. Okay. I was flying a lot of basketball. I was blogging a lot of basketball. And I was going to see a lot of these movies

at an Austin-based movie theater chain that we no longer talk about. Because we were horns up. I mean, we're always horns up. Yeah. Okay, so you were an Alamo attendee on the reg. Back when that used to be an okay thing. Back when that was something I was proud of. You were basket blogging in college? Oh, yeah.

That's how you do it. What was the... On your parents dying while they're paying for school. Parlay it into a blogging job post-graduation. Was that Mavs and stuff? Like general NBA back then? Yeah. It's all over the place. I was league. I was a junior in college with league pass. That was a normal thing to do. How much did it cost then? Honestly, a reasonable amount. Okay. Yeah, I think it's

like $70 or something. It was like $70. Yeah. That's good. Affordable. Um, Joanna, 2010, what was cooking with you? I was living in San Francisco. Looking at the list of movies that we have here today, I think I was deep in my, um, art house cinema only phase. So, uh, I had to catch up on some of these big blockbusters we're here to talk about today. A real franchise year that I was not involved in in 2010. Interesting. And look at how the world turned on you or turned you into a franchise queen. You hate art now. Yeah, I do hate art.

Van, 2010. Unemployed. I had been in Los Angeles. I got to L.A. in 2006. I worked at this place for a couple of years, a couple of three years or something like that. And then it went under. And that was it. And so then I got on unemployment. This was during the times of the financial crisis.

And we were all just riding out. I, too, was playing a lot of basketball. What's the scout? What were you doing? Everything. Yeah? Inside, outside. Three level score.

Okay. Like, three level score. But, like, legitimately, we were hooping all day long. Against first graders, second graders, and third graders? Against whoever wanted it. 75 and up. Retirees. I was busting anybody ass that was out there.

And then the next year was the year, the year my career was essentially started. I go to TMZ the next year. But at that point, unemployed, seeing all of these movies Like a prequel. At the arc light. This is the year, 2009, 2010 is the year that I fall in love with the arc light because I start going to a lot of movies at the arc light.

Walking this night. Six years gone, we are from the arc light. Sad. It's inexplicable. And you guys just never got to be a part of that culture. I saw some things at the Cinerama Dome in my time. I heard tell. You know, I was in a cave.

My elders were telling me about it, you know? The stories, the legends. Okay, Mal, 2010. I was living in New York City. I was editing college football at Sports Illustrated, and I was seeing movies in the city. You know, you would, like, live in New York. You'd go to your job during the day,

then you'd go to a bar or a movie after work. It was nice. Fun to live in the city for those five years. What movie theaters were you? So the time and life building, you know, midtown Manhattan. So various. locations, either like Lincoln Square, Times Square, not ideal.

It's going to say AMC at Times Square. Yeah, convenient, certainly. Battery Park Girl? I moved to Battery Park City later. Yeah. I was living in... I don't think of the night. But I lived in Hell's Kitchen

at that point, so I was like walking to work. That was just sort of the general vicinity. But, you know, a young Matt Murdo. Yeah, Matt Murdo. Exactly. Fighting crime at night, putting on my aft leisure and going out to fight crime. Dared devil.

Dared. I was going to say Deadpool on the old. I did not have a nice brick loft department. Is it like, remember? It's not close. I didn't have them there to be like, that's Daredevil, you know? You're going to the cinema regularly. Yeah, Adam and I were seeing movies at this point, and we were watching a lot of movies at home,

and we would go to the movies because we've been, you know, together for an eternity because we're fucking ancient. Oh, wow. Imagine how I feel. CR. Well, this is hard because I don't want to contradict what I said on the first one, you know? Oh, interesting. We have evidence.

You're trying to go for consistency and continuity. I'll just say two truths and a lie. I worked at an advertising agency as a copywriter. I was still smoking. Those, I think, are truths. And I saw Tron Legacy in the theaters. I will tell you a large portion of that podcast, which I believe in total is like an hour and 14 minutes.

And I'd say 30 of those minutes are you shitting on Tron Legacy? Was it really? I have a lot more effective. By the way, can I say, in the interest of like Mallory competitive drafter, on Friday, on Friday, we said no prep. Well, I made my spreadsheet, but I didn't realize. You listened?

You listened to the other episode? Why wouldn't you listen to it? Of course. You all listened to it? It's like you've revealed your draft. I'm not going to be able to revisit all the films like I typically like to do. Like, it was a good, Rob and I were talking about this earlier.

It's a great pleasure in 99 and 2000 to just say, You don't need the excuse to pop on, almost famous, but if you have one, you're not going to pass on it. If you have an excuse to watch Ripley, you're going to do it. This year, it's a little challenging to do that. But I couldn't miss the opportunity to listen to the first draft you ever did. The podcast that birthed one of the defining series here at The Ringer. Come on. Also, it was structured completely differently.

Like, the drafts were set. The rounds were set. It was like, round one, drama. It was very different. It was very different. That is true. And we were all just like, great job, Amanda. Yeah.

I don't remember any of it. I don't remember what I picked. I didn't go and look back. I'm happy to recount that. I don't. Don't do it now. I want to do it at the end. Yeah.

So make sure it's at the bottom. It's at the bottom. Okay, I won't scroll. Because I'm curious how much I've changed and how much I've stayed the same. Well, you're always changing. That's actually why we've all gathered. This is an intervention. You've seen it in the intervention seat.

I know. It's very hard for me to tell you this. Chris, you and I, we spent a lot of time together in 2010. We were really hanging pretty tough back then. Is this, this may have been the year we met? 2011 is when we met. Well, I met Zach, my husband, outside of the Lincoln Square AMC, speaking of. And then you guys at the Woolley?

Is that right? No, I thought it was after the Avengers. No, that is, no, that's the first movie that we saw. That's where I met Andy Greenwald. But I knew you before that. Y'all been fucking with each other. Y'all all have been friends this long? Yeah, but I know you and him.

Adventures is 2012. Right. I accompanied Zach to a Christmas party that she was at where he was like, I'm going to meet this girl in Manhattan. Yeah, at Botanica. It was the after party of the New York Magazine. I was like, good luck with that. Getting old.

Our minds are deteriorating. So we didn't know each other. In 2010. Okay. You think we would have gotten along? I don't know. Why start now? In 2010, I was working at e-music.com, which was a digital music retailer.

It was an attempted iTunes competitor. And the scuttlebutt had e-music when I was working there as a merchandising manager, which was basically an editorial job, just basically like writing reviews and putting together exciting collections of potential albums you could spend your money on was there's this company coming that is currently operating in Europe called Spotify and we are fucked that was the vibe when I was working at e-music because as soon as Spotify comes to America it's curtains for e-music and everyone who was saying that was 100% right and here we are in Spotify own studio in 2026. I'm so cynical. Listen to you tell the story of the

emerging behemoth, Spotify, just feels like a... You just did a little commercial there for the video. Well, you know, I guess at least we get to be together. When I say 2010 movies, what springs to mind? I mean, I picked this year back then

when we did it in 2020, just because it was 10 years later. That was the only reason that we started there. We were like, we have enough time to look back on this period of film and see what it means. It's not because it was a particularly great year, though it did have a couple of favorites

from the show and some interesting movies to pull apart. but I don't what do you think when you look at it, Rob? I think it's big like before times energy. You know, I think the easy demarcation point is like the Marvel machine is not up and running yet. But also, Fast 5 hasn't happened.

Jurassic World hasn't happened yet. Like, all the things that are going to take up all the oxygen in the room are just not existent at this point. So there's a lot of stuff. I don't know that it's all good. So you're saying it's a great time for little movies like Toy Story 3, Iron Man 2.

But Iron Man 2 is not. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollow. Oh, dude, we were going crazy. Iron Man, too, we were going to. I saw Iron Man, too. I was there, but it's not the same. The Marble Hill Cinema was in effect. Because what I needed is premium projection.

Shut up. Actually, shout out Cobbill Cinema's 11 forever. You chuckled because you feel like we were already in Slop Town. No, I mean, he said the Marvel Machine wasn't in effect. Then Mallory and I just had like a. We just said Boyd, like a, you know, Mickey Rourke and Iron Man too. mentally to each other via telepathic link. Then we laughed into the microphones out loud.

We did do that. It's just, yeah, it's franchise city here in 2010. And actually some of the worst, I think, that franchise cinema has to offer. We're going to be celebrating that. There's a lot of other movies. It was an odd year. There's a lot of other fantastic movies,

but I think the top, I would not say these stand the test of time. It was an odd year also because it was like, it's like kind of transitional time. Like there are new people barking up the tree. Like I was all about Nolan at this point. I thought Nolan was the greatest fucking guy like ever. Did he have a movie this year? Yeah.

Like, yeah, I was about to say, I'm in the wrong year. But like, I just also remember having hopes for films and then just being dramatically let down by some of the, like, the, like, watching Tim Burton make an uninteresting movie was like crazy. to me with that many resources and stuff like that. Did movie Twitter exist back at this point? Sure. Were you on it?

I was on Twitter. Yeah. Twitter was good back then. I joined Twitter in 2009 and that's when you could frequently send out a tweet that was just like just had a burrito. Shit was fire.

That was Twitter. It was like, good job. You know that tweet. Retweet. You could, thank you. Why don't you take it back? My friend's banging that like button. You want to go back to that time?

I want you to take it back. That's what he's doing on threads. I'm not really on threads anymore. No, I don't think we can never go back, unfortunately. Because immediately when you do that, it's just like A.I. CR in a Nazi costume, like, saluting a bag of cheez-I-C-R? Oh, my God.

All the replies are like... A.I. Nazi-C.R. is like a real speeskating Hitler from a little sort of, like, character. Just think of that. AI, Nazi, C.O.W. In a Nazi costume, saluting a bag of cheese. Am I on the Friedland pod? Right.

I'm sorry. Do you have any big 2010 10 thoughts movie-wise Amanda? Oh, me. You know, not off the top of my head and I don't want to spoil my draft prep, but when I was trying to, you know, the essential, what will your first pick be? If you get the first pick, what are you going to do? One movie, I remembered as a 2010 movie.

And then I read the list and I was like, oh, actually, probably I should choose this other one. So it doesn't stand out as like a hallowed year where I was like going to the cinema. 2009, honestly, is a lot more memorable. I remember the specific places and the specific theaters where I saw all of these movies. And I think there was just a better mix of, you know, non-franchised stuff. I mean, that's Inglorious Bastards. You're a big Avatar head, so.

Well, I remember I went to see Avatar at a blizzard at the now-departed Brooklyn Heights, you know, the Court Street. Is that a regal? Yeah, I'll never forget where I saw Avatar. AMC, Lincoln Square. Yeah. I'm like, just like one of the greatest movie theater experience ever.

I loved it. You get it. You never seen it. You can't be me. I definitely didn't see it in a theater. It's not like 20 minutes upon on a plane. Yeah.

That sounds right. That's, well, that's, I think that's actually useful to this conversation because, you know, Avatar made a shitload of money in 2010. Yeah. You know, it was like, it was such a carryover movie. I think I might have seen it,

like a blizzard hit in January. And I was like, okay, I guess I'll go. Like this. on like a day two. Yeah. Yeah. We're always even still in theaters. But so I guess there's not a defining narrative of 2010 except for the Oscars narrative of they picked the wrong one.

Yeah. You've got a couple things kind of winding down. Exactly. A couple things kind of like trying to squeeze out some life, you know. You got Shrek 4 and Toy Story 3. I just remember this period. Harry Potter's near the end. More than any movie, I mean, I had one of my like favorite moviegoing experiences of my life.

was going to see Inception with Zach. Oh, yeah. During this year. Prospect Parkland, right? We both walked out. We're like, what can we do with our minds that we're not doing? I think you're thinking of limitless. But number 16.

The thing I remember when I went through this list was not only just the movies that came out, but the specificity of how I was receiving films, which was, I think, almost entirely as a theater-going experience. So the streaming services had yet to. really ramp up yet. You could get the red letter Netflix movies, but you had to be an active participant in like getting and sending them back and everything.

I think I had like an Ingmar Bergman movie for three years. I was going to say, there are two movies on this list that I definitely had those envelopes for like six months. Did you ever watch them? No. And then, you know, I just, home media or physical media was not a reality for me yet. So it was really like my film going experience was all theater,

which is kind of an interesting little snap. snapshot until the moment before. Yeah. Any other straight thoughts before we describe our categories and get a draft order? I think the Oscar note that Amanda already made obviously feels like very present in the year, but I am curious to see if in the flow of the draft, in part just because there are so many picks, it's seven drafters and seven rounds. If we'll be in a position where like a lot of the films that were like, you fucked social

network, how dare you at the time are actually now in a like, this movie is actually pretty good. So you're just trying to lay the groundwork for when that's a common thought for me. One of my favorite ringer memories genuinely, did this air? I don't even know, probably, when we were first doing hottest take at sunset gower. And we did a King's Speech episode. And I just remember you looking at me across the table in a podcast studio one in the courtyard and saying, you can't say a movie's good just because you want to fuck the lead. And nothing has changed all this time later.

You can make a whole career out of it. You can make a whole career. Here we are, folks. You can become a beloved media figure doing just that. It's still the best Tom Hooper movie I've ever seen. Low, the bars in hell. Amanda's first round there you go. What's the soccer movie he made?

Damned United. Yeah. Oh, I like that movie. You haven't seen LeMiss? I haven't seen LeMiss. No. Oh, damn it. I'm still working up to it.

It's not good. I don't really get there. I feel like I need to get more cinema history under my belt. I've always said that about you. I've always said that about you. I've always said that about you. It's pretty shallow. when it comes to that.

I'm just trying to catch up a little bit. That's supposed to have to side conversations. Okay, so let's talk about the categories because they're a little bit unusual. I'm trying to expand. You're iterating. The parameters of categorical strategy. And it worked out really well in the Star Wars strategy.

We have some exciting things we're testing for the fall. You and I. We do. No spoilers, please. Categorical strategy-wise? Premium gold subscribers. Okay, the first category to Joanna's point, and maybe it arrives as well

is franchise film. Now this is a film that is part of a franchise. It can be the first film, it can be the last film, but if it's part of a franchise, it's eligible. The next category is original.

Now, this requires a lot of specificity. This is not based on any pre-existing source material. As in a novel as in a real-life life. As in a novel, as in a real-life event, as in another film,

on the television series, this has to be from... The mind of the screenwriter. For our listeners, what happens if it is a movie based on a book but is not part of a franchise? Where does it go? Somewhere else.

Wild card. Not in neither. What if it takes inspiration? That's what I was going to ask. How strict are we being about real life rules? Because, like, no, there's no such thing as an original idea. Not really.

Everything is influenced by the stimuli. How dare you? all the time. Like if someone's like... The house of our podcast host would say that way. Wouldn't say. If someone's like,

my neighbor whispered to a mailman, a tale of their nanny, and it planted a seed that 30 years later I realized inspired this text. That's still original, right? But if you're like, these people are real people,

that's not eligible. Is that a fair distinction to draw? I think the best way to think about it is if this film can be nominated for best original screenplay. But a lot of the best original screenplay. original screenplay nominees wouldn't be eligible by your rule. With respect, that's a terrible idea.

Because they're not. Because they make that shit up all the time. That's the most loosey-goosey category in history. And that's just whatever. Wait, like, King's Speech was best original screenplay, but that's a, that's based on a real person. So by your rule, like that's. So that minus real events. Oh, boy.

Okay. Who sent you the most questions about the pod heading into it? Who do you think sent the most questions? You sent the most questions. You sent six questions just last night. I at least sent it to the group so that we could address them just once. You're side-channeling with him? You're like, always. Well, I had, as you, as some of you will remember,

a very public scarring experience where Sean looked at me on the Star Wars draft and said, maybe if you had asked me. And so I won't be making that mistake again. Is this when you tried to do, like the force was like a different character or something like that?

She tried to say that R2D2 was a Skywalker. She's only talked about it on like 20. The mid-chlorians. Where did you land on that? Stand by it. On what? I really like the mid-chlorian one. That one I would support.

Thank you. You're welcome. R2D2. There weren't old. Well, you hate droids. You famously hate droids. I scooped you on the droid pick on our Star Wars' lab. Because I was experiencing PTSD.

I will say this, though. There was a constiping. She did have, Mal does have a constituency online of people who argue very, very passionately. Those are clipped. Those are clipped. It is in Skywalk. People were very upset about it.

Is that where you know your pro-bane army as well? The ban lovers are everywhere. There are. doesn't. of us. The third category is comedy. That requires no further delineation. I don't know.

What is funny? Yeah. I'll let you. I'll tell you what. In comedy, I'm looking at a lot of movies that I thought were really funny at the time that I've really aged.

What about the ending of Remember Me? Can that count in comedy? Hey, please do not spoil my first one. I think finding something funny doesn't make it a comedy. Unintentional comedy? Okay. Have you, has everyone here seen remember me? Only the end.

I don't think I've seen it, but I know the ending. I was there. That I saw at Prospect Park Cinema. And did you laugh? When she writes September 11th, 2001 on the chalkboard, I like fell into the aisle. Yeah. I was like, I cannot believe this is going to happen. And it had not been spoiled for me by whoever that critic was.

What happened on that day? Well, it happened in the reflection of somebody's eyes, yeah. Okay, the next category is foreign language film or animal. To my faves. Now, CR asked me this yesterday, why foreign language film, xenophobe that he is. No? I said it's such a robust category,

it could have been its own. International feature. This year for sure. You can treat it as such. I am. You can ignore animated. I will. Sean, he definitely will.

There are a few animated foreign language films that are eligible. And I'll say, I think, to the voters at large, I think you should be rewarded if you're able to fuse the category. Well, you people, somebody could take three animated films.

films in this draft. Someone can take four. I agree. That was part of my thinking was there is an inordinate number of animated movies this year, both at the top of the box office and further down the line. If I select the 2010 film Frozen, will you allow us to pretend it's the end? Not that one.

I tell you what, I have some affection for that film Frozen there talking about. Maybe it'll come up later. The next category is Oscar nominee, which we often do. The next category is Blockbuster. The threshold here is 125 million. Domestic. Domestic, not 100 million, which is what we usually do around this time.

The reason for that is the box office was very healthy in 2010, and there were a lot of movies that crossed the 125 threshold. And then the last category, of course, is Wild Card. So we've got 20 eligible movies in box office. We've got well over 50 in Oscars. Got to do draft order. Everybody feeling good? Yeah, let's do it.

Any category questions before you get into that moment? No. Van doesn't give a shit. He doesn't care. You're ready to steal people's hearts and dreams? I hope. Okay. You're developing quite a reputation around these parts.

You have a letterbox list up here, and you're already not following U.S. release. I'm sure that that's true. Okay. So we're, but that's important, right? It's U.S. release. U.S. Non-Festival release. U.S. non-festival.

Yes. U.S. theatrical release. theatrical festivals. Van did all the prep for this. Don't worry about it. The thing is, like, Van doesn't do any prep, and then he comes in and he kills. It's annoying. Dominates. I don't believe in one.

A genius who's also beloved. Deeply annoying. Tough to compete. Jack Sanders. Let's do it. We need a draft order. I'm scared about the order for this one. So, well, what do you want?

I personally feel that having a top pick is important in this draft. You have the first overall pick. Wow. What just happened? It's like the worst possible. What are you doing? You're doing the worst possible outcome. Okay.

No, but then I have to wait so long for the second pick. The worst possible. Okay. I have, I am prepared to say, I think, actually there's a case that the second pick is even better this draft. I'll explain why moments are you ever been happy. Selecting second overall is Sean.

Oh, good. Oh, that's just what you want to enable these two people right at the top. Third is Amanda Dobbins. But she does. Fourth is supervillain Rob Mahoney. Okay. Wow. Tough. Fifth, Van Lathen.

Amanda and Rob are picking next to each other. That's always fun. Christopher Ryan with Joe last. Damn. Oh, Joe, you're on the turn, though. That's a strong pick. Don't. I had a great time on the turn last year.

Okay. Paint your own picture. Wow. This is his... Boy. I mean, you're in probably the spot you want at least. Is that fair to say? No.

I'm an incredible spot. All right. Somebody pick. Oh, are we starting? Yeah. Why would we not start? I don't know. You guys are hosting.

You decide. Mallory. Then me. Then me. Then, Amanda. then Rob, then Van, then CR, then Joe. That's correct. Can we set you over under on how many times Rob will piss Amanda off taking something that she wanted to take?

Because that's a fun. She's in front of him on the first day. But then he's in front of you. She has all the control here. Well, it'll circle back. Yeah. You have the most control. I encourage everyone to make some fireworks today.

You know? Honestly, I think that you can get pretty weird in the show. I went wise one said, paint your own picture. Yeah. But also I've done marginal prep. So I did prep, but, you know, I always. also have already drafted. Do you feel like this is a no-brenner? Yes, I do. Okay, go ahead. I thought that was a clear, clear top pick. All right, what is it, Mallee? Let me just say it quickly. The reason

I thought there was a case that two was better is because I do think original is the hardest category. Okay. And I think there's a clear, for me. It's the category that makes me most anxious, like that I'm going to be in the, like, did I fuck this up? Right? Now, obviously, it's a very deep field. It'll be fine. But, and that's also a movie I adore. I think there's just a clear number one. And it's the social network. So I will be selecting it. First overall, I will do that in, oh, technically it's a franchise film now.

I'm going to do that in us. You know what? I am going to do it in franchise film. I think that's the correct category. I'm going to do it in franchise film. Because it is eligible now, right? As a franchise film. So that's where I'll be taking social network first overall.

Thanks, guys. Okay. I just want to say thank you. And I want you to know that I've always thought you were wonderful. I'm already regretting the decision. What would you like to say about the social network?

There was a... No shaking of a... I left the Dungeons and Dragons die at the old place. That's on me. What with the goblet? On a piece of paper, number one, Mallory.

Number two. I'll show you right here. This is what it is. It's like a little goblet. All the paper of hanging chads. That's whack. Saltiness already. Paint your own picture.

It's the best movie of the year and it's one of the five best movies of the century so far. Some would say number one. Yeah. I mean, even. Some podcasts. Is anyone here in the room with us?

Some would. Some other lists might say somewhere between two to four. But you take the phone call about other movies, though. Yeah, you have the discussion. Yeah. Except for the social reckoning, which I don't want to take the meeting of. For Jalen Brunson, we'll take it. We'll take the phone call.

The shirt is fantastic. It's obscured from view by the laptop, but it's a wonderful shirt. Let everyone see that. It's beautiful. Thank you. Beautiful shirt. Incredible Fincher movie. It's a great Sorkin script.

The performances are iconic. It's a movie in the moment that felt incredible, urgent, perfect, reflective of the time, and that has only been truer as we've aged. So it's sensational. What's your, you watch the social network trailer? Social recognition. Social reckoning. I did.

I sure did. Booted that up on the 75-inch big screen. I have some concerns, but I will be there day one. I will be there day one. I will be there. It's allegedly going to be at the Venice Film Festival. So I'm going to be sitting it alone jet lagged in Venice. I don't, I'm going to, then I'll drop some takes into the group chat.

Yeah. No, then I'll do like a video blog of me. dying and then, but of happiness or sadness. It could be great. It could be great. So you can start your alien pod now. That's right. Are you going to go on his alien pod?

I thought it was a phenomenal idea. I couldn't believe you. I feel like we could do a great job. If you want to do that, you want to link up on that? Listen, let's just do it right now. So disclosure, Disclosure Day happens and we see all of that footage. On the local news, which you're definitely watching. They take it national and they don't put.

The NBC bug on it, right? They have that conversation. And also, you know, they run it through the AI checker. So everything. That's right. Groucher of pixels. Very lovely black woman kind of gets everybody into it. Right.

And then they, okay, and so then they hold it. And then they hold it. The real alien out. I almost lost it. That was where you lost it? I almost lost it at that point. By the guys, hold on. They, in New York,

at least, they have tremendous reception on the subway. I purchased a leather jacket. I had it was less plausible that everybody could connect to why on the subway. My last time I was there. Okay. Shout out to them. I'm done. In some spare dark spots. So they're broadcasting the tapes. The old alien

rolls out. Okay? And then you do what? So I have two choices. Yeah. I either were made of? So we're not drafting $2,000. I go, I have two choices.

I either go native or I pod. I was going to say, you come over to my house. I either got two choices. Either I go native, I do the whole thing because it's going to be a run on. Everything is going to shit. Highest learning. I either go native or I pod. That's it.

But so you are rededicating your life to alien study. I have to find the truth. Okay, but they've just told you the truth. I got more truth. Okay. If you wanted to aliens to understand our society, which big pick movie draft would you have them listen to first? 99. I probably would just cut out the snatch portion.

Yeah. This is what it's like here. This is what we're like. Do you have any podcasting moments I've ever been a part of in any pot? Yeah. Trying to think were any of these movies paired with blow jobs? I'll get back to you. We'll see how the trash goes.

Can I say one more thing about? You can say like a wine pairing? Can I say one more thing about the social network before we move on? Yeah. For anybody else, was the social network like a complete revelation in that you knew nothing about any of that shit? like I legitimately MySpace comes along everybody's on MySpace

and then all of a sudden everybody kind of like just makes this psychic decision to go to Facebook Facebook is just better I'm like okay well shit we're on Facebook now we're on Facebook I know nothing about startups I know nothing about

Peter Thiel I know nothing about any of that stuff that movie like wasn't just I'm 30 at this point right but that movie wasn't just like an awesome movie It also was almost like an encyclopedic map to like how you get your idea off the ground and like what it caused you. Well, it was really funny as someone who grew up in the Bay Area and it was like it felt like a real like is this fucking play about us. And then we didn't yet know how much that culture would just take over everything.

You know? So it felt like it felt like a local sort of exploration of our culture and then it just became. And it was so early in his career. It wasn't like he was a. 50 or 60 year old guy and they were doing a retrospective. The shit had just started. And they just almost like they wanted you to know how this is done because this is about to be such a big part of your life.

Yeah, I've said many times on the show, I really love recent history period pieces and they're really hard to do well. I mean, it's basically a seven or eight year period of time that has transpired from when Facebook launches to arriving at the release in the movie, which is, you know, to have the perception and the foresight as to like what this is going to do to people and the way that it kind of like instantaneously changed the way that we interact with each other, even just the face smash thing

at the very beginning of the film where you're like, oh wow, we're in the dark time now. We think of each other as commodities instead of as people where we're being told that this is the opposite. This is going to connect us, but what it's obviously going to do is divide us. And, you know, it sounds like Sorkin

is obviously trying to follow that up in a way that maybe we don't need explicate it to us in the same way. But I do think it kind of put words and images to a feeling that was starting to rise. And that's why one of the reasons why I think the movie is so effective and still it holds up to this day. Is that what lasts like 30 years from now is what we remember about the social network,

that it is kind of the defining public account of what happened with this man in this company? Or is it the Eisenberg performance? Is it the score? Like, what is it that lasts? It's a harbinger of something to come. Yeah. Yeah. And how right it was.

And how prescient it was even in the moment of not specifically how like we use Facebook, but just people's relationship to the internet and quote unquote social media, at least our generation. I mean, a common thing on this podcast is that all their young listeners are just like, guys, that movie's not that good. What's wrong with you?

But so everyone, well, but I think if you're 30 or younger, you have experienced a different internet, a different social media and Facebook wasn't really a part of the way. Yeah, and it doesn't like to speak to you in the same way. It's also,

like it's a psychological profile of a kind of person, the kind of people who will now run the world. That's exactly. That to me was the most subversive thing about the movie because growing up, the nerds were always the good guys. You saw like,

if we remember Lucas where he gets piled upon with football and then all the nerds in the 80s and the 90s were the people that had these hidden virtues that people were like, oh my God, in high school,

you don't have biceps, you have brains. Eventually this guy's going to be running your company. But you didn't think that perhaps that guy, that guy would be corrupted by all of his experiences and go on to use his prodigious intellect to dominate people

and like fuck them over. And I remember watching that movie going, shit, if we have 10 or 15 years of these dudes who learned the code just fucking us, we might be in for it. Well, guess what? We were. Yeah.

We still are. It's also just a very, I think, clear-headed movie about the voracious. nature of capital that just like getting bigger and bigger and bigger is the goal of everything and that once forces come in with people who have those ideas, that their entire idea is growth at all costs no matter the expense of humanity, personal friendship, whatever. And you know, most movies are not brave enough to be as kind of like sharp and mean as that movie is. I mean, that's a really tough movie. It's a really embittered movie. But I really really agree

with what you're saying, which is that younger people don't esteem the movie as highly, not just because they didn't experience Facebook, but because I feel like pretty much all of us here have realized in the last five years that the most powerful people for this portion of our lives are rooted in the experience of the movie, that we didn't necessarily know. And that when you're younger, you're like,

I'm being held down by the president or the Senate or CEOs of, you know, Nabisco or whatever massive company. But now these are the real domineering figures in society. So many things about that movie surprises. like the wildly competent Justin Timberlay performance. I was gonna say. Like surprises. Now it seems like a comment.

Now it's like, yeah, it's like, we were like, oh my God, everything, you look at the movie now, it just, it probably doesn't resonate the same way with you. Yeah. Yeah. Well, great pick. That's some of the more trenchant analysis

we've gotten on a pick. There we go. I wonder if my pick will engender similar analysis. In original, I'll be taking inception. There you go. A movie you famously hate and shit on the pods all the time. Have you just dedicated your life to convincing people you don't hate this

movie? I don't hate it, but I don't... You want it because it's powerful. I don't love it. It's a great book. This is the only pick to make. Are there other films that you like more? You can't just ask you, other Nolan films I like more? No, other movie, 2010 movies that you

like more than Inception left on the board. I just ask a dumb ass question. How the fuck you don't like Inception? Wonderful. Like what? Like what? I think it's very flawed. Okay. Say more. What are the flaws?

Well, there's a whole podcast where I that are recorded. I know. I know. I haven't heard that. motherfucker. So like, give me just a little bit of like, what you go to exception, you just leave,

you don't like inception. What happens? How's that? How does that? What do you do? What do you? I mean, I didn't do a Chris did, which is seek out the limitless drug so you can further expand your mind. I know, I was already on the limitless drug. That's my inception. It's so hard. I had a magical time. I'll tell you one of my issues

with it is the beginning of something that I think Nolan pursued over the next series of movies, which is his desire to over-explain the premise of his movie and try to convince you that the naughty plotting makes sense because of his concerns that he has maybe gone too far. I find when he has a... And yet you love Tenet. But the whole point of tenant is him unpacking that idea. It's him literally saying don't think about it, just feel it. Which is that it's him responding to himself and the criticisms that he's received, which I found

to be a very self-aware and interesting idea. This movie, I think, really bends over backwards to justify its structure and plotting in ways that I don't think is very impactful. That's just me. I am selecting it here. It has many merits. It looks incredible. It has an amazing score. It has good performances. My favorite movie star right at the center of it.

I live with it's every day. There's a lot of things I like about it. Why not pick a movie you love? Well, because we're playing a game. This isn't a make-bel list of my favorite movies podcast. When you guys did this podcast the first time, the second overall pick in the draft, Chris took never let me go.

Did I? You did. But that's because it was a beautiful. Oh. He was like, I do some great movie. Wow. Put that on wild cards. Hey, newishigoro next year.

Oh my God, I can't wait. I was texting you about that. In recognition of this, I just got to I'm fucking. I'm sorry, guys. I'm fucked. Like, it's, I'm just going to pick movies I like. Yeah, great.

Okay. Some people choose to play that way. Inception is my favorite novel movie, so I think this is the right pick. But we all know you hate it, and so does everyone listening to the spot. Hate is such a strong word, and it's just not true. I don't know what to tell you. It's like a six out of ten I think it has a lot of cool stuff out of ten

I'm talking about this Go ahead of ten Get the fuck out of you Sean Just talking about this thing You're letting this happen An actual gap I've been here for you I can actually talk about these movies

For as long as we are Because then we wind up saying things Like inception is this six out of ten Just torching your own draft in real time Isn't like 27 meters 47 meters down a six out of church. Oh my God.

Holy shit. I have a very discreet point of view, you know? I have one more question. That's what makes this a magical podcast. I have one more question. Okay. Which is in 2010, you see Inception.

You say what? No. The second person interview style. How shocked would 2010 you be to know where Christopher Nolan stands in filmmaking right now? I already really, really liked him. This is the thing I've been trying to say since. No, no, from Memento, which I saw in theaters and absolutely loved.

And I've been saying this for years because people are just like anti-Nolan-pilled because of the Inception pod that we did so many years ago. But I always love Memento. I think insomnia is not bad. I think it's pretty good. I thought, I was not crazy about Batman Begins, but I love the Dark Night. Loved. What about the prestige? And the prestige I loved too.

I liked all of those movies. So to me, it's not about a grudge. To me, it's Inception and Interstellar. is a down swing for me in his career. And I know for many people, it's a huge upswing. It's like the realization of something. I totally respect that. I don't know if you agree with me,

but I think following might be his best word. It's a skeleton key. It really is a skeleton key to his entire homography. Who's third? It's me. Dab. So I'm very clear. Did you think that you were going to get Inception

because he was going to say, like, I couldn't possibly draft it? I was prepared. I had two possibilities. And I knew that if he didn't take it, I had to take it logically. you know, in terms of playing a game to win. I think it had to be social network inception or vice versa.

And I think because it's the ringer, the number three movie is also pretty clear. Well, I'm sure. And here I go. In Oscar nominee, I will be taking the town. There she is. Which when we said 2010 was the first movie that popped into my head. There goes college soccer. This movie is directed and stars Ben Affleck, a patron saint of this podcast.

And my. personal life. It's cool. Love this movie. This movie is so good. This went last night when I needed to prep and I wanted to put something on that I was familiar with while I was like looking at my computer. You're like the dulcid tones of Blake lively.

That's what I got to hear right now. She's just and I did stay watching through that scene. But come on. The opening of it with the, you know, I understand that it rips off your beloved heat, but I like to think of it as more of an homage. It's all. It's in conversation with one of other. Men in different cities doing the same thing.

I still, and. That's exactly right. With Flair. The title card of, I'm proud to be from Charlestown. It ruined my life, literally, but I'm proud. Makes me laugh every single time. It is also really fucked up. Ben Affleck, pretty good in this.

Jeremy Runner, obviously, whose car are we going to take? Yep. And then also, you know, Ham doesn't get a lot of credit, but this is the not-fucking around crew. And Titus Welliver, really. Use that a lot in my own life. It was, I finally got to go to Fenway last year, I think, or was it two years ago? Anyway, only thing I thought about was being in the town.

I love this movie. It's very, very well-made crowd-pleasing entertainment. So thank you, Ben Affleck. Is it fair to say that no matter what the draft order had been, those would have been the top three movies? I didn't have a ton of my, here's the reason I didn't, because it felt unfair to take it from the people who care about it so much. Generous. Generous.

Generous. That isn't the one I brought. I think a very logical pick. Yeah. What are their wives names, Janets? The Janets want you to open the door. Really good stuff. I'm going to do a little Fergie for us.

I love it. Yeah, please. Rebecca Hall. What do you think, what 2010 movie do you think Fergie would have worked best in outside of the town? Toy Story 3. For less. Story thing. Gonna send you

the fucking moon. That's good. Does that happen a toy story? He goes up. No? No. Van?

You're up. Rob. It's me. It's Rob. I will be selecting Toy Story 3. God damn. Okay.

Amazing movie. To me, the best Toy Story movie. Whoa. And I am really spooked about Blockbuster, so I'm actually going to take it in Blockbuster.

Oh, okay. I think you're not going to get a better high from franchise filmmaking than the end of Toy Story 3 Andy giving away all of the toys in which I am a wreck as he says just some nice little affectionate thing

about like here's Woody my guy you know here's slinky dog that's peak to me. Did you see five yet? I have not seen five yet. I'm saving it to see with some friends very excited about it though. The end of the movie was so devastating

I did not think they could make another one. Did they really? But I get it but I did the end of the movie like this was in my This is the The trash compactor yes. It's the most devastating scene a movie issue. Wait, the trash compactor is the devastating one? Oh my God. Guys, it's definitely

Andy giving away the toys. Stopping. I think this is great. You thought they were going to die? It's just, it's not even about whether you think they're, they're going to die. It's them confronting the end of something so monumental. It is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life. My top four has gone in order here. This is really fun, also scary in terms of some movies being available when it comes back to me on the turn. But this is my favorite toy story movie as well. I just, I just, I love. Couldn't be me. Toy Story 1. You've seen it?

That's the second on my power angle. You do remind me a lot of Sid. Have you seen any Toy Story movies? I haven't. You haven't. Not you,

I don't watch cartoons. No, I just haven't seen what was your... G.I. Joes. Or like, what were your toys? Transformers, mask, G.I. Joe.

And then Star Wars stuff. And did you have like a special toy or like lovey, like a person that you took everywhere? Stuffy? Not. A blankie. Not after like five.

The line of DeShield's baseball card? Probably. Okay. I do think that that's probably the consensus top four. Yeah? At least amongst us. And then Van comes. Now Van Lathen has a selection to make.

Yeah. Scott Pilgrim versus the world. Yeah. Fucking hell. Damn. Amazing movie. Yeah. Was that the first pod?

We ever did. We did? Yeah. It was either that or Mr. Holland's opus rewatchables, which is one of my favorite pods at all time. Scott Pilgrim has not been a rewatchable, right? It is not. You took comedy.

Comedy. Scott Pilgrin versus World Comedy. I thought they did do. I don't think it's been a proper rewatchable, has it? No. No, no, no, we did. We did a big picture. We did a big picture on a 10-year anniversary.

Me and In Case Concepcion. Rarely say the term because I think it's overused, but a perfect movie. Genuinely. It's the best. Perfect movie, perfectly cast, like, a fantasy world that you want to be a part of. You wish these were your friends. You wish these were the happenings. The movie is just completely brilliant in every way to me.

It also knows how ridiculous it is. and how much of a piece of shit Scott is. Like those two things are so important. Like a lesser adaptation would be like, hey, let's do the fun video game stuff. Hey, let's do the, you know, the evil X's. And we'd just lose track of what it's actually trying to say.

This one is. Well, let's stay away from how much of an asshole he is and not give you that. Let's smooth it out. Right. Yeah. Music is incredible in it. The Beck songs.

Also incredible draft class cast. Yeah. Early Bray Larson. Aubrey Plaza. Early Brandon Ralph. Winstead. Mary Elizabeth Winston. Schwartzman.

Chris Evans. Chris Evans is in it. And by the way, Kendrick. Like, some of those people in that movie aren't like always super cool when they're in other movies.

But if, if a movie has three of the coolest performances ever, you know that motherfucker. That's another thing about the town. Like, Ben, Jeremy Renner, and very good, like,

these guys, those guys have never been cooler in another movie. Yeah. But she really is, though. Like, Age of Adeline, Risher. I fucking love that movie. I think that shit is underrated,

I fucking love that movie. You just love a historical baddie, you know? Crossing time and place. I showed that movie to my mom. My mom was a basket case. She was like, oh my God. They were in love before. I'm like, yeah, it's his son.

It's kind of weird, but whatever. I love that fucking movie. I know y'all don't take it seriously, but that's the type of shit I get into. Saturday afternoon with Mama, but Mama, let me put some on and blow your fucking mind. Watch what happened to Han Solo.

Did you start crying for a second? I love that thing. It's fun. Scott Pilgrim versus the World's a great pick. Okay. Okay, now it is. CRR. CRR.

Sturtt. Shutter Island Blockbuster. Damn it. Got to be. I was like it's going to make it all the way to me. If I didn't do the inception thing, this is what I was doing. I can't remember if you,

I think you said when you were talking about 2010 in general about like expectations versus what you got in the theater, I think Shutter Island was a lot. a minor letdown when I saw it. I was such a huge fan of the Dennis Lehane book. And then it is something that stands up to such thorough

interrogation on repeat viewing. It is so well made. The performances are so good in this. Ruffalo and DeCaprio are incredible. Michelle Williams is heartbreaking in this. That's all she did back in 2010. Just break people's hearts. And it's just such an awesome

genre exercise by a script. Versaise that actually then breaks through some whatever walls of like, you know, this is a cool thriller, a cool psychological, Hitchcock homage and becomes something like incredibly profound and sad. But I highly recommend the book as well, if anybody's ever looking for a beach read. Dennis Lehman always delivers Mystic River. There you go. On the beach. Pop a cold one and just relax a little bit.

Check out of Shutter Island. Shutter Island. It's like a mystery, but it's like there's water, you know, like if you're on Maybe you're just like Pages. You're looking for like Galaxy brain? Sure.

Yeah? Sometimes. I did that once. I went to, my mom took me to Florence before I went to college and I read what's that book? The Charles Webb.

Agony and the ecstasy. No one. Anyway, it was good but I haven't. It's maybe I'll do some, some water themes. This, but this remains one of my,

my favorite 21st century Scorsese's. I would encourage people if I haven't seen it to check out a personal journey with Martin Scorsese through American movies, which is a documentary. he did some years ago where he talks through

a lot of different kinds of American movies he loves. And he talks a lot about noir in that documentary. And you can see him like 10 years later doing all the stuff he always wanted to do in that movie, which is really great. Your turn, Joe. Really tough for me. You wanted Shutter Island?

Blockbuster, I think, is like by far and away the hardest category for me because I think a lot of these films absolutely blow. And I was really hoping for either Inception or Shutter Island. However, there's still a great one here. There's a good one right. Left for me. And it's called True Grit.

And that is when I'm taking a Walkbuster. That's tough. This is like Jeff Bridges. Crazy Heart was really the beginning of it, but like in full like coot mode. And it's just like all coot from there on out. But this is, yeah, just like roostering and cootin and, you know. And heller high of water in it? Yeah.

I like to explore more about coot mode. Yeah, you know. When's Chris entering his coot mode? I think I've been in it. I think you need to, like, lose a tooth in order to, like, get there. It's coming. Yeah. They're British.

They'll fall out, actually. An incredible intro to Haley Seinfeld. Great David performance. My guy Barry Pepp is here. Donald Gleason's here. It's a fantastic movie. And a remake that no one was clamoring for because, you know, John Wade's version is so iconic. And then they just really did it.

That's your great. Really? And how is it a blockbuster? I was going to say, shout out 2010 had this made $171 million at the box office. Domestic. I do believe the primary producer of the film who helped to get it made was a young man named David Allison. Oh. And it was interesting.

In his earliest days of trying to get Skydance off the ground, he was getting involved in active projects without developing them himself. And if the Coen Brothers came up. like we're good, it's okay. Are you trying to besmirch my one remaining good option that I had in Blockbuster? I'm merely you know, elevating an important fact about one of the incoming leading CEOs in some ways in media and through grit laid the path to get to Lyonis. That's right.

That's really why Joe picked it. As you know, I'm a huge. Myonis is fucking true. Strong women. That's what you like in your stories. So you have two picks here. Yes, you have another pick. I think the other tough for me category is for franchise film. So I am taking the American release of the Swedish film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Wow. I think that's a great.

This was a question that Mallory asked me yesterday. Yeah. Could do, would this be. Runei Mar? It would be. Yeah, of course. No, this is Numi Rapass's Swedish. And then Michael Nyquist.

I never saw that one. And then Fenture remakes it the next year. You took that in French. That one I saw. Yeah. It's good. They released all three the entire trilogy into the, Did you read those books?

I did. Yes. They really like an open-faced sandwich. I just like everything. She's just always eating an open-faced sandwich or a frozen pizza. I'm just eating a few other things. There you go, Sean. Okay.

But yeah, I feel really good about that in franchise film. What's all I'd say about that? Okay. Those are sterling picks. We're back to UCR. In original? Look at you. No phone.

No computer. I'm taking unstoppable. Oh, beautiful. Okay. The Potonic idea of the movie. Two men on a train. Wait, in original? Yeah.

Is it based on something? I think there's a book. I think so, isn't it? What? It is based on the real-life CSX-888. You'll pick it in another category. I'll pick it in another category if I have to. Are you really telling me that that is not an original?

It is based on the real-life CSX-888-8-8-8. He's reading off of Wikipedia and we never been wrong. So, source material. You can pick that in other categories. It's Oscar eligible. It's Oscar eligible. Yeah. And certainly wildfire.

This incident has its own Wikipedia page. And in the first paragraph of that page, it says the incident inspired the 2010 movie. This must be great to just be able to write the Constitution as you go. It's just be like commitment for it. If it has a Wikipedia page. This my advice to you, start your own movie podcast. Wow. I try.

Crazy. I guess I'll put it at Oscar. Sure. Love it. Oscar. Yeah. That's good. That's great.

That's incredible. This, like I was going to say, just the platonic ideal of a movie, two men on a train, that train won't stop. I mean, and then the executive's like, I don't know. And they're like, Denzel, Chris Pine, Tony Scott, get the fuck out of it. Write the check and don't talk to me for a year. That's how this movie worked. And it was perfect.

And Quentin Tarantino agrees with us. In fact, he illuminated this movie to me. I always liked it very much. And then talking about it with him on rewatchables, I was like, I was like, I have been converted. This is what the guy on the road to Damascus was happening to him, you know? You and Paul? You and Paul? You and Paul were just sort of like, I've seen the light.

Wonderful, wonderful movie and a great snapshot of Pennsylvania. It's just guys in different cities doing things. Yeah. But this time they're yelling like luck doesn't exist at a rail yard, just back and forth to each other over and over. Riding on a train. It's movie rules. You like train travel? Oh, I love trains.

How could you not? You don't? We grew up in the Northeast Horn. That's one of things I miss about the East Coast. I spent a lot of time on trains, I think. I feel like I call it. The Asella Express. Between the Long Island Railroad, the subway, the path train, I've done my time.

You do a lot of path training in your life? Sure, plenty. I worked in Weehawk in New Jersey. There's always a hidden chapter with you, man. I took the train from New Orleans to L.A. To get out here? Oh, wow. Yeah.

How long did that take? 48 hours. With like a bindle and like a little thing? It's hanging out. No sleep car. No sleep car. Did it have a lot of sleep car? Was this in 1902?

When did you do this? When I came out to L.A. I could see you doing very well on the train. Yes. A lot of conversations. A lot of conversations. You love to ride the rails. Observation car.

We would get off so that when the train stops and it connects in Texas, you're in San Antonio. So you got to stay there for like four hours. It's always like on a Monday. You watch Monday night football. It's great. Was Wemby there? Wemby was not there. I don't know if he was born.

It's your pick, brother. It's my pick. Hmm. In original, I'm going to take a movie that's off the beating pass, so I don't need to think about that. I don't care. In franchise film, I'm going to go Iron Man 2. You know there are many rounds left.

This is incredible. You know what? You love Mickey Roar. I think it's unfairly maligned. Do you? I do. I think the Iron Man, I think the first three, Iron Man, I don't care about winning this fucking draft.

I want to talk about Mickey Roark as whiplash. I will say in retrospect, like, when Marvel films got worse. You look back in Iron Man 2, you were like, oh, that bad. They were, they were, they were, I did it in franchise. Isn't this, uh, Natasha's introduction to the,

introduces us. Yeah. To Natasha. Yeah, Happy's watching her change in the rear of your mirror. The original, not the original, the second war machine. The second war machine. Well, the second, no, kind of the original.

Justin Hammer is in this one? So the second rowdy, the original war machine. He wasn't war machine in the first time. Right. He wasn't war machine. in the original one. I like, I recently caught it, and I was delighted to do so. I, like, I- you caught it? You might catch chlamydia?

Like, I recently caught the movie, damn it, and I thought the movie was, I like it also. This reminds me. Is this where Leslie Bibb met Sam Rockwell? Is this their origin story? I think he's funny in it. This also is when, indicative of the time where Hollywood went,

Mickey Roark, maybe we'll do it again. And then they were like, no. Nah. Yeah, they're good. They tried. The wrestler comes out. I was like, oh, let's do Mickey again. He's fucking crazy talented, which he is, but just...

Also crazy. Also crazy. I have a lot of notes on the Monaco Grand Prix sequence now that I'm an F1 fan. Just going to throw that out there. This is a real John Favreau. Are we sure he's good situation for me? Got more than a few of these on the ledger. Well, this was a whole John Favro did not want to make this movie so quickly,

but they like locked him down right as like the first Iron Man comes out. It's this massive success. And they just like lock it. him down for Iron Man 2 and try to get it out as fast as possible. And like when you see the behind the scenes footage of Favron set, he just looks so tired and sad. And he's just sort of like, I've made a real devil's bargain. Two great below the line contributors to this film.

Do you know who the screenwriter of this movie is? No. Who's the sole credited screenwriter of Iron Man 2? No one knows who it is? Justin Thoreau. Wow. I wrote a book. If you didn't know, that would have been a problem.

The cinematographer of the film is Matthew Libatique. Long time Spike Lee collaborator. Was this Disney era or no? Yeah. Disney had come in at this point. They were, yeah. Interesting. That was a choice.

Is Rob up now? Yeah. Rob's up. I'm scared you're going to pick what I want. I came here to win the draft. Okay. And to experience Onwee. And I am out of Onwee.

I will be selecting somewhere in... I knew this was going to happen. Right away. You're fucking. I mean, I was trying to do it next. That feels spiteful and rude. I don't know how I didn't see you coming. This is why I asked everyone to set me over under.

No one engaged. He doesn't know how to be any other way. It's a bit. Wow. He doesn't know how to be any other way. I love this movie. And I had to say, you're partially to blame. If you weren't such a strong advocate for your perspective on cinema.

You're so welcome. You know? It really is. What do you love about it? Robbohy? Which category? Honestly, first of all, is it weird that this movie makes me want to be a dad? Is that a weird take away from some?

No, I don't think so. They find each other. I am a father of several kids. They find each other. The incredible girl dad movie. Honestly, incredible Hollywood movie and more my speed. I find a lot of movies about movies to be a lot, frankly. This one is so subdued.

It is so like rolling its eyes at the whole process. It's a lot of like boring junkets and existential crises. And that's where I like, to live personally. Sure. Which category did you pick? I'm gonna take it in, I'm taking it in comedy.

Who plays the kid in this? Somewhere, I don't think it's El-Fa-Nagrant. Like, absolute star-making. I wouldn't get you, like, with a challenge him. Yeah, I. You don't think it's a comedy? No.

Okay, this movie. Parts of it are, like this, this twin strippers are very funny. Hey, do you know who those strippers are? I support it. Those are the Shannon twins. Okay. And that's, and like, and that's,

and that movie, hold on, hold on. Go ahead. So look, so I'm watching that movie. I'm sad. Those are the Shannon twins. Those are the first time I had ever seen the Shannon twins before. And I was like, whoa, that's the L.A. shit that I'm talking about. Now, they went on to do, you know who the Shannon twins are?

Tell us more. You guys don't know about the Shannon? This is TMZ shit. Okay. So, you know the Blue Mountain? It's not porn addict shit. It's TMZ shit. It could be both.

I don't think Sean denied it. He just deflected. He knows who they are. They were a playboy. Then, you know, Sam Jones from Blue Mountain State? Yeah. Okay, he went on to do a sex tape with one of the Shannon twins, so you got even more later on. Okay.

Yeah, so anyway, this first time I ever saw him was in this movie. And where are they now, the Shannon twins? They ended up getting BBLs. Oh, that's too bad. And so they changed a little bit. Okay. But that's the first time I ever, like, that's the first time I ever saw him was in that movie. Did everyone, they ended up getting BBLs on their bingo card of what we were talking about?

I haven't given this group? What? Yeah. but they haven't had them on the... They had them when they were in that movie. No, no, no, in that movie, but people are undoing the BBLs now. Oh, I don't know if they've gotten... I haven't seen them in a while.

Do you just want to dissolve a BBL? I don't actually know about the material that they use. It depends on what kind of BBL it is. I'm backing Amanda. That's not a comedy. It's not a comedy in any way shit before. The movie opens with them doing a dual strip dance to my hero. There goes my hero.

It's not a comedy. Somewhere, according to Wikipedia, somewhere is a 2010 drama film. Okay. So are you taking it in Wild? I will take it in original. Okay. Original is it is.

I'm sure that there's nobody in this movie that is based on some real... It says it is based on the real life adventures of the Shannon twins. Is it this like at least semi-autobiographical? But not enough to disqualify it. No. I agree. All right.

Inspired by, but not. That's actually helpful for another pick. It's a contemporarily side story about the daughter of that. There's no hyper lane where this was like, it was in the Mickey Roarker, and they were like, it's going to happen for Stephen Dorf's back. They kept Dorf was right there. I know. And he's so good. And he's just never like wonderful.

I got the teacups scene under the water at the chateau. They tried to read Dorf again with that treat a tecta season. It's really good. It's really good. Just doing Casablanca solo material is here. You know what? Dorf is just fucking cool. Like Dorf has been.

You know what? I think he's a little self-deaf. Not 11th dimension. What's the other? What's the really good song? How could it be? Oh. Oh.

Very talented. You know that song? It came on the other day and I thought of you because it's a dynamite song. What was happening there? Because Rob and I believe in Julian Gausenka solo projects, not voids, just the solo album.

It's like a six-track, all bangers, and I should have known because I know he also loves. Julian Casablancus as a former music journalist. You asked a question and I'm giving you the answer. So that's how we're fucking... Just hit me with a Rob and I. All right.

I'm glad you guys found Union. He did. He just shanked you in the table. chest okay. No, I was saying I should have known because he loves, I'll try anything once. If we had done it, it would have just been fucking I mean, you guys are kind of you guys are a little cold on somewhere

which is, like last time. It's not my favorite. I know you're just like, I've seen an Antonio phone before which like, okay, congratulations. So I appreciate you know each other back then. How do you know what I'm like? I, I've met many of Sophia conversation over a year. I appreciate that Rob I like it. It's not bad. She's her work.

True. Plus I am a man of a certain age wandering around LA. Hey, man. It looks like the Shannon twins got the BBLs taken out. Well, I was going to paint that picture, but luckily, I have. I didn't realize this. It looks like the Shannon. Guys cross talk, I apologize.

Complicated. I'm sorry. We were getting an update on the BBLs. They've been dissolved. It looks like they got the BBL taken out the Shannon Twins. He's on their Instagram right now. That's what they're doing. In certain parts of the culture.

Yeah, right. There's a camera literally over your shoulder. Okay. So be careful with what you're pulling out. Oh, you cannot dissolve a BBL. It is a. It's a removal? It's an extraction situation.

Okay. Because what is, what are they putting in? It depends on what kind of BBL though. You get the fat transferred and like, you know, that's like kind of not, then there's implants, but like the shant twins look like they got the implants removed? Yeah. All right. Amanda, you have a choice.

So what category did you just take that in Rob? I took it in original, yes. Because he got bullied out of comedy, just like I got bullied out of comedy. It's an extremely funny movie. I don't know what to say. No, it was bullied. Let's find out when we get through your originals. It is funny, but not a comedy.

You're not a comedy. Unless it's about the comedy of the emptiness of life. It is. Hate it? Okay, so I obviously was going to take somewhere in original next. And I was going to do it next because I knew Rob would be lurking. I just didn't think he would have the guts. And I kind of salute you.

So what we learn from this is go with your heart. Oh, no. So, but, oh, no. Oh, I didn't even think about that. But then you just started whining. So, oh, so now I have to go with your heart. with my other heart. Okay.

This is an incredible experience. In comedy. Are we making a frittata? I'm taking Morning Glory. Yeah, we're making a frittata. You know what? I was not going to do it until you said, oh no. So I just want you to learn a lesson from this, which is keep it tight.

Poker face. Anyway. Keep it tight. That's a good lesson. Morning Glory. An incredible 2010 romantic comedy written by Aline Bresch McKenna, who also wrote Devil Wars Prada, 27 dresses. Shout out to the homie.

This stars Rachel McAdams as an aspiring. Well, she is a national news producer. Yeah. Who else is in this movie? The third ranked morning show. And this is at a time, unlike a Disclosure Day, where broadcast news still mattered. Thank you. And she's producing a morning show starring Diane Keaton.

She recruits Harrison Ford. The old anchor back. He is curmudgeonly. And then ultimately he's not. He makes a frittata. And then also exposes some. local corruption. And Patrick Wilson is there being very handsome.

Really, really good movie that is undersung. So... It's like, it's sort of huffing, working girls, like, you know. Yeah. But it works. It's really good.

Even though I rewatched it recently, or I just watched the frittata scenes recently, and he says it that way. He does. And she is wearing a ball gown. Not a ball gown. I'm sorry. It's a cocktail dress because it is just below the

to her job interview. job interview at the Today Show. It's tough. Which is she wears a little cardigan over it. It just a run in it. Right. Well, and you understand that they've chosen this dress, so they have the montage of her running in real New York where it is filmed with the dress,

and she looks very pretty. This is also one of the reasons that then Rachel McAdams gave that lovely tribute to Diane Keaton at the Academy Awards this year, which was very nice because they work together. They also work together on Family Stone, which I had forgotten, underrated in its own way, but not release in 2010. So morning glory and comedy it is. Great. That's not what I had in mind.

Okay. It's fine. No frittatas for you. But I always welcome to Harrison Ford selection. Deny, deny, deny. Okay. Now I am scared that Sean's going to take what I want, though. I highly doubt.

I have no idea what you're going to take. I'm not quite sure where to go. Is it because you can't take a movie you hate and would give six out of ten to? You're using the word hate. You're like Palpatine, you know? It's flowing through you. Not me. Limited power.

I do that to Alice all the time now and she loves it. Unlimited power. Incredible. It's very scared. It is very. She thinks it's hysterical. Okay.

In comedy, I will be taking the other guys. Fucker. That hurts Chris. The last true Adam McKay comedy, this is right before the big pivot to the socially minded. I would argue,

though, minded movies that he makes. This is a comedy starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg in historical performances. Also showing us the hideous nature of capitalism. Thanks to Steve Coogan's character who is an evil banker.

Incredible Michael Keaton performance in this movie. Five of the best minutes you'll ever see from the Rock and Sam Jackson. The jump off the building is an iconic hysterical movie. It's hard to the the outtakes of Vivamendez scenes are just like some of the best.

Who is that? Who is she? Are you allowed to talk about her into a microphone? She's one of your all-timers. She's a goat. Yeah. She's like, this is one of her very last screen performances. She doesn't do a lot of movies after this.

But she's like, when she's like, he's like, honey, I can't believe you're dressed in like that slop. Yeah. That scene might be some of Mark Wahlberg's best acting. He's so funny. Yeah. That reacting to her entering the room is some of the best stuff you've done. going on. I don't understand.

Who is that? No, seriously. It's the old ball and chain. Yeah. And this does feel like kind of getting close to the end of this era of movies, not just for McKay, but for this whole cohort of

YapTow guys. What was the last one? Was it 22 Jump Street? Get him to the Greeks, the tombstone, right? Twenty-two Jump Street. Get him to the Greek. You could argue. Neighbors, maybe. Neighbors is a good one. All of that stuff starts to fade away and those guys are gone after that. Neighbors as well. I like Neighbors too.

Neighbors is fucking hell Neighbors too. Oh, with the sorority girls. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. You wanted it to center women. You thought neighbors should center

the female perspective. Definitely, I like it. I definitely want to go to Neighbors 2 for. So yeah, that's it. That's not what you were worried about. No, I'm going to, I get to pick both the movies I wanted to pick here.

I'm excited. Cool. Okay. I should. You said, we recorded with you an hour ago, and you were like, I'm going to be totally chill. She says that before every draft.

Remember when you said a exception is a six out of ten? I picked social network. Everyone agreed it was in front of the cameras. I've waited an hour to make my second pick, and now I'll do so very cold. With my second pick, I will be selecting my original. I'm thrilled to select Blue Valentine.

I will be celebrating Cunalingis here in the second round. One of the most memorable scenes in movie history and also a movie. about how falling in love and lust is exciting and being married is often quite hard. This is a movie that I think about often. You love a divorce. I really do love this movie. This is one of my favorite movies of the year.

Just incredible performances from Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling. And then I'm really excited to pick another one of my genuinely favorite movies from this year. I'm going to take kick asses. My comedy on the turn here. I love kickass. That movie rules. It is incredibly, incredibly violent, incredibly comic, heightened, disturbing, riveting. It's a great genre film that is not actually eligible in original, to be clear, but it's very original in its spirit, even though it is part of a franchise.

And I love that film. Probably very influential on, like, James Gunn stuff, The Boys. Deadpool. Deadpool. Definitely. Yeah. Hyper-violent. kind of like rude graphic.

Forget the R rating. Let's go into NC17 territory. One of many, Nick Cage. Oh. He never leaves us. He pops back in to check in on us. Yeah, Nick, that's how you can do it. Don't they're so surprised.

It's like you're being very rude about it. No, it's just sometimes you're like, huh. You take enough for him. I'm here for all cage. Sorcerer's Apprentice, whatever. Let's do it. So we're not seen the NICGE movies I've seen. Still waiting for your Spider-N-War thoughts, by the way.

Look, it's a busy time. I've had many 20, 10 movies to watch. I think it's a good show. Same. Yeah, I think it's a good show. By the way, this guy that Ryan Gosling was during this time, I thought that he would be that guy forever. This was my favorite actor in the universe.

Like, I thought that the place beyond the pines, Blue Valentine, dry version of Ryan Gosling, I thought that was going to be Ryan Gosling. And then Ryan went, nah, not too much. Let me sun it up a little bit. And he's been kind of drifting back and forth. He did nice guys, and he took a lot of time off. Yeah, he did.

Yeah, but like that dude was deadly coolest, the coolest motherfucker in the entire time. Yeah. This was also, this was like internet boyfriend. This was Hey Girl era, right? Yeah. Do you remember this? Yeah. It was really powerful stuff.

The fact that Blue Valentine might have inspired, hey girl, we were adrift. No, it was Lars and the real girl. Okay. Lars and the Real Girl. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. But. I'm holding my dark scene in France stock, and I will be holding it in perpetuity.

one of my favorite. I got you, brother. I'm backstopping your investment. If we just put Gosling in Roofman, what does Roofman goes crazy? But you know what? Nobody even knows he's still cooking off those Dick's sporting goods ads. Remember how goaded those were? I do.

Hell yeah. Yeah. I had breakfast to see in France once. Just magical shit. He was just like, it's all about the soul. Just looking me right in the eyes dead serious. I was like, don't you know I'm an irony poisoned millennial weirdo? And he was like, no, listen.

Did he make you live in a house with him? for a month before you had breakfast together. We got married, divorced, remarried. So I'm currently a bigamist. I love them too. Fosbender recently told a story about how he and Alicia Veconder hooked up on the Derek Cian friend set and how he used to, like, Derek put his trailer here.

Michael Fassbender's was here, and Alicia Vickender was here, and he just used to sneak out at night to like fuck her wildly and then go back to his trailer in the morning. Wow. Good for him. Some light between oceans. Oh, that was the lighthouse? Yeah.

They all had to live together for that one, too. Yeah. Well, that one that is sort of you're on a remote location. That's the whole just of a movie. Good sweater is in that one. Yeah. Who wouldn't fall in love and create a family and stay together forever after making the light between oceans? A film for our time.

My turn? Yeah. Blue Valentine and what was the second pet? Kick ass. Kickass. So I have, yeah, I took Blue Valentine as original and Kickass as comedy. Okay. Hmm.

Hmm. Long time until it comes back to me. Yeah, that's how I feel. I'm halfway between that. Boy, I feel great about my first three, but round four is a long time for now. I think I'm going to take an Oscar nominee, the Australian crime drama Animal Kingdom. I almost took this. Fucking, come on, Sean.

I almost took this. Just a sick movie. Written and directed by David Michaud, starring Joel Edgerton, Ben Mendelsohn, Guy Pearce, and the Oscar nominated Jackie Weaver for the best supporting actress. Do you know what I was going to, can I just tell you what I was going to do with this? This was going to be my franchise. That's one of the questions. texting him about. Could it be a franchise film?

Part of the reason why I'm taking it is because I knew there would be some interest in it in multiple categories. But it's also, it's an awesome. It's one of the great crime movies of the 21st century. It's fantastic. Can we clarify the franchise point? Like, is this eligible for franchise? I think so. Yeah.

Did I, did I, did. They made like a long-running TNT series off this. They did. I just know the big picture can be very small-minded about television. And I just want to respect it as everything. But big screaming minds. Wait, which category did you take in? I'm taking an Oscar nominee.

Jackie Weaver. It's Jackie Weaver. Great movie. Shot by Adam Arkapaw. This is a great, great movie. I think it's like a little kind of going under the radar now. I think this movie showed maybe has not elevated the way that some people thought he would as a filmmaker. But I'm a huge fan of this movie.

Mendelsohn's out of his mind in this. He's so good. This was like a big, like Ben Mendelso and Joel had to turn introductions. Guy Gyrs. That generation of Australian filmmakers kind of coming to the fore at this time. Yeah, for sure. And Nash, his brother and a bunch of other people. popping at this time.

Okay. Damn it. That was tough for me. Amanda, you ready? Yes. And Rob Mahoney is lurking, so I will now do my other heart as previously referenced. In original, I'm going to take Greenberg. Yeah.

The Noah Baumbach film about a very angry man who writes letters because he can't connect with other people. I referenced this movie both in terms of letters. writing. I don't actually write the letters some other... Do you compose them? In my head, I'm just like if I were going to do this. And it also brings me back from the edge, you know? Like, you don't want to be the Greenberg writing the letter.

You got a little Greenberg in you. Of course. You're now a newsletter author, so... And then, that's true, one. That would be a nice and good ultimate time. The Greenberg Diaries. To the management of Albertsons. Your aisles must be bigger. Amanda, did Greenberg inspire the

correspondent? What do you think? Have you read the correspondent? I haven't read the correspondent. It's on your list. I know. No, I know. Well, everyone like recommended it. It's quite good. But I heard that it was very, a lot of crying. You'll be sobbing. And I'm not looking for that experience. But it's also uplifting

and affirming. But incredibly sad. So I'm going to do it. The other reason I reference this, I think of this movie all the time is there's a scene when they're taking the Greta Gerwig character to get the abortion. And she says, can we go to in and out afterwards? And Ben Stiller says, it's your day. And I once a week,

I say it's your day a lot to other people that I don't think they know that I'm referencing that scene in Greenberg. But I am, I fully am. Always be Greenberg. Yeah, anyway, bomback is one of my favorite filmmakers. It's been, you know, an up and down and interesting journey. On a text message between me and Tracy this week, I said I will never, ever sell my bomb.

And I will never sell it either, but I have found myself walking. I mean, I walked out of Jay Kelly and was like, I miss Greenberg bomb back. And this is this. And Margo at the wedding are kind of the other end of the spectrum. There's like the very, you know, he's softened and opened his heart. And that's great in life. And maybe not in movies or at least not what I'm looking for. It's his day.

But I find myself missing the Greenberg element. Awesome. Does Jennifer Jason Lee have a story credit on this movie? I believe she does. I think so. Yeah, that one, I was dancing around that part a little bit. She does. Yeah.

It's an incredible movie about hating Los Angeles, too. This guy fucking hates Los Angeles. He does. And lives in the most incredible house. Yeah. Which, you know, I get it. Except I don't. Except I don't.

You guys are the title, Nix and Five. But you guys are just a team of the people, you know? See that's coming up before the next season of Severance or after? Nixon Five. Also, this trailer is not as big as the social network trailer for me, but this was with all my friends. All the D-Dy sound system, and I still think about that. Anyway, very, very formative. Anyway.

Were you going to take Greenberg? I was not going to take Greenberg. This is not one for me. This is not one for me for some reason. Yeah, well, you know, you're younger and full of hope, so that's good. I don't know. I did just take somewhere, so how full of hope could I be? In comedy.

Rob, you're up. I will be selecting a movie that I don't know if any of you care about this movie, but it means a lot to me personally. To me, one of the funniest movies ever made, I will be selecting Magruber. Oh, my God. I love this movie. I do. Rob, I had this really high on my list. It is, I mean, speaking of perfect movies.

Incredible. Show me a movie that has a better getting the gang together montage, better use of celery, better dude plowing his wife's ghost on her gravestone. Yes. I dare you to provide one. You can't. So, I had never seen this. Yeah.

And Jomey was like, Van, Van, You've never seen McGruber. I can't believe you've never seen McGruber. So we put it on. Yeah. I thought that movie was absolutely fucking terrible. What? I could not believe how bad.

Like, so when you say... Val Kilmer plays a villain named Dieter von Kuntz. And you're telling me this is a bad movie. When you were talking about getting the game together, that's like the wrestlers part, right? No, there's like a getting... I don't want to spoil the bit, but... Yeah. And they all get his team.

He's a neat team. Right. And they'd always... I would never. To me, I tried, like, I had never seen McGruber before. I had obviously seen the Saturday Night Live sketches. Yeah. And I sat down like, okay, McGruber, this is going to be funny.

Jomi said, Van, I cannot believe you haven't seen McGruber. I tried to watch it. That shit was fucking ass to me. It was so terrible. I'm like, what did I miss about McGruber? It's really not that funny. I stand by me, Rob. Did they have a track of the sequel?

Didn't they make a television show? They made a spin-off television show. That's right. So you guess it wasn't covered on the watch. I actually would like to select it in franchise. Oh, there you go. Not comedy. Franchise.

Hey. Never saw that coming, but I will allow it. But, Van, this is hurtful. Every movie you have ever recommended to me is the most Inception 6 out of 10 movie I've ever seen in my life. And you're telling me that McGrueber is bad? So the movies that I like, I tell you that they're bad. And the reason why I like. But he knows.

Van knows. Well, I like movies for my own. So when someone, see this deal. When someone suggests a movie to me, And it's a movie that they love, I kind of expect to love it. When someone tells me, oh, this is the most important movie you ever seen before. Then you're like, I'm going to write a blog post about how I hate it. Yeah, you know what I'm saying?

Like, whatever. But so, Jomey did this. But you don't have a vendetta or anything. You're just, you're some honest commentator is what you're saying. I never have vendetta. Okay. I'm not a vendetta guy. He just tells the truth.

Just tell the truth. And then, like, when I watch that, I'm like, this is just not that funny. Like, I just, I really wish that I would have thought that McGrew really funny. It's for us. This is the magic of cinema, guys. Good time to remind him that he took Iron Man to in the second. I feel great about it. We can do franchise battle

anytime you want, Van. Van, where are you on jackass? I like it. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. It's funny to me, but once again, I'm real early with the jackass guys. Those are my guys. They both have to pick this round. CR.

You have a pick, right? It's my turn. No, Van's up. Vans up, sorry. Van's turn. Do me, does Vanney help with this microphone? I just thought of a good Greenberg letter that I want to write to,

to the parking structure here because I keep getting locked in the door the doorways like in the hall That's perfect And you have a fob? And it's like a real fire hazard. Like I have a fog.

I don't have a fob because it'll come here. Yeah, well how am I getting out of the parking structure? Dearest parking structure. They're going to come over there. That's what I'm saying. I have like been locked in the stairwell like five times. I think we need to take a bathroom break. I'm going in original.

all right and it's an easy choice for me okay Shannon twin sex tape that was also very good certainly some original concert it's directed by the Hughes brothers

starring Denzel Washington the book of Eli amazing that's not based on a graphic novel no it's not based on the Bible wow damn

uh oh just pivot to a different category it's fine you can stick with the pick no because I don't think is actually based on about this. It's not. Yeah.

I like the book of Eli, man. The book of Eli is one of those movies that when I walked out of it, I was like, yo, that shit was crazy. And my boys was like, you're being serious right now? It was like you,

I thought it was, I love, it was your McGruber. It's my Magrooer. A lot of people like McGruber. But like, I liked the book of Eli. I thought it was a weirdly serious movie

with great actors in it. and the girl from that 70s show. They had... Milakournus. Yeah. You have... Say our name. You have Gary Oldman?

Yeah. Fucking Gary Oldman and Denzel Washington in the movie in a post-apocalyptic movie about a blind man who's trying to get a Bible to the West Coast. I like it.

And he has a dog, right? In that movie? I don't think he has a dog. He might have a dog. I think you're thinking of I am legend. Ryan Legend. Yeah, I don't think he has a dog. Boy.

Brutal. There's a dog in there? There's an incredible vanism that I've come to understand very clearly. What? Which is every time you are asked your opinion of a movie and you go, I liked it. That means everybody else hated it, but you liked it. I didn't hate it. I don't see how you can hate book of movies.

Or you like, most people are like, eh. And you, you are, you've come to defend. It's funny. That's what, hey, what did you think of Masters of the Universe? Loved it. That isn't what you said after the screening. It's not. That is it. You were like, I liked it.

I liked it. So this is the deal. There are certain times with me where I just surrender to the narrative of a movie. And Book of Eli is for some reason I just took the movie seriously. Everyone's dead. They fucking trading ketchup packets in a post-apocalyptic town. And Gary Oman wants to get a Bible so he can control everybody's minds. I just thought we don't want them to get the Bible. I love the movie. So I'm taking it. Only movies I like. Wonderful pick.

I'm going to share a very quick story. for Vans' appreciation and benefit. My husband Adam knew this draft was today. He knew the year. And when Joanna and I finished a podcast this morning, I looked at my phone and I had a text from Adam and it said this, just want to make one last pitch.

He had not made a previous one. For a couple movies I really love, the book of Eli and Tron Legacy. This is why he is my motherfucker. This is why he is my god. By the way, I know that y'all is my motherfucker. That y'all not gonna draft Tron. I'm gonna take that bitch.

Like, it is, I wouldn't be so fun. I'm telling you, this is why he's my guy. I might have to take him. Fun. How these categories are shaking him for me. I know. God. It's getting thin. Okay, Book of Eli off the board, CR, you're up. All right, do you want to talk about the possible trade?

Are you guys really gonna do this? Let's talk about it. Let's at least talk it through. Let's talk it out. Wow. So, Shutter Island for Inception, what do I have to do to sweet it since you took inception second? Two movies? You have to flip your order in like multiple rounds.

No, no, no, no, no, no. What is, what is, I'm asking him. What if you're not, what are you? Can you talk to a lady like that? You don't speak to her like that. Are you fucking crazy? Why, you can't, you, I'll be doing however I want.

We go away back. We go away back. 100%. You're like that. You'll become a little too familiar on this show. to musta so that way. I'm not going to... Let's just discuss this idea.

This isn't a pure offer. Animal Kingdom and Inception for Shutter Island and Unstoppable. Straight up. And can I move the categories that they were drafted in? So I have to take Animal Kingdom in Oscar. You would take...

And I would have to take Inception in original or in Blockbuster. Is that clean? Do you have... So you just want to go two-for-two basically are drafts against one or another. But you're first and second for his first and third

because he has a higher. overall first. Interesting. I don't think we've ever successfully traded. Wow. What's that? I don't think we've ever successfully traded because there's too much spite. Now, we don't have to do it now. We can wait to see how the rest of the draft shakes out.

I'm just surprised that you don't agree with that. I actually don't think that that is to do it now. This is just you and me. This is all noise. It's just you. I invented the rules of this game. I've never seen this out of Christmas before. I've never seen this out of Christmas before.

I don't speak to her that way. Krish is shouting down every woman on this part. Quiet, bitch. No, it's... The man are talking. Specifically, like, now, I, don't tell me how to...

There's a draft card with the value of each pick. I have created so much space for Mal to... I support you endlessly. The picks can't just be swapped. There has to be value elsewhere. That's all of us. I know what she's going to do. She's going to be the gatekeeper,

dungeon master, key master. Not at all. I'd be like, here's how it works. I'm telling you, I don't know how interested I am in doing full-scale swapsed. For as jealous as I am about Animal Kingdom. I think... And you love Inception.

Shutter for Inception and would have... That's a bad value. That's not a good value. Do you know, trade Inception for Shutter Island? I was not going to offer a pick swap. Oh, that doesn't make sense. That was going to offer a pick swap. A pick swap.

Yeah. Oh. Mallory likes that less. Oh, swap. There's not as much value here at this point. What about future draft capital? Yeah. Inception for Shutter Island and a pick swap at this point,

in round four? Or the next time I get the number one pick, I automatically give it to you. No, we're not doing future swaps. That's not eligible. I think that's awesome. Now we have a little, now we got something cooking.

I think Sean gets. It will be so awesome if in the next draft, like I held your number one from Sean Finney. Now we're having fun. But then it makes the unpredetermined draft order a little bit more challenging. I don't want to go into the future. I want to stick in this draft.

I want to do it like Leon Rose does it, you know, player for player. Yeah. How do we get OG here? He gave up five picks from McHale Bridges. Financial doping based on secret payments made to Rick Brunson, right? No. I mean, I tell you blow the law.

Oh, that happened? Oh, dear. Okay. It's rude for thought. It's rude for thought. And you know what? I just want to say, I love you. And anytime you want to chime in.

A lot of feedback from other people with no commentary from you on their responses. It's just observed with interest. I'm gonna take Jackass 3D in comedy. That's a great one. Incredible. The other night, as I was preparing for this incredible draft, my wife heard me crying with laughter. And she said, husband.

And you're like I'm watching somewhere. Husband, what is it? And I said, wife, I am watching Bam Margera fall through the floor into a pit of plastic snakes. and when he tries to climb out of this hole, a guy comes and starts dumping real snakes on him and Bamargera has a full-scale panic attack and starts crying.

Great news. You're sitting on top of a trap door and below you. That's the next level for all of our pods. I know. If we just started doing... Do you think that Amanda would react well if we did the giant hand hitting her?

How do we not have that in the office already? Or the hall of tasers, one of the two. I know, seriously. This movie also features... Are you afraid of snakes? I have never tested that theory. How would you do? I don't find them scary on screen.

Do you like it when someone brings a snake out as like... Got to admit that's never happened. Like a snake handling preacher? Oh, you're getting at the photo of Alice meeting the snake? Yeah. So at our preschool end of year event last week, the preschool family keeps some snakes and they show up late at the event every year. And they're large.

I held a snake on Friday. I held a snake on Friday. We had snakes as classroom pets growing up. I saw them. These are bigger snakes. Oh, I just, yeah. Yeah, yeah. They're like, they're sort of like Britney Spears.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the season three euphoria? I think Raiders of Lost Dark actually did a lot. A lot of damage. It worked against snakes. Yeah. And anyway, this film also features Chris Pontius tying his penis to her remote control helicopter.

And, um, Knoxville bull fighting while we're in camouflage My favorite piece of content from 2026 Is Knoxville being interviewed and very sincerely talking about his relationship with bulls And how he's no longer allowed to be near bulls because he loves them so much And loves the potentiality of being gored by them So to protect his mind He can't go in the ring anymore

What's wrong with those guys? We have a lot of problems I'm saying like they, what I'm saying is like, obviously they made, but like, they are really super human. Many of them are quite broken. Yeah. Yeah. They're great artists, though. Their bodies are working.

They are. They are. A lot of CTE. No, they are, but like. I forgot about the helicopter penis. How? This is so degraded. Those are like a lot.

You're talking about one of the co-stars of somewhere. Not a comedy. That's exactly right. This is what I'm saying. What a year for Paul. He apex this year. So I'll take Jackass. Party boy.

Party boy is funny, man. Okay, so you have another pick or no? No, it goes to Joe. Joe. Oh, I'm sorry. Five people have taken comedies already. Sheesh. Not Rob, though.

Great comedy year. He tried to take it in somewhere. I know. They took away from it. Denied. Joanna Robinson. In original. This is a question I have.

In original. Uh-oh. I like to take a comedy EZA. No. No. No. It's not

Shakespeare. But it's like inspired by. That's why I asked the beginning. It's not the scarletters. It's just scarletters reference in the I think they say too much that that's like connected text. It's not based on the scarlet letter.

It's not because you can take it at your comedy. It's not the story of the scarlet letter at all. It is. It is. It's not. It's iterative of the scarlet letter. And that's also, and that's like sets Will Gluck's whole career. of just updating stuff until one night only, which...

I hear you. You've mounted a very reasonable offense. Once again, look at the Wikipedia and see how quickly the Scarletters mentioned there. The movie does not exist without the Scarletters. This movie was inspired, partially inspired by the 1850-9 with the Scarlet-Pumpernip. Scarlet-Pumpernel.

Scarlet Pimpernel? I love him. I'm sorry to say. So you're going to put it in comedy? You get your comedy. Yeah. It's a great pick here. I'm just going to think about it.

Okay. You don't want to do it now. You don't want to. Chris can speak more about Christonius' penis as he'd like. Yeah. I would, frankly. I would like. Do the sound again.

Ah! You did ask me this? Yesterday or no. No. No. I did not. I love that movie. Incredible Amistone performance.

It's also eligible in Oscar. Yeah. For that reason. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. Listen.

We're trying to support. you while enforcing safe boundaries, you know, which is... Do you feel that Black Swan is too iterative of Swan Lake? I do. I feel it's too iterative of perfect blue, to be honest with you. But that's a different conversation. It's actually the same thing where without it, without Swan Lake, Black Swan does not exist.

Among my least favorite developments on this show. This category is. You can't make a movie about art. Like, you can make a movie about art. Like, if you make Shakespeare in love, you're like, well, Romeo and Juliet's too involved in that. That would be okay. Are you kidding me? Shakespeare and love will be okay?

Shakespeare and love will be okay? Shakespeare is not. No, you can't. You said it can't be based on real people. Not original Shakespeare in love. Come on. Who are Shakespeare's in it? Even if it's historical fiction, what are you talking about?

If you're going to be a tyrant, at least be consistent. Watch how you speak to me. Incredible. Believe it or not, Black Swan was not nominated for, for best screenplay, so we won't know in what category? Let's see, was it at Golden Globe maybe? Did Darren pen that one himself? Hold on, let's see.

ECA and Black Swan Good Picks. Those are great picks. Good picks on the turn. Other categories? I'll think about it. I have other questions for you. No. He did not.

Let's see. Black Swan script nominees. I'm sorry, I'm just trying to fill and support you. No, I feel supported. Okay. Thank you so much. Um, would we do you have this in your house also when like one person is trying to look up something on the phone or on the internet and or like fix something on the computer and the other person is just sitting right next to you telling you.

Yes, that's how I'm the closest I've come to divorce. Thank you. Yeah. I will not abide it. Get out of the room while I'm using the internet. Unbelievable. He's just like, no, no, click here. No, what?

You hot? Very. All right. Thank you so much for your patience. We just, we filled some time. Thanks for vaping. I appreciate you. In comedy, I would like to take EZA.

All right. Great pick. That's a great pick. That feels contest. Easy A. Well done. It must know. Way to go.

Deleting it. Deleting it? I'm an ally. Don't say anything else otherwise. In original, I will be taking it. the Angelina Jolie film Salt. No!

I thought Dobbins was going to pick that. I mean, I had it in Wildcard, and it was backup for original. Listen. Original is a tough category. She's not a real person? No. It was originally written for. Evelyn Salt?

Yeah. It was supposed to be Edwin's Salt, right? I really, really wish this were eligible for a franchise. Where is Salt 2? Where is Salt 2? Jack, you've seen salt yet? 2010. Salt 2.

Salt to salt and pepper? It's really very good. Salt too, Colin Pepper, obviously. Anyway, your pick, Joanna. Speak on it. That's it. Just thwarted from the movie show on it to take. Philip Noisse.

Yeah. Yeah. It's a great Angelina Jolie. It's very good. Action film. A tremendous assortment parade of wigs, which I always appreciate. And listen, they leave the door open for a sequel.

I would love to watch Salt 2. Yeah. If Inception's 6 out of 10. What's salt? 11 out of 10. Four? Not a salt guy. Okay.

And what would ballerina be? John Wick presents colon ballerina. Two? Okay. I mean, that's fine. As long as that's just... Just trying to get like a baseline. Look, making pods is all about doing shit like Inception is a six out of ten.

This is what it is. This is the artful. I would never... By watching you, Dad. I would never shush a woman in my real life. He'd never tell a woman Have a scrolling in the idea. It's an adaptation of the roller letter, what it's not.

You keep trying to walk it back. We saw what you did with Robert Matherow. Van like really white knight. It's like, sir. It was the handbag. In the name of the shit and twins, I've been to see you. Let Mallory speak. So here's something interesting that I did not find by scrolling up by starting a new Google search.

So Black Swan was an original screenplay at the W. GAs, but it often changes the designation between original and adapted for the Academy. So again, not conclusive. There was also like another screenplay, right? You guys also noted to me that my original screenplay idea was stupid and that also shouldn't be the way we judged this. Yeah. Well, I just trying to mix up these drafts, guys.

I really appreciate that. I just don't think that if you are like inspired by a piece of art but not adapting it, that should be called unoriginal. We all agree. We all wish the category worked differently. A lot of it It's like In the performance

Yeah If you perform the thing in the movie It doesn't make it An adaptation of the thing The only hard It's hitting a 100 mile an hour fastball But it's not You do it well

You get to be a legend forever The same is true here That's the draft plane Sports Joe get in there Thank you I'm a feminist CR's up Okay

Let me just recap We're at Just so I can get a good sense of it Because a lot of Jackass is going This is going really well, right? It's going good. I like how the energy we discussed previously when recorded today, it's like, it's going to be super chill and normal.

So I need a franchise film. They need an original. Isn't that part in the school letter when they like spelled their piece? Wow. Yeah. I'm going to wrap it too? It's called Pump or Neal? Exactly.

Which one is? Rob, do you buy plane tickets on your phone or on your computer? I buy them on my computer. Okay. So you're still one of us. Unfortunately. I get stressed doing it on my phone. I can't do it on my phone.

I don't trust it. No, but that, but that is a real like. millennial laptop generation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a serious purchase that's on the laptop. Yeah, you got to get it out. Of course.

Don't trust the connection. Don't trust anything happening on the phone. But I just wanted to make sure that we were in a safe space. Jack, how are you buying plane tickets? Laptop. Okay. Phone is crazy. I mean, I agree.

Jack's an old soul. That's true. Is that so? I'll change my tickets on my phone after I've purchased them. Well, they've set it up so you have to do it in their app once you are making, and don't even get me started on the upgrade stuff. But, uh. In franchise, I'm taking.

the Twilight Saga, colon, eclipse. Do you want to tell me once again what happens in the eclipse? Yeah, Victoria is creating an army of baby vampires. So that's, that's Dakota? Victoria is Dakota fanning? No, that's Bryce Dallas Howard. Dakota plays... Easy?

The Volturi. The Volturi, yeah. They're on the scene. Jamie Campbell Bauer is a Voltieri. Yeah, he's in there. This is the one where you think that they got the head cut off. Let's bring it on part one. That one rules.

This was Jacob's glow up. He got school. Oh, is when he came through. One night, they're on a mountain, and he has to keep her warm with his wolf. Wolfness? His Supon-Lupine body heat. Maybe it's supine and supine.

Lupine body heat. Honestly, this is one of the things that I miss about the Arklight. The Arklight had that little cool bar, right? Me and Kalika would go. Get a stadium pour. Yeah, we go have a couple of drinks. and then we will go into Twilight. Twilight is fun.

Twilight kept the lights on in this town for a long time. But if you have a couple of drinks and go into Twilight, it is fucking amazing. Okay, I'm gonna make a suggestion. Next time there's a big screening. A lot of these screens we all go do together. Right.

We get there at five. We hit up McGuffins. And we go to Twilight instead. We drink two cocktails. Let's go. I don't know if I can. I think I can pull that off tomorrow. Oh, we're going tomorrow.

Yeah. Mcuffins? And it's a late start. You guys go to Century City? Yes. Oh, let's do it. Yeah. Like, because we're going to need a drink for that.

But it is... That's what I'm saying, Jack's Kirkville. I'm sorry. Oh, sisters are doing it by themselves, for themselves. It feels that way sometimes. It's been five years that he's been saying to say... Yeah, I don't know why.

But Supergirl written and directed by men. No? Funny how that worked out. No, no, no. No? No, is it? Yes. Oh, wow, that's fucked up.

But that is, that's a tough one. I need to get on that. Why are you pointing at Joe? Because Joe is my, Joe is my sister. She keeps me in the feminist. But look, that'll be fun. It's not written by man, but it is directed by man. That would be fun.

That would be fun. And Twilight, you- James. Why did I have to look? Five men, yeah. Twilight was fun because you'd have those drinks. Man, she wanted to fuck him so bad. She loved him.

Lella. Love Edward. Who's the hymn in question? Who are you talking about? Like Edward. But also Jacob, that's the whole thing. But kind of. But when Edward would come on the screen,

you would see that Jacob really couldn't. Jacob was just like, she was running for third. Edward literally sparkled. It's true. And the whole arc light would be full of people going crazy. It was actually a lot of fun. Very Gail Pita.

It was always Peter. Taylor Lautner. Taylor. And what's the... And he married a woman. And her name Taylor. That's right. And her name is also Taylor Lautner.

I think they have a powerful. That's like Madison Bumgarner. Yeah. What's the song? That's like Madison Bumgarner. What's, which one is it? It is. Exactly like that.

In the woods. What's the Taylor Swift song? Are we out of the woods? No, that's Harry Styles. I know it is Harry Styles. This one is slower. Enchanted December. Enchanted.

No. Intented to meet you. Can I just. I think it's called Holococene. Yeah. Twilight Thaga Col and Eclipse was directed by David Slade. Back to December is about Taylor Lutner. Nobody cares about David Slade's work.

David Slade directed 30 days of night. Metalhead. And Metalhead episode of Black Mirror. Oh, yeah. He's an actual. He's an actual. 30 days of night also, fuck wait. Me too.

A shocking pick from CR on the fourth round. You're the best. Okay, now we go to Van. Franchise film, Tron Legacy. You already picked a franchise film. Iron Man, too. But you can pick that in. Good news.

I think it's Oscar nominated. If it's Oscar and I don't want to do Oscar. What are we doing? Vance my guy. Okay, so you know, I'll change the whole pick because I don't know, Tate you taking a number of categories. So I did franchise film already. What do I have left, Jack? Oscar nominee.

It's like an hour to go. Blockbuster. Do we? Blockbuster. I have three more picks to me. Wild card, foreign and animated. I'm not going to get home. Blockbuster.

Oh, man. And Blockbuster. Those are the four. By the way, Enchated in Meuse. The Al-City guy. Yeah, okay. I'll take Tron Legacy and Blockbuster then. Okay.

Which one? Bokbuster, Tron Legacy. Tron Legacy. I have to have it. Okay. Because guess what? I have fun. I liked it.

Guess what? I'll tell you something. It's really fun. At the end of a party, at the end of a party, I think this is when you put on Tron Legacy when everyone's like. Kirsten Dunstan. Sturney. So we're not.

Mm-hmm. It's great. I have fun. They're fighting. Deaged. Jeff Bridges. Michael Sheen is Michael Sheen. Michael Sheen.

Grant Hetler. Remember. Garrett Headland. Gerard Headland. A real potato person. Yeah, that guy. Where's he at there? I don't know.

I can see it, but he did date Kiki for a while. He did. He did. But it was after this. But then remember he was in that Peter Pan movie? Which one? No, I don't remember that. That's exactly the point of point.

I don't remember him. I don't remember him. Oh, dear. Prequel. I remember Troy? Remember Triple Frontier? Of course. I do.

That shit is the bomb. Are you kidding how much we love Triple Frontier on this podcast? No one else likes it. He and I share a Twitkewell. Lost control. I love that. You don't like triple front team? I'm a big fan.

Triple front tiers. That is one of the best scenes ever of like Delta Force Navy Seal guys stalking each other. Call out your kills. I love that choice. The cinema of J.C. Shandor followed closely by Craven the Hunter. You got to do that. It's a tough one. I like that movie.

Okay, good pick. Craving was okay. Who's up now, Mal? No. Rob. Rob. Rob. I like that.

I like that. That's my son. I liked it. I like to have fun at the movies. I will be selecting I Am Love. Oh. You've talked Amanda again. Let me just say something to you now.

Okay. Like, it's a little bit like your single white female. And that's okay. And that's fine. And I love to influence. Some real Jennifer Jasonlyish. Yeah. And that's okay.

Let's start calling Rob Hetty for the rest of it. Can I ask you a question? When did you draft McGruber? I can only be myself. Hide your spike tie heels. Doesn't this kind of also show you the safe space Sean and I create for you here usually? You don't give a fuck about it.

I have you ever seen it? It's Almodova, right? No. So get out of here. It's Shadda's Luka. It's Luca Guadenaeo. Speak on it, Rob. Since you love it so much.

Which category? I'm going to take it in. I'm going to take in foreign animator. Are you going to put artificial up on your Instagram? Instagram, will you save that film? Are you going to distribute artificial on your own dying? It's kind of precious and beautiful, though, that Rob

loves these movies? That's what I'm saying. Like, whenever... Take it as a compliment. It's a great film. It's a wonderful movie. I've never even heard of it. It's beautiful and very sad. And beautiful. Yeah, it's kind of precious and beautiful. Like, he, the same movies that Amanda loves, Rob loves.

That's what's great about movies. That's what's great about movies. He's a totally regular man. You don't want to say it like that. But he, you know, I think this movie is actually incredible. I think it has a lot to say about secrets and family and the European urge to bang your son's best friend.

And who else will speak to that in our time? You do seem prepared to talk about it, but I also feel like you are unibombing her. You are like, guys. Here's what it is. I have a piece of Amanda's hair. Here is a question. How many times in your life?

Have you Googled the actor who plays not the son's best friend, but the son? Oh, you got it for the son? Yeah. Flavio? He has not been in another, he has not done anything else. He's so handsome. Yeah. He is quite handsome.

Really very handsome. There is a moment in this movie where Tilda Swin has long hair and she gets a haircut to get the Tilda Swin. And it's like Thor picking up the hammer. Like it is a super heroic moment that I found incredibly captivating. I am love. Wonderful movie. Really very beautiful. Have you ever been to Milan?

Anyone here, Milan? No, I haven't. I wish. I'd like to go. Not a soul. You guys haven't been? Is this not just American Beauty and these kids? What?

How dare you? Are you saying that this is, what did you pick this in? I was thinking in foreign animated, foreign language animated. Is it in English? It is not. It is in primarily in Italian. Tilda is speaking straight Italian, some Russian. She is married into like a very wealthy Milanese family and doesn't meet with their standards.

and so then she meets a chef, and they have a lot of sex while bumblebee's swirl around. It's a great field. That was kind of upsetting, if I'm being. Exactly. Wow. And that would be a film. Talented and versatile performer.

Yeah. Bumblebee visits Milan? And Fox Tilda. So, just real quick. That's exciting. Real quick. Everybody here has seen this movie. I have.

Oh, okay. Sorry. Part of the desire. Yeah, it's Luke Guadamino. It's like his, kind of his breakthrough. Yeah, his breakthrough. And then he may call me by your name and challengers and,

This is a real time for Dilda, too. Artificial, yeah. Which I would like to see. All right, Amanda. All right. Well, that was a kick in the dick. Would you have taken that? Would that have been your pick here?

Yeah. Well, no, because I didn't, I didn't know that his research was going that deep, but I guess it is. It's fine. I guess this will push me to do foreign language animated now, and I'm going to take dog tooth. The Yorgos Lantamos film that. It's the only good one. Of the Yorgos? You haven't seen of any of the other one.

I saw it. How did you say? The dead The dead deer one That's it That was the title No I saw the lobster And I saw

You're not a fan of the lobster I like the lobster No you saw poor things didn't you? I skipped through it on Hulu Okay What? Jumped around for the sex scenes Well they are powerful

I could see you like you don't know I think he's out No Bagonia No And you didn't do Oh yeah Bologna was pretty good I went to the end of Bologna

to see what people were talking about Okay We're going to know Bagonia gave us up I thought Bologna was good, though. I liked Bagonia. This is the secret behind Chris being able to talk about any subject on any podcast. He's like, I clicked it, I got it.

I get it. You just watch scenes on Twitter, and then you're like, I saw that. I still think his most iconic version of this is that he skips the scenes with the hobbits when he watches the Lord of the Rings. It's incredibly efficient to really watch them. If you're doing that, then literally nothing is sacred when you're going through a movie. I kind of respect this. I respect the fuck out of it. Because those guys are fucking annoying.

Those guys are annoying, man. Different hobbits. You know that's true. Sam and Frodo that I'm like, you guys start the same and end the same and just walk a lot. I'm here for Borumerellian. I'm here for stric. Scumelian, scimilion. The Simmerian.

Sima. What is it going to? How you say? The Book of Eli. He's very excited. He's very excited. He's doing the Simmerillion. I am looking.

What did you pick? Somewhere I mean. Did you pick any of that? I picked Dog Tooth. Dog Tooth is an amazing movie. That's great. That's great. Amazing movie.

Do you think Dog Tooth is? I like the work of Yorgas Landlust, but much like Greenberg, Dog Tooth is on the more fucked up spectrum, which is where I like him to reside. I appreciated poor things, but it was a little too, you know, whimsical costume drama. You Got This Girlie for me. So Dog Tooth is messed up. Do you think Dog Tooth is a good Girl Dad movie? Oh, it's a terrible one.

It's really bad. It's extremely bad. He doesn't let her out of the house. But he's not making any more films, so you're good. Now he's just doing photography. So, you know, I got the last good one. I'm once again worried you're going to take what I want. What does Boromir do?

He dies. His hubris. He thinks he can hold the ring. My captain. He gets me every time. Give them a moment. Who did he say? I think at this point I'm probably just going to take stuff I really enjoy.

As opposed to inception. What if we've been doing here? I think you guys misunderstand what this exercise is. This is not an expression of your life. You guys? It's an expression of Rob trying to take mine. Oh, wow. Yeah, I guess Rob understands it.

Everybody else doesn't understand it. You have the guy sincerely like jackass 3D. Rob, do you use the real wheel? I don't use the... Should I be using the real... I'm careful. You might start out bidding you. I'll tell you what, if Blomberster...

You don't bid on the real real. Fuck. This is fun. This is riveting audio content. What do you think I'm going to do? I'm not going to say it. Mallory, I think she's in a telepathic conversation. He's not going to do what you think he's going to do.

I actually think he is going to do what I want to do. No, he's not. I say we let him do it. I should have done it, honestly, but Rob got in my head. So unless you want to do it. What do you think I'm going to do? Not going to say it until after you mean five. I want to see now.

There's no way you're going to take this movie. I'm taking Tangle. Oh, wow. Okay. So close to what I was worried you were going to do, but not the thing I was worried you were going to do. Tangled is a Disney animated telling of Rapunza. Mani Moot.

They're making a live-action version of it. You're going to have to watch it because it's going to be live-action now. I'll tell you a little bit about it. He does not watch your live-actions. How many Disney movies have you, Chris Ryan, seen in your lifetime? I've seen the classics, right? I've seen a bunch. Ventasia.

Tangled is a little bit overlooked. Lanking? Because in this period, Disney was down a little bit. Little Mermaid? Guys, please. I just picked a movie for Christ. Someone cares. No one cares what Disney movies.

Chris hasn't seen, Amanda. What are you talking about? I think more people do care. They do not. Chris can't think of five Disney movies off the top of his head right now if you had a gun to his head. It's just like a challenge? Go. Elagin.

Jackass is not a Disney movie. Aladdin. Oh, I love Aladdin. Does Star Wars count? No. Have you seen clips of any other animated films recently? Oh, my God. Beauty and the Beast?

Like a Moana clip maybe came across, you know? Aladdin 2 Return of Jafar was right there. It was right there for you. Pride of Zimbab. You haven't seen the movie. I'll talk with Prince of Beech. You've seen Cinderella? Yeah, Beauty and the Beast.

When did you see Cinderella? I mean, which one are we talking about? It's just remarkable. Tell us more about Tingles. Tangles. It's good. It's really good. It's fine. Yeah, it's like a six out of ten.

I took my little sister to see this movie when she was nine years old. She was... Oh, that's cute. You should have led with that. She was staying over with me when we were living in New York. Orch Street? We went on Orchard. No, it might have been... It might have been Brooklyn.

I might have moved to Brooklyn by this point. But we went to the AMC in... Kipps Bay and once you go see this and had an amazing time and then I had the nice opportunity to watch it with my daughter years later and now Rapunzel one of one of her goats. Mandy Moore very good songs are pretty underrated. I see the light

I have crushed at karaoke many times. What's your story here with crushing tangled? I just I think it's a mediocre Disney animated I think it's I think this is straight up better than Frozen to be honest with you. As a non-frozen person I'm kind of with you. The songs aren't nearly as good. I agree with that movie Frozen is not

Don't be right. But it's only the song, because that's what I'm saying. Yeah. The movie is, Frozen, the movie is... I'm with you, Rob. I feel the same way. I've watched Frozen many times. Do you think he's going to change his mind?

Are you worried? What? No. Don't worry, I won't talk about a Tangling. No, no, no. I'm relieved. I'm thrilled. Okay, Mal, you can take what you like now.

I would like you to sing one song from Tangled. Do it. As Zachary Levi. Deeply unproblematic, Zachary. Yeah, great guy. She wasn't back then. I don't think I can. He was cool.

He was like, yeah, we didn't know yet. He was Chuck. Yeah, it was Chuck. We didn't know yet. What's, what's? Someone, can someone hum a tune from it so I can pick it up? I've only seen it the one time. Took my niece and her friends to see it.

I did. That's beautiful. Not a movie any of us were inclined to pick so nobody can help you here, I guess. Tough. I feel good. It's a cute little movie, though. It's good. There's a little like iguana.

Entangled songs in a different key than their original. He's not fucking. It's not fucking. She fights with her hair. That's pretty cool. Harry Potter? What are you so worried about? No, I'm going to pick the animated movie that I thought you were going to pick in Blockbuster.

How to Train Your Dragon a Stone Cold classic. Not a big fan of that movie. What? Oh my God. That movie's amazing. We just taking turns kicking each other into nuts now. That movie's phenomenal. How to Train Your Dragon is excellent and sour.

Was it? Yeah, I don't know. That's how easy. I think that's when it happened. That's when you soured. How to Train Your Dragon is just genuinely like a wonderful film. I have a little toothless plush that I love. up as an icon. The story about of cinema and of the hero's journey, I would say. You know,

the idea that you think you have to live life a certain way and fit a certain archetype and form and be big and strong and then no, you can form your own bond and they did that with each other and they saved their community. You can be a nerd and create Facebook and it's great. There is a little bit of a theme in my list. I will say. I just, I love, I genuinely love how to train your dragon. So that's my pick and blockbuster. And then, And on the turn here, I have two contenders here that I like a lot that are available for Oscar nominee. I'm going to take Winter's Bone. Oh, yeah.

A movie I love really love. And not only was that a big Oscar movie and an excellent film that year, but it kind of like announced J-Law as an Oscar force for a stretch of time. That movie is really upsetting, really harrowing, full of wonderful performances in such an utterly specific sense of place. and family strife. I love it. It's a wonderful film. Deborah Granick, what happened? Was it like

there's extra, whatever, whatever happened with her film? She made a follow-up film with Ben Foster about a man living in the wild

with his daughter. Oh, yeah. Amazing. I'm trying to remember that they came out in 2018, leave no trace. That's right.

Which is a great, great film. But she hasn't made a feature in a long time. Okay. Very, very good movie. John Hawks is. I love that movie.

Unreal in that movie. He is. Winter's bone was kind of a deal. It became a deal. Yeah. It's a great film. Right there at the end. It was a big announcement.

I mean, she had only really done the, what was the sitcom she was on? The Southern comedian who's, she played the daughter. The Bill Ingval show. Bill Ingval, thank you. Then she pulls out the red dress and that was it. Yeah. Remember that joint? Yeah, I sure do.

I remember it. Yep. Then she's there. Then she's everywhere. Mm-hmm. And then she's not. She's not. Okay, I've got franchise film, foreign language, animated, and wildcard left to go.

Hmm Okay I'm gonna take in Foreign Language Animated There's so many good ones here Yeah there are There really are

I'll take Bong Joon's mother God damn it Good one I mean that was never going to come back to me Which is a great thriller about what a mother will do for her son And Like a movie that I did not think was very funny

The first time I saw it because I didn't know as much about Bong's films when I first saw it. And now having seen his entire body work, I think it's very, very funny. There's an incredible moment of exultation at the end of this movie on a bus ride. It was like one of the best things you'll ever see. And this is a great one. So, yeah. Really good pick.

Very good. Great movie. So I have franchise blockbuster and wild card left. And franchise and blockbuster, the good stuff got taken away early. So there are a couple moves, but I have to figure out whether I want to be What kind of cute do I want to be? You know, but I mean, both at this point, you have to be cute. We're not picking from the top of the heap.

But I don't know if I want to really go for it or whether. All right. So Blockbuster. Let's talk about Blockbuster. Here's what's left. Alice in Wonderland. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part one. Despicable Me, Shrek Forever After, The Karate Kid, Clash of the Titans, grownups,

Little Fokkers, Megamind, the King's Beach, and the last airbender. Yeah. Amanda, you love minions. Well, sure. But so here is the question. And that starts the minions, Despicable Me, but it's where do I take it? You know? And what's left over for me?

Yeah, franchisor blockbuster. That's not the question. The question is, what is the other one? Now, I have like a little bit of a franchise, not cheat, but creativity in my back pocket. But then you've got Rob. Yeah, that's true. I will take sex in the city, too. I will do.

Even I'm not going to take that one, though I do think I saw it in theaters. Let's see. You know what? I'm going to do it. I'll do it and I'll do Despicable Me and Walkbuster. I love the minions. I think they're genuinely really funny. And we've had a lot of discussion about what comedy is and is not on this podcast.

But the minions just shouting out, Duelipa lyrics while bopping around and doing physical comedy is, to me, Amanda Dobbins funny. And that's what this is about. The minions are not characters. They're not characters that I thought would still be in my life now. Yeah. But even with the 101 Freeway in Los Angeles. They're on the 101.

And I feel like I work with the Tulsi Gabbard of the minions. The Minionette. Yes. Tulsi Gabbard. I think they show great creativity and comedic ingenuity. So that's where I am. The rest of it grew, whatever. You know, but I think I like.

Minions are barely indespeakable me. Well, it's where they start. That's true. So shout out minions. There's a lot of grew. I know. What do we get this to see of minions and Jennifer Lawrence? Yeah.

Or sit-in-law. Okay. Who's next? Rob Mahoney. I will take Black Swan in Oscar. All right. That's fine. You didn't take it.

I didn't take it. Was not selected as of yet. What's your relationship to ballet? Not profound. Don't chalemae yourself here. Be careful. No, I respect the medium. I just see myself.

Never took classes. Never took classes. Okay. Not opposed to it. Maybe that's another act for me. Do it for content. Put it on the gram. I don't think I'm going to be doing that.

He's too busy broadcasting. Luke of Guadino's on. That's what I'm about. Honestly, I just see myself in Natalie Portman's journey in this movie. I just think our lives parallel a lot. Actually, I see that. Yeah?

I see this draft parallel in that movie the way that you are doubling Amanda in eerie and unsettling ways. Yeah. Okay. Say Milakunis' name. What a pod for her. This movie, which did not go drafted when we did the 2010 draft six years ago when it came out I loved it I absolutely loved it I thought it was brilliant I was very very pro Aronovsky I've not seen it since it came out and I never think about it never I think about it oh yeah we have anxiety so you have anxiety you don't think about not enough apparently no I don't know why I think when I first saw it I realized it would be like a one or two watcher yeah oh it's not pleasant it's unsettling a lot was like that obviously yeah when you're not really well I was like that obviously yeah when you're not really well I'm not really well I was like that obviously yeah when you're not really

I'm watching it, but I think about it a lot. It lingers. Swan Lake is very present in my household with my daughter. In fact, we bought a Swan Lake, like, play-a-long book this weekend, but I never even crossed my mind. Yeah. Well, now I will. Marrying that guy, right? She married. No.

I think you think of J-Law. No, I feel like she was married to a ballet guy. She was. Benjamin Milipier, yeah, they met on this. He was the choreographer. He was the choreographer. Yeah. He was choreographer.

Yeah. I went to something that they had. Did he scammer? He was there. No. some other things happened. Allegations. Yeah.

And I think she's now having a baby with somebody else. Because they divorced. Me. You did draft Trond Legacy or you didn't? I did. And now it's your turn again. Oscar nomination.

Do I have that category left? Mm-hmm. You do. Yes. Yes. Mm-hmm. Incredible movie. That's a good one.

Love it. Love it. I love it. I love it. Now you can't say I liked it anymore. So you got a lot? I loved it. I'm only going with movies.

Obviously, there are movies. But some of these movies, I obviously didn't see them. You saw this in theaters? I did. Yeah. I did.

Like, once the shit started to, like, once again, the arc light, if I'd have been to Baton Rouge, I wouldn't be able to see something. Are you Banksy?

What do you mean? No, I'm not fancy. You think Van would not take credit for every single thing. I actually kind of think he would. Or like, that he would hide behind it.

It would never reveal it to anybody. If I was Banksy, yeah. There are other secrets about me. You guys don't know. That's what I'm saying. I've done. But no.

No one's listening. We're in the third hour. That movie ended up being like a big deal. You had to go see it. And I went and saw it. I was blown away. I didn't really know as much about the entire Bansi thing. But I was really blown away.

What's Banksy's status right now? Like, what's going on? He's in the Department of Defense. I believe he was unmasked. Yeah, revealed. Yeah. And was maybe facing some criminal charges. Oh, well.

Bansi, for what? painting on the walls. Oh. Defacing. That's good. We can live with that. You feel he should be in prison, Chris? I know.

I'm like almost distracted by by Amanda browsing because she doesn't have like any ad blockers on. So it's just like crazy fucking pop-ups. I asked you to stop fucking looking. I'm like, let me use the internet piece.

I said goodbye to the cookies. Uh-huh. And now I've learned that Banksie's name is Robin Gunningham, but we've apparently known this as far back as 2008 if you read the mail on Sunday. What is I'm reading CNN.com. Okay? See how you have a pick. In foreign film, I'm going to take on Sunday.

So I'd like to talk about this for, oh no, I Googled it again and it is eligible. I'm sorry, I retract. I retract my interruption. Denny Villeneuve's 2010 film about poison inheritance. And it's a theme that I think runs through a lot of his films. can even be seen in Dune. Sure. And this one has got one of the most remarkable,

unsettling, chilling endings of any movie you will ever see. Watch it last night for the first time. Had a great time. Amazing movie. Oh, it's a, it's a, it hurts. Really? I saw this here in theaters as part of Bleak Week. When the reveal happens that you're talking about,

it is like the oxygen got sucked out of the room. And it never comes back and, I don't know, call your moms. They've been through a lot. Swimming pools for a while. It certainly does. I did a Q&A with Ariaster after a screening of hered Arreditary of Bleak Week, and the film that was happening immediately after that was that screening of On Sunday that you're talking about. And I met a guy in between screenings, and he was like, I'm not leaving. I'm staying for On Sundy, and I was like, that's quite a day, sir. Pereditary, right of dogs.

That's a tough one. That's a tough man. Great pick. Very, very good movie. Another movie that is, that's kind of a one and done for me. I don't. I don't revisit that one. Did you consider taking an animated film? No. Given your passion for the form? No. I don't think I had one even on the long last year. So, Sierra, you got another pick? No, it's Joe. Joe. Joe, excuse me, Joe, you got two picks. In foreign language slash animated, I will be taking Beautiful starring Javier Bardem. Our guy. Our guy.

It's Cape Fear Summer. I love this movie. This is a really tough watch, but this is like, this is like something he does pretty soon after his Oscar win. And I think it's like a really interesting post-Oscar win choice in Oritou. That's my choice for foreign language film. Okay. Then in Oscar nominee, I will take

Inside Job documentary about the financial crisis. Great movie. Really good pick. That's a good pick. Don't sound so surprised. That's not how I'm just like, ooh. Mary and I'm trapped. Nice.

Yes. That's right. Charles Ferguson. This is also we've hit a stretch of deeply depressing films in consecutive order here on Sunday into beautiful, into Inside Job is, that's a dark, that's a dark core.

The air has kind of gone out of the room. Inside Job feels like a billion years ago in documentary where I was like, this film could make change. If people watch this, they would realize that the world would be different. If you watch social network and Inside Job, we're good. It was really a time when we were like, wow, we're going to fix global warming,

we're going to fix all of it. And guess what, we didn't. No, we didn't do that. Whose fault? Was that our fault? Did we blow it? I'm going to blame the boomers. Not our fault.

They didn't get out of the way. Do you take any responsibility? For what? For the state of the world? A little bit. It's kind of getting to that time. Yeah. We're like, I could have done something.

Yeah. You know, I could have rent for city council. I chose TMZ. I chose not to. You should. Do you think you'd be elected? Too late? White Mill.

What's your platform? Do you think you're, brown hair. Do you think that you're a hinge profile? What's happening? That's what America is looking for, unfortunately. Would we be in the same city council seat

if we ran against each other? I don't think we share. Now, I'll say this. This is a question. The question is, if you two run. On the same ticket or against each other? Against each other. Fuck that same ticket.

Chris would win, obviously. Chris wins? That's sure. Chris, God bless you. Chris wins for sure if you guys run against each other. What if you have to run against Rob? I'm losing. Rob is tall.

You already did who's the face of the ringer. Who was it? Who won? Mallory. Then Mallory's the answer. She's our councilwoman now. Public office is not for me. Okay.

Then Chris is our councilman now. Chris would win the vote. Yeah, I have some skeletons, though. What's your platform? Do you want to workshop it right here in real time? What are your policies? The thing is, is nobody knows more about your skeletons than I do. Who would you invite to be in your couch?

And we know that you would do it? Would you mudsling against CR? Do you would sling? against him? Win at all costs. So you wouldn't, I would never betray Chris. Mr.

6 out of 10 first pick would definitely sling money. I would never betray Chris. The rest of you guys can fuck off the top of that. I would never betray Chris. My platform would be let's just have the World Cup

every day forever. I mean, it's not bad. Everything better, honestly. I don't think City Council is fixing the fucking environment. I'm missed the World Cup

after seeing these videos. I know. Would you get, would that fire be out if you were in charge? Yeah. Okay. For sure.

I would put it up. Would have never started. Yeah. You have a pick here. Is it me or did you... Joanna took two films. I will take an original... Where did it go?

I had it and I was like, great idea, Chris. Sorry. It's fine. I'm just scrolling lists of movies. In original, I'm taking Brooklyn's finest. The Antoine Fuku movie. It's original. Uh-huh.

Stars Richard Gear, Ethan Hawke. Okay. Wesley Snipes? What do you think I'm about to say? I liked it. Awesome. I liked it. You know, it's really good.

I like it. Guys in different cities doing things? No lie. Yeah. One of Ethan Hawks best in the essence. Whoa. Yeah. I believe he's married to Lily Taylor in this film.

Yeah. What else happens? He's corrupt. Richard Gear is being corrupted. Mm-hmm. Cheatel, Wesley Snipes, undercover situation there. It's just a really solid

a six out of ten a cop movie six out of ten. You thought you could tell that they thought it was going to be a bunch of ten. They thought it was going to be training day. Yeah, and it turned out it wasn't.

But it was still, Ethan was cooking. Great job. Rob, what category did you take? Oh, there. Oh, franchise film was McGruber? Yeah, it has a spinoff TV series.

Yeah. Or streaming series. I tried to take Unstoppable original and apparently it happened once. The movie wouldn't exist without the incident. Okay. I think they would have happened upon that plot line eventually, even if it had now. Well, but not in 2010.

Okay. Rob. Is it me? It's Van. Okay. Van. Wild car. Yeah.

Wild car time. Okay. I'm like scared. Due date. Yes. I love due date. I like due date. It's great.

Which one is? I mean, I remember. Let's do date again? It's Robert. Downey Jr. and Zach Galaphanacus. And it's like, oh, right. Yeah, and the dog. It's like, let's, let's, let's, let's, what if Zach Galaphanacus was doing the same thing

in another movie? You like, Downey's here. But Downey's here. It's Iron Man. It's Iron Man and Galvanakis together. Hyjinks. I went and saw. Is it like Briden this?

Isn't he in this in due date? Yes, he is. It's Western Union employee Lonnie. Yeah, and he's like, I got reservations of Chili's later. That's fun. Funny? I liked it. Very fun. That's it. Do date. 49 movies.

It's almost like there were 49 movies for us to drive. I don't think I remember this one. Did I not see this? Hey, man. That bitch came and went. Okay. Yeah. I think it made some money. No, it did make some money. It was a little disappointing because Downey was like, I'm back, Iron Man 2,

and here's what I'm going to do with it. I'm going to do date and the judge. And we were like, this is what you're going to do with this? Well, the judge, you could tell he thought, He wanted that Oscar. I'm about to get on stage, man. Robert Duval dies in his book. You could tell that he thought he was good. And then some of the other choices,

Sherlock Holmes. The first one is serviceable. The second one was bad. Game of shadows. Game of shadows. Game of shadows. Shadows. Now, Sean Connery, I'm not the other than you, Sean Connery. If he were Sherlock Holmes in the film, I would have enjoyed that. If he had been Zach Aliphonakis in due date,

do you think Sean Connery could see Chris Ryan in a Did you see the League? Did you see the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? Of course it. Come on. You guys like? It was not released in 20s. I think you liked it. You liked it. I think I took a nap during that one. Well, it's because you're like a real Dorian Gray guy.

And now it's LXG. You've always been real Dorian Gray guy. Actually, that movie was the start of it. It is Rob's turn to draft. In comedy, I will be selecting another year. I'm having a personal Mike Lee summer. This has been a huge blind spot for me for a long time. I'm starting to rectify it.

I'm just all out here like drinking tea and having overdue emotional conversations. That's a solid one. That's a good movie. Really good movie. Honestly, I was shocked at how much it was like. in Fargo, if it was just like Marge and her husband having people over for dinner all the time, if that was the whole plot of the movie,

fucking loved it. Do you think he's Oroforming right now? Do you think he's like, like, look me up on letterbox, I'm Rob. Can't a guy just pick movies he likes? Because he's got nothing to lose here. Yeah. You know, he can just taste flex. Which, you know, we could all taste flex. He did also pick McGruber.

True. But even McGrueber is considered like a cult favorite, you know? All right. I think there's nothing wrong with it. I think you're picking great movies. Seems like you're shaming me for picking a good move. You're picking great films. There's nothing wrong with it.

I think people who listen to this think, if I were on here, I too would taste flex. But nobody cares about that. Wow. That's not. Also, when the fucking lights are on, you know, and Mao's interrupting me. You have to shut out. Someone said EZA is based on the Scarly letter when it's not. That's right.

You have to take Brooklyn's finest. You got to take train movies. Mike Lee, but go fuck yourself. I have to take Brooklyn's finest. Okay, Amanda. So I have franchise and wildcard left. And in franchise, I thought I was going to be cute, but then I guess... I thought you took the despicable.

That was in Blockbuster? Oh, sorry. Okay. Yep. Though it turns out that I could have just flipped them. But I didn't realize that Harry Potter is still on the board. So I guess I'll do that. It's fine. Harry Potter is in the...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. Part 1. That's right. Which I've seen. Let's talk about the decision to split them up. Good? I mean, essential, honestly. I think for, yeah. Frankly, it probably should have happened sooner.

I'm a fan of part one. That's one of the better movies, even though it was not one of the better reviewed movies. Yeah. I remember liking both of the final two chapters. I mean, it's emotional. Some of the most heart-wrenching moments are in that. Exactly.

And because they split it up, like all of the good stuff is in part one and then part two. It's a little bit of like Wicked Wicked Wicked 2 situation. Yeah. I mean, listen. I get it. You choose him. Oh!

Is that from Wicked? How would Chris respond to having a horrocks locket on him? What do you think? Based on what you've seen today? So Harry Potter, anything? I've seen the Alphonsea Coro one. Yeah, that's good. It was not released in 2010.

One day I was at a bar and it was on a mute, but I don't know which movie it was. You bet. You loved it. What happened? They got to school. It was like when they first got school. Okay. Oh, okay.

So that's probably the first one. But I was like, these are, this is pretty good. Yeah. Okay. Is saying I've only seen the Quaron one, or a farming? Yes. Yes. Definitely.

I didn't say I don't aura farm. I would say, it's a real. It takes one to know one situation. It's also strange now in retrospect that I was at a bar that was playing the first Harry Potter. Why? Yeah, what the fucking was. Was it? Was it like Christmas?

Was it like Christmas? Yeah. they go. That's probably why. Oh, because it was Christmas. It was probably just like they put on a family and they're like. What happens to Harry at the end?

Of Harry Potter, you don't know? No, what happens to him? He becomes a cop. Honestly true. To me, the motherfucker already was a cop. He does become an orer. With a badge. What happens to him?

Seriously, though. He becomes a cop. That's not a joke. Yeah. Harry Potter becomes a police officer? He becomes an auror. Which is a cop. A wizard cop.

Like, I'll do it all of this shit. But that's in part two. In part one. He just has to face his demons. And then he shows up in Brooklyn's fine. He really becomes a cop-or? This is not a bit. Yes, not a bit.

All that shit with some copaganda man. That's nuts, Harry Potter. I didn't know that. Consider the source. He didn't die? Well, he sacrifices himself. I'll send you a chapter. It's called the forest again.

I'll be honest, that part of the mythology is a little rickety. He kind of Kings Cross. He's Jesus Cobb. Goes to Kings Cross Station. Jesus Cobb. We have to explain horror corruption. to you and it's not, there's no time. One character.

Jesus and police. That part doesn't land. There's another chapter involving another character that really does land in part two, and that should have been the end of it. Princess tale? I think so. I mean, is that the- Yeah, I mean, that's like the real conclusion of it.

But no one asked me for edits. Anyway. Andy bought the fix-thage. I said he's got it sewn up. He's got it. You think Andy's changing the ending? Andy's going to be like, Excuse me.

Doesn't work. All right. I'm out. I was going to do Step Up 3D, but. You still can. You have one more pick. You have a wild card pick coming up, so. Oh, I saw it in theater.

Like 6 out of 10? What did you say? It's like, you know, I like it, and I would prefer that John M. Chu kept making step up movies to whatever he was doing. Step Up 3D and Step Up to the streets. Yes. Step Up to the streets was great. And I also enjoyed Step Up Revolution, which I believe why we had those versions of

Finishing returns on Revolution for me. Yeah. Step up to the streets saw in theaters with like 15 Grandland employees and we were like Electric. The original step up was legitimately one of those moments where I was like, you know, it was almost like the cutting edge. Yeah. I was like, yeah, I'm going to be fucking with this movie forever.

Yeah. Of course. I liked it. Yeah. I liked it. Excellent. 3D. You watch the cutting edge with your mom.

Yeah. Topic. Then you got to do morning glory. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Well, I'm just. We've been doing Harrison for Sundays.

Well, okay. Wonderful. So there you go. He's in morning glory. Did we make that clear? Yeah, that's what they said. So we'll do it next Sunday. We'll do Harrison Ford on Sunday.

Who's picked it? Did you guys do Captain America Brave New World yet? Not yet. Harrison Ford Sunday? No. We did Patriot games, a clear present danger. Oh, Jack Ryan Sundays. Yeah.

Clear and present danger rules. This past Sunday, Air Force, won. Nice. Okay. Get off my plane. So some real. So you did geopolitics. Harrison Ford?

Okay. Will you do Frantic? Well, I said that next Sunday was going to be witness and then, and then... I said that next Sunday is going to be witness. But I think it's going to be

more than glory now. We've been doing Harrison... What? Hanover Street. Witness one of the best things ever made. Frantic is worth of watch. Witness Frantic

Working girls in late 80s. Remember when you and I watched Frantic for the first time and we're just texting screenshots back and forth to each other? I mean, he snorts cocaine in a bathroom stall in that movie.

He sure does. If you're not going to text your friends about that. Completely naked. Why watch movies? I put Blayrunner on. 15 minutes my mom was knocked the fuck out.

Knocked out by like how she needed the voice. Maybe she needed the voice over. Yeah, she was fucking done. She was like, I can't do this one, son. That's quite sad. That's big is it? I have a pick.

I can't believe this happened. I didn't even put this down on my board, but I realized for franchise film I was taking Insidious, which is the first installment in a long-running horror series that continues on this year. Insidious Cohen Into the Further, directed by James Wan. Huge breakout hit.

Really solid horror movie. Did it on the rewatchable some years ago. Our homies, Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne, Friends of the Pod, never met either one of them. Love their work. Incredible stuff that they are doing. Yeah, second Patrick Wilson film. Here's the thing, it's always Patrick Wilson Summer.

You can tell me that Patrick Wilson's network. You could tell me that Patrick Wilson's net worth was like $800 million. I was going to say, didn't he just get so much money now? I think he had close on us. I mean, I'm happy for him. He did direct the most recent installment of the insidious franchise. These movies are good. The demon appearing behind, is it behind Rose Byrne when they're having the conversation at the table?

Who are they? Why are they in every movie? I don't know. Who are they in the movies? I've never seen any of these. Who are they? I watch the devil. They're Josh and Renee Lambert.

Who are they in the movies? Like, why are they in everyone? Are they like ghostbuss? Patrick Wilson Rose. Like, they're a married couple who are being haunted by this demon. Oh. And then the demon comes through. Am I thinking of the conjuring?

The conjuring. Yes, they are demon hunters. Beer Farminga. Vera Farminga. Parameda. Right. So that's a different one. Yeah.

And then they also, but they go around, they're ghostbuzzles in that one, like, basically. Does Patrick Wilson do any theater anymore? I'm sure she's like a medium. But like, have you heard about it? But insidious is not connected to that. Patrick Wilson. Same director. James Vaughn is the director and producer of both of the film. Oh, yeah, this is the one where, okay, so they're in the house and like, they're looking around his ghosts everywhere.

It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen clips. Well, yeah, no, I mean, he has a story and career, but like he doesn't, he doesn't use that magical voice anymore. What are you talking about? Oh, she was nominated for me. Okay, Patrick Wilson. He doesn't do any more theater, even though he has all the money in the world. He kind of a man when you think about it, though. That's your pick.

I don't think about it hard. It's true. How did you describe the brand? He's a producer on the lost boys I'm learning. Speaking of Jay Kelly, incredible five-minute flex. Unbelievable. And he's so good and the casting is so delightful. He's not the man in that you wouldn't think about it.

But when you think about it. He's a bit of an hour ago. According to Playbill.com, the last time he was on Broadway was in the normal heart in 2010. Oh, I love the normal heart. Well, I saw it. It was great. But that's 16 years ago. Damn.

I'm glad we brought him. Remember that gap commercial with Claire Naines? Less stage. Anyone about that commercial all the time? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then there's, it's great stuff.

They should re-release those caches. Equally charming, hard candy. Remembering girls? Sure do. Great episode, yeah. That was awesome. Memorable. I mean, if you want to just list like Patrick Wilson being hot in movies.

Remember when he's the fit in the opera? Sure. Sure. Remember when he was in little children? Yes, I do. That was tough. I remember that. I do.

I'm ready. We were just talking about how we feel like the, speak down. Forever hold your peace. You just got to jump in. All right, I'm ready to make my final two picks. My remaining two categories are foreign language slash animated and wildcard. I'm excited by both the movies I get to pick.

I will be taking a foreign language movie now in that category. I thought Chris was going to take this as high as possibly the second round. No joke. I will be taking a profit. You love that movie. I thought you were going to take that. I'm really surprised it. It fell this far.

This is a loaded foreign language year, though. Well, it's the, it was confirmed it was on Sean's life. letterbox and the U.S. release was 10, can 2009. Yeah, 2009 into 2021. For the record, animated foreign language was also a category that we did in the previous

2010 draft and you selected it in that category. Yeah, you love that movie. I'm honestly shocked that you didn't pick it. It's changing. More of a Brooklyn's finest guy. I mean, this is a prison mob like under my wing crime movie. It's amazing. The fact that Christian

ticket is astonishing, but yeah, wonderful performance, great movie. So that's my foreign language anime to pick. And then in Wildcard, I'm wondering if maybe people don't like this movie as much as I do. I'm about to find out, I guess. I'm like astonished. It's still available. Well, I had it. I'll just tell you guys. I had this seventh overall on my board. This was the movie I referenced earlier that I was almost going to take when I ended up taking Winter's Bone. Maybe people don't like

this movie. I love it. The kids are all right? Yeah. I love that movie. It's a great Ruffalo performance. It's a great Julia and Moore performance. Hutcherton Hive always, obviously. It's so complicated family. For me when it came out. loved it, had a great time. I thought you meant like thematically.

I haven't seen it again. I haven't thought about it. Really? Oh, I've revisited that a couple of times. Yeah. But I like, uh. Delightful watch. You love complicated movies.

Yes. You like complicated movie stories. I do. I am surprised that amongst this group that it, it lasts as long as it did. I love that. Was that supposed to mean? We're very white.

Very white. And that movie is very white. Who's white? And when it's, I took Brooklyn's finest. So. But you know, C. You are really.

You know what the vibe is. That's a wrap on my picks. Into the seventh round here. Kind of what? C.R. is like kind of a little bit. Honorary? I mean, I mean, I wouldn't go as far as say honorary. What word would you use?

I don't give out, cookout invitations. It's fine. But, you know, me and him have had conversations about Gucci-May. I texted him on June 10th, and then I felt immediately bad about it. I was like, it's not my place. Did you say happy June 10th? He didn't text me. Here's the thing.

He did something worse. You're welcome for me to stay off work. Wait, wait. He did something worse. He texted me on June teeth, but didn't refer to it. Yeah. So. No, in fact, it was an Instagram

of a dude listening to a 2009 rap mixed tape when they used to have like, it's Mr. Thanksgiving. DJ drama. Damn, son. Damn, son. Where did you find it?

Yeah, I know. I know. You know that I know. Okay. You know that I know. Okay. Who doesn't know is Bill. We gotta feed these streets, son.

We should get you doing drops on mixed-ins. I was wondering. You got to get you to do drops, son. This is, we gotta add this one to the real watchable. But I would want to do it on Phoebe Richard's son. Damn, son, where'd you get this trauma? And it's just like cursing. Oh, my God.

Oh, boy. Damn, Phoebe. Oh, God. Where'd you get that skeleton shirt? Why'd you do that at Paul Meskell? Oh, man. Okay, it's me, right? Yep, mm-hmm.

I got wild card. Some good movies left. Some real good movies left. I don't take one of them. Don't worry, I'll take the last. I'll take what's ever remaining. So does everyone just have wild card left? I'm taking this after your brother's daddy long legs.

Oh, that's good. That's amazing movie. One of their first movies. A very autobiographical portrait of a dad who do not have it together. Trying to take care of two boys. Ronald Bronstein, their co-writer and editor on a lot of their movies is the star of the movie. And so it's mostly like very running gun production. They're a great criterion addition in the movie if you haven't seen it.

And is kind of source code, I would say, for a lot of what they have done over the last 10 or 15 years. A real like following situation. Yeah, exactly. This was one that like if I hadn't gotten to take Blue Valentine in original, I would have tried to take this late in original and seen if you would have allowed it because it is so autobiographical for them. I haven't listed in an original. Yeah, I know. It's the same thing where it's like contemporarily set.

It's inspired by. Yeah. But yeah, I would encourage people to seek out interviews with the safeties or they talk about their dad because it's quite interesting. Joe just swallowing her words every time we talk about what is an original and what is not. It's amazing. You feel that you were wounded by the EZA decision. Yes.

And you're sucking your teeth. I think I'm right. Okay. That's all. This is a real R2D2 should be allowed. The Midi-Clorians are Skywalker. I really do support you in all of your efforts, including ECA, which is a wonderful film. But that seems pretty clear to me.

But we love you. And you're welcome back on the big picture anytime. Oh, I'm welcome. And I feel loved and respected. Okay. We're also right. We're also right. Okay.

I think it's me? Amanda's up. Okay. In Wildcard, listen, like, remember me as shining there for me, and that is one of the most incredible film-going experiences. I've ever had, but I'm not going to disrespect. Pierce Browson that way. You know, everything that happened on that day by picking Remember Me.

So I'm going to do Please Give the Nicole Hollifson movie starring Catherine Keener with just the most enviable wardrobe of all time, but also Rebecca Hall. I got two Rebecca Hall movies. I feel good about that. That's great. Wonderful. Amanda Pete, Oliver Platt. And, you know, it is firmly in the, you know, rich white people with small problems genre, but...

Interesting. I couldn't have somewhere, so I have this instead. And... Damn, son. Where do you get those problems? And I love Nicole Hollisenter's work. And I just... The ways in which everything...

thing is they're more spoken than Sophia a couple of movies they're more word focused which I appreciate and but still equally observed

with the right amount of hating everybody else and also hating yourself and also hoping that things will be okay and having perfect furniture so thank you Nicole Hollif Center

Rob you can't steal that from Amanda now what's next? I would never because I will be selecting the Donnie Yenn classic IP man in Y

child's card. Fucking amazing movie. I've never seen a dude get punched so many times the way to the ground is in this movie. I've got regrets. It man's there. It man's really good. It's there.

It's surprising. What's your profit five years ago, apparently. Yeah. It was six years ago. Yeah. You're one year older than you think. Interestingly, there's a movie that you three all many times on the prior version of this draft.

Like, I can't believe we didn't pick this and none of you have taken it. Interesting. I'll reveal what it is at the end. Because Crystal has a pick so he could take it stuff. I'm on tender. I guarantee you that I'm not going to pick it. Is it burlesque?

Yes. It is. Is it a Serbian film? Van? Yeah. I'm trying to see if I can. This movie had to be released in the United States, right? Yeah.

Foreign language animated is your last category. Yeah, so I couldn't take the foreign language from I wanted to take. Which was what? Uncle Boone me? No, it was 13 assassins. Quality film. Yeah. Not eligible.

Yeah. Takashi Mika. Yeah. So that means I'm taking Mega Mind. Incredible moments. So, I can't. Oh, my God. Is it in somebody else's universe?

Mega Mind is, yeah. What's you part of? I can't remember. A franchise. I only saw MegaMile the one time. But I liked it when I saw it. Even for you, that was a really weak... I liked it.

I liked it when I saw it. I only saw Megamond the one time. But I got 13 assassins. I'm looking at it to make sure it says 2010. Insanely star-studded cast. Oh, yeah. Mega-Mine.

Yeah, like Will Ferrell. Tina Fey. Tina Fey. Who else is in it? Ben Stiller. Ben Stiller. Jonah Hill. Brad Pitt.

Brad Pitt. Wow. That's right. Justin Throw himself, the writer of Iron Man, too. Yeah. Oh, something else about it. Who did the music in Megamai?

I remember this. Philop Glass? Who was it? Hans Zimmer. He also did the music for this recent season of Euphoria. Allegedly. Did he? Oh, yeah.

His team did. Okay. His underling. The Zimmerites. Yeah. The Zimmerettes? Yeah. It's not very nice.

What if there were men and women involved? Is it my turn? It's gender news. It is. Is ETS? Yeah. Why not? In a wild card, but it could have been franchise.

I'm going to take Breck Eisner's the crazies. Yeah, that's a CR pick. I love it. This is a remake of a 1973 George Romero movie. I much like Zach Snyder's Dawn of the Dead, it cooks. I think Romero creates a platform for people to do great work. And Timothy Oliphant plays a sheriff in a small Iowa town where there's a chemical outbreak that turns people into raging violent. Sort of something. Sort of zombies.

Yeah. Rhonda Mitchell's in this, and I just love her. And this is an awesome movie, and this is one of my favorite little, like, subgenres is like small town gone upside down in horror movies. Speak on the cinema of Breck Eisner.

Well, he did this and he did Sahara. Is it my right? And are you familiar with anything else about him? I know that his father is Michael Iser. His father's Michael Iser. Okay. And his name is Breck. His name's probably something else,

and he changed, he's like, goes by Breck, right? Right. Like, Brecken. Yeah. Yeah. Toma Breck or something. It's like short for something. Breck win.

Willa Breck. Willa Breck seems like it could be it. Damn, son. Damn, son. Damn, son. Damn, son. Damn, Breck. Michael Breckenridge.

I got to say. Is it Breckenridge? He's in short for Breckenridge. And they're like, Brexie. If it's 11. If it's 11 p.m. And you're like, I don't feel like going to bed yet. Watch the fucking crazy.

It's a really, really, like, solid two hours. How did you say they became crazy? There's, like, a plane crashes with, like, some chemicals on it, and it spreads throughout the town. Are you concerned at all that that's what's going to happen to us? I'm not convinced that the chemicals have not led us to a four-hour podcast. As Mike Johnson loses control of the caucus. You had that in wild card? Yeah.

Okay, so, Joanna, is it the final pick? Yeah. Hold on one second. I think you have the very last pick. I can't believe there's a new prime minister. I know. You broke that news to me, bud. Wild card is your category.

Correct. You can take any film undrafted released in the year 2010. Some good ones left. I genuinely can't believe this is still available. Feels good. I'll be taking the trip. I almost picked that. I love that to me.

Well, I have bad news, Joe. It's unfortunately not available. It's not eligible. What do me? technically a 2011 U.S. release. I did include it in the letterbox. You put on your letterbox. Oh, damn.

Subterfuge. Wow. That's brutal. That's brutal. That would have been amazing. Joe just, she closed the laptop and everything. That would have been a sick, the hammer pick, too. It was originally in my mind, I was like, this is the ultimate pick in franchise film.

I was, yeah, it was. You can still pick 127 hours. Oh, thank you. Oh. That hasn't been chosen. I wonder why. What do you think it is? Just too tough a subject matter?

Probably so. Tough watch. You said Best Performance of the year, Franco, that year. No, the Swiss Army was the best one of it. I will pick Never Let me go then. That lasted a long time.

Not a fan of that movie. It doesn't have a good category this year. Not a fan. It's one of my ten favorite books ever. So the movie just could. Yeah, it's a hard. It's a loose adaptation. Like, quite loose adaptation.

But it's an incredible. an incredible crop of young actors. Great performances. And great sweaters. And like a really good visual style, I think, as well. But in terms of like adaptation, it is very loose. Well, it was selected second overall the last time this draft was done, you got it at 49. There's a win.

It's a lot of value. Dude, no one took fish tank. What happened? I just almost picked fish tank. Oh, fuck me. You guys talked about fish tank on the last draft. You were like, wow, did none of us pick fish tank? number two on my original list.

Yeah. I had it 11th of my overall list. Oh man, that's a bummer that that's... And I didn't draft it? I feel like I've drafted it at some point. Don't worry. I talked about Fusbender and fucking Lishi Veconda and I think that's basically the same.

You're not wrong. That's an absolutely chilling scene. No one took tiny furniture. Any thoughts on fish tank? I love it. Feel like your life at all or... You could say no. Is this the kind of dirty tricks I can expect out on the campaign trail?

Wow. How would it go? Fish Tank just absolutely just went over. I didn't know. Great, I meant that it was on the board. I would go if you and I ran against each other. I think we would bring decorum back to politics. I think you're right.

So Fish Tank was going to be my number one honorable mention. Yeah. Bummer that that didn't get picked. My other one is Four Lions, which is an amazing British comedy, starring a young Rism Ed. This is the year of tiny furniture. That's right.

And the Dunham's in the breakthrough film right before. by winner. Girls comes, which is a good movie. Hot Tub Time Machine. Classic. Fans, not fans. It's fine.

No one took the King's speech or the Fighter. It's kind of weird. The Fighter, I'm surprised. That one probably could have gone somewhere. The Fighter is one of my favorite Amy Adams'es. Yeah.

But I don't really care about that much. Bail going crazy in that bitch. I almost did King's Speech and Blockbuster, but then I just, I don't know. Why is that movie so roundly hated now? Because it took the best picture Oscar away. from social network. And also because it was so clearly

like a Harvey Weinstein engineered best picture when at the height of some of that. Everybody talks a bunch of shit on it. I remember it was kind of a thing when it came out. People were talking about the movie and the performances. It was a very popular. Yeah, they're not bad in it. It was a thing. It's like a big deal.

And like now it's like one of those ones you look back on it and everybody has something bad to say. Not me. A couple other. I don't know. Oh, you go ahead. Just going to say I have no problem saying that hold the social networks loss against it. When I saw it on theater, this isn't, this is not bad. That's what it is. Solid, but I'm just being a brat.

It's kind of like how you feel about Green Book now, right? No, I like Green Book when he came out, honestly. I said it at the time. I don't think it's a worthy best picture winner. It's a bad best picture winner. Who won the Green Book? What was, what should have won the Green Book? Roma.

Roma. Green Book is an abomination. We did not select the Late Period of Eastwood Classic Hereafter. We did not select. The Valerie Plame film fair game. I've seen it. Damn, Valerie. Where'd you find these states secrets?

That's never not going to work on me. Just listen to two minutes. I hadn't thought about that. Devil. Good movie. Oh, shit. In an elevator. I love that one.

It was very fun. People hated it, though. Do you remember the theater when the devil trailer came out? And you're watching the devil trailer and everyone's like, oh, this looks great, blah, blah, blah. But at the end, it was so low. And then it was, like, at the end, it was like, direct by M-N-I-Sh, from the-M-N-N-Shub. And the entire theater laughed.

He was like, yeah. But then he came back for his corners with the visit, and now he's got us together. Like, he goes. Yeah, that beach that you're old. It's called Old. Yeah. I like that. He goes on little runs, and then it falls off and it's bad and it comes back.

His next film is a collaboration with Nicholas Sparks. It's called Remain. It's a romantic thriller. No, you're probably someone's a ghost. Predators? I love predators. Almost when Predators in franchise.

None of you guys. Predators is that, if you know, you know, Predators. Trash humpers? I'm not for sure. So Predators, real quick, I thought that Adrian and Brody

after Predators was going to go on a little action. That's the one he got an eight pack for her. He got, he went, and he was so believable. He was diesel. And so fucking awesome. I was like, you know what?

He's going to go mainstream for a little while. Cash him checks as an Ashley guy. The Nick Cage face off move. And he was just like, fuck it I'm not into it. Can I put a theory as to why that didn't work for him? Go for it. Did you see Splice from this year? Yes.

I think that's the reason why. Yeah. When he has sex with his surrogate kangaroo daughter. I don't know that. I also like Sweat. I don't. Vincenzo Natale? The cinema of Vincenzo Natale?

I'm not a fruid, but I had to clutch by furles at that one. That was a weird. It's a weird movie. The one who directed that episode of Hannibal where he like comes out of a horse. Yeah, see, I'm cool with that. Yeah. But he's always so frail when he's critically acclaimed

and he was so physically and even energetically dominant in that movie. I thought he had a lane there. He was like, fuck it. What did I draft last time? No one took Guy and Madeline this time either. Throw that one out there. Let's see.

Chris, last time you took Never Let me go in the first round is your drama. You took Jackass 3D in the second round as your comedy or horror pick. You took Shutter Island in the third round as your blockbuster. You took a profit in the fourth round as your animated or foreign language. You took Monsters as your wild card.

And you took Robin Hood as your sequel. I was thinking about doing Robin Hood again. Terrible. Which Robin Hood? The one with Oscar Isaac and Russell Crow. And Kate Blanchett. Oh, shit. Essential movie in the lore of our friendship.

Yes. We recorded a test podcast without a podcast network or proper equipment about the film Robinette in my basement. Do you have the tapes? The Library of Congress has it. Should we recap our time? Woodward and Burns, too. Okay. Should we recap our teams?

Yeah, no more honorable mentions. I got a couple. Country Strong, starring Tim McGrath and Gwrenas Paltrow. I was genuinely wondering if you might draft country. I had it on a wild cut. Listen, crazy things happen, and it's always good to, and Leighton Meester and Garrett Headlands, speaking of. What if you had done Country Strong and remember me? How would you feel about that?

I mean, that is kind of the strategy I brought last. If I were in your drafting spot, like, that's maybe what would have happened. And like, and then EZA and just fully gone for it. And then, um, Ghost Rider? Yeah. Roman Polanski's film. Ewan McGregor, Pierce Broson. Yeah.

It's pretty good. I rewatched part of it last night. And I was like, well, you know, a little rickety, but also very fun. There's a Tom Cruise movie this year. Night and Day. Night and Day. Never seen that. Undrafted?

I saw maybe like 10 minutes of it. I never saw it. It's not great. Some really good foreign language films is here. Carlos, the Olivia S.Aas films. Valhalla Rising from Nick Winding Refan. Secret Sunshine is this year. White Material.

Uncle Boone. Uncle Boone. What else? What are their Oscar nominees? He knows who's going to do that? Pretty good. Machete. Machete. Machete. Paranormal activity, too.

Do you like that, huh? I broke, yeah. I know that I've been potting since 9.45 a.m. It's 4 p.m. now, and that's the funniest thing I've heard all day. And if I could have, like, a full soundboard, I would use it all the time. Like, you would say something really special about entangled, and I would just go Flex mom. Dangles.

Intangles. Damn son, where'd you get that hair? Flex moms. That's something Jack could explore. Yeah. Drop in fun. Put your hand.

I did say, damn son, where'd you find that when I watched Made a Cyford and Chloe? I don't know if you guys have seen. Ah, fucking right. Of course.

Yeah, that's a performance. That's a good one. That's a good one. Okay, let's recap our teams. So, Mal, you had first picks. Why don't you go first? Okay, so in order of the rounds. Round one, social network was my franchise film.

Round two, Blue Valentine, my original. Round three, kick-ass, my comedy. Round four, How to Train Your Dragon, my blockbuster. Round five, Winter's Bowen, my Oscar nom. Round six, a prophet, foreign language are animated. And round seven, the kids are all right, wild card. So pretty good about that. I don't really remember rounds of that.

But I'll try to do it. Round one, in original I took Inception. Round two in comedy, I took the other guys, I think. Round three in Oscar nominee, I took Animal Kingdom. Round four in foreign language, I took Mother. Blockbuster tangled. We don't have to do it in that order. Blockbuster tangled.

In franchise film, I took insidious, and in Wildcard, I took Daddy Longlex. Okay, Amanda. I'm going to try. In Oscar nominee, I took the town in comedy, morning glory, an original Greenberg, in foreign language animated dog tooth in Blockbuster, Despicable Me in franchise Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and in Wildcard,

please give. Rob. I took Toy Story 3 in Blockbuster somewhere in original, although I kind of wish it was comedy still. McGruber in comedy, I am love in foreign or animated, Black Swan in Oscar, another year in actual comedy

and Ip Man in Wildcard. We didn't talk about it, man. It man is that shit, bro. Incredible. Jack, what I draft? I can't remember what I drafted. In comedy,

Van selected Scott Pilgrim versus the world. In franchise film, he took Iron Man 2. In original, he took the book of Eli. In Blockbuster, he took Tron Legacy,

Oscar nominee, exit through the gift shop, wildcard, due date, and foreign slash animated Megamind. One of the all-time draft performance.

Incredible. Also, we just stopped making Jack your PA. I don't remember. You guys, I don't ever do that. He literally texted me on the clock, spammed. He's like, Jack, Jack, what categories do I have left? I saw him at one point, like, pointing you and be like,

I'm here for the vibes with my people, man. Chris, you're up. I don't have this in order. I'm just going to do it because this way I can say that in franchise, I took Twilight Saga Eclipse in original, not based on any previous, ever-existing story that anyone's ever told each other, Brooklyn's finest. In comedy, Jackass 3D, again.

took that one, Anson D in foreign or animated. Oscar nominee was unstoppable for best sound editing. Blackbuster was Shutter Island, and Wild Guard was Breck Eisner's The Crazies. Breck son of Michael. Joanna. Try to do this with no bitterness, Joanna. Come on.

Not I'm full of sweetness and honey. In franchise film, I took The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo. In original, not based on any pre-existing source material, I took salt. In comedy, I took EasyA. In foreign language slash animated, I took Beautiful. In Oscar nominee, I took Inside Job. In Blockbuster, I took True Grit. And in Wildcard, I took Never Let Me Go. Just clarifying one thing, Rob said McGruber in comedy, he took it in franchise film. You're absolutely right. Thank you. That's it. How did this stack up? Yeah, I think this went really well.

Had a blast. Pretty normal. I think we'll get some good feedback on this one. Probably, honestly. And I'll consume all of it. People like the mania. Yeah. I love this team. I'm proud of this team. It's the best.

So this is a very special. Not fucking around, crew. I think next year you should pick a worst year for films and have us pick more. It's like 60 films deep. 70 movies, but for like the worst. Yeah. For like the pure COVID year. I mean, this is where I want us to go with this project.

You know, it's like how hard can we scrape the bottom of that barrel? That's what I'm saying. Well, thank you to Vase. Thank you to Mal. Thank you to CR. Thank you to Joe. Thank you to Rob. Thank you to Jack Sanders.

Thanks to Lucas Cavanaugh. Thanks to everyone here at Spotify. She did great work today. Amanda, do you feel you deserve a thank you at the end of every episode? Should we bake that in? When will I get a thanks? Will that ever happen? Indeed.

This is a fucking show. Chris, like, don't talk to a woman like that. Chris, can you just help me with my Google right now? You know, so next episode, we're talking about Supergirl and Jackass Best and Last in The Invite. Those are the three films. How many people have seen the invite? Does anybody? I almost made an invite reference on this podcast, but.

A little early. Well, you know, I never know where in time we are, but I held it back. Wow. I'm just living in the now. You're like Joe Biden. Yeah. We just do the Supergirl podcast from the bar. From McGuffins?

Yeah, from McGuffin. Do we have a McGuffin's date tomorrow? Yeah, we tried, but that was like three hours ago. Isn't the screening at like 7.30? Yeah. Yeah. And then do like a 10 p.m. From the bar podcast with great audio that Jack will love.

From our iPhones? Yeah. Or should we just go on IG Live? Oh, IG Live. A 10-person IG Live. How late does McGuffin stay open? Never closes. Okay.
