On today's podcast, Mark and Anthony discuss the 1942 romantic drama "Casablanca", a film frequently placed alongside "Citizen Kane" as the greatest film of all time. We look at the historical nature of the film and its impact on an America entering World War II, as well as its themes.

In today's episode, we talk about the 2006 comedy-drama "Little Miss Sunshine", a film that possessed a realistic portrayal of a flawed middle income family trying to drive the young daughter Olive (Abigail Breslin) to a beauty pageant. We discuss the film's themes and its critique on modern society's views of success, failure, and self-image.

Anthony and Mark kick off the month of March with the new theme of discussing acclaimed films neither of them had previously seen before. The first of these is "Drive", a character driven, 80s infused neo-noir crime drama starring Ryan Gosling. We look at the film's strong cinematography, the potency of an anti-hero, and the characteristics and history of film noir.

To end our theme of romantic films for the month of February, we look at the King of romance epics--James Cameron's iconic "Titanic", which smashed the box office back in 1997, becoming the highest grossing film of all time ($1.84 billion), and only the second film to ever win 11 Oscars. We look at the film's incredible production design and technical achievements, but also at the rich thematic material embedded within in its story.

In this week's episode, Mark and Anthony discuss the 1998 romantic comedy "You've Got Mail", which featured the third and thus far the last collaboration between Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. We discuss the pre-digital era the film was set in as well as the pros and cons of online communication.

For Valentine's Day, Mark and Anthony discuss the hit romantic drama The Notebook, starring Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling.

In honor of Groundhog Day a couple days ago, Mark and Anthony discuss Harold Ramis' comedy classic starring Bill Murray, including its thematic depth and significance to growing up as an adult.

On the last podcast for January, Mark and Anthony discuss "Taken", a crime action film that single handedly transformed Liam Neeson into an action star, while also influencing later action films such as John Wick. The film also brought the important real world issue of human trafficking to the forefront, while also investigating moral lines in its protagonist.

In today's episode, we discuss the 1963 comedy "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World", a film that featured an ensemble cast filled with comedy stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood. We talk about the film itself and further note how the MPAA ratings system has changed over the years for movies.

In this week's episode of Buddy Movies, Mark and Anthony discuss Steven Spielberg's 1993 Best Picture Winner "Schindler's List", a historical film on arguably the lowest point in human history--the Holocaust.
