Considering the Cinema Ep. 086: Considering the NY Times' 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century (and the year 2000)
In Episode 086 of Considering the Cinema, your hosts — Jason Pyles, Mack Robins, and Dave Becker — are Considering the New York Times' 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century (and the year 2000), a list that's bold, baffling, and sure to stir debate! But there's an odd twist … the Times seems to think the year 2000 is part of the 21st century (it's not), and Jason's co-hosts were not given advance notice about this episode's topic. That's right — Jason springs this mystery agenda on Mack and Dave in real time, creating an off-the-cuff episode that's unfiltered, unprepared, and unexpectedly insightful!
Despite the surprise, your hosts charge headlong through the NYT list, highlighting the films that deserve to be there, calling out those that don't, and passionately lamenting the glaring omissions with an extensive list of oversights over their own at the end of the show. Jason also reveals what he believes to be "the most underrated, under-appreciated film of all time" — Mack is man enough to admit when he hasn't seen a well-known film — and Dave reveals that he doesn't give a damn about Jay's rules for the episode! As the trio reflects, reacts, and builds their own Top 100 lists on the fly, listeners are treated to a spirited and spontaneous discussion and debates that challenge the canon and champions the overlooked and under-appreciated. If you love movies — and strong opinions about them — this is one cinematic showdown you won't want to miss!
Note from Jason: Though I have no love for The New York Times, I maintain some sense of decorum and will not publish its entire list here in the show notes. Therefore, I will include important and notable highlights from this episode! Join us!
Another note: This episode was recorded on July 8, 2025, and it released on July 22, 2025.
Jay of the Dead also hosts a WEEKLY HORROR MOVIE PODCAST with Mister Watson at Horror Movie Weekly.com. And of course, every Horror fan should check out Jay of the Dead's New Horror Movies, The Gold Standard of Horror Movie Podcasts.
