First off, apologies this one gets cut off, but you really don't miss anything, we were basically done and wrapping up.

Lauras does a bit of a deep dive into her favorite movie of all time and it's a really good conversation. The thing about this film that folks tend to forget is...how truly amazing it really is. We've all seen, most of us multiple times and it's easy to dismiss it cause we have all seen it. But, truly, watch it again with a critical eye and you will remember how amazing it really is.

Enjoy.

Darryl talks about what makes him love a movie, in detail, with a list of things and everything.

Fortunately Laura loved the movie as well, cause that would have been super awkward if she hated it.

Listen in as they talk about Darryl's favorite movie of all time.

A kinda lackluster year for the best picture nominees. A

The Films:

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

Front/Nixon

Milk

The Reader

Slumdog Millionaire 

Laura adds a bit to our conversation about the Princess Bride, the only cross over we have in our top twenty list.

This is an interesting one. Darryl posits a question...does a film actually need a point? He's heard the criticism of folks asking, "What was the point of this movie?" and asks Laura if a film truly needs a point to make it good. And ohhh the hilarity that ensues. 

The films: 

Atonement

Juno

Michel Clayton

No Country For Old Men

There Will Be Blood

Listen in as Darryl goes on about how important the Muppets were to his development as a person and how impactful this movie was in his life. 

And if you do not like the muppets, we cannot be friends. Seek help, there is something seriously wrong with you. 

A bit of a rant in this one as Laura and Darryl dive into the standardization of the nominated films and their disappointment. Let us know in the comments if you agree with their thoughts.

Considering the other films released that year, these make sense, but are not overall top quality releases in our opinion. 

The Films:

Babel

Departed

Letters From Iwo Jima

Little Miss Sunshine

The Queen
