Our anonymous co-host picks this Japanese anime about dreams and it did a number on Jacob's brain. Our anonymous co-host picked this film because there was a rumor that it is what inspired Christopher Nolan in making Inception. We find that rumor to be a bit of a stretch. Additionally, the boys try to dissect the poems in the film and the meaning of the main characters dreams (with an emphasis on "try"), and talk about how dark and creepy the film is overall. Especially the parade music. Next time you have a bad dream, you better hope Paprika is there to save it.

This movie was directed by Satoshi Kon.

Way too many silent movie jokes were made in the making of this episode. That's right, Jacob has picked a silent movie. At the time of the recording of this episode, Jacob had just started his watch through of AFI's 100 Years 100 Movies list and he saved this Charlie Chaplin movie just for Tate and our anonymous third co-host. The pick is 1931's City Lights.

This movie was directed by Charlie Chaplin.

The GD4AM Boys are joined today by Ashley from The Dime Bag Wine Podcast. Before we sat down to watch Legally Blonde though, we drank multiple bottles of wine on Ashley's podcast so be sure to check that episode out which should be dropping soon! Ashley picks a long-time favorite of her's, 2001's Legally Blonde, of course starring the iconic Reese Witherspoon. It's a fun episode with maybe a word or two slurred due to the aforementioned bottles of wine.

This episode features our first international film, but more importantly, a foreign language film we review. Tate picks this 2020 Italian film that is based on true events. That line is key. Later in the episode the anonymous third co-host and Jacob get into somewhat of a heated debate on whether or not deviating from the truth and actual events should impact your opinion of the movie. Tate and Jacob also talk about absolute freedom and conditional freedom. We cover a lot of random stuff in here.

This movie was directed by Sydney Sibilia.

For some reason, Jacob is very angry in the review of this episode. An investigation is currently ongoing and Jacob is not taking any questions at this time. The movie the anonymous third co-host picked is one of the most absurdly named movies in the history of cinema: The Guernsey Literary Potato Peel Pie Society from 2018. Your favorite cohosts discuss everything from what they would change with the movie, what they did and didn't like, and the beautiful scenery.

In this jam-packed episode, Tate and Jacob invite The Deucecast Movie Show's Michael Nipp on to talk about the 2021 Oscars. We go through each category and say which movie we think SHOULD win and which movie we think WILL win.

On this episode of the GD4AM, Jacob introduces Tate and our anonymous third co-host to the Muppets by picking 2011's The Muppets. The Muppets were a mainstay in Jacob's childhood but not so much for the other two. We talk about how cool it is for people to get to work on passion projects as Jason Segel did with this movie. Jacob also spends some time talking about how he almost cried during a lot of the songs.

Randomly selected from listener submissions, we review 2007's There Will Be Blood, starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano. Two-thirds of the podcast but didn't quite know how we felt about it on the first watch. Our anonymous third co-host was a There Will Be Blood virgin. We discuss the anxiety-inducing score, the performances, and get confused as to who Sinclair is and isn't.

BACK TO THE THEATER!!! Well at least for two-thirds of the podcast hosts. Tate and Jacob head to the theater while our anonymous third co-host gets stuck at work and has to watch it at home. In what was pretty much two monsters fighting in a WWE match, everybody had a lot of fun watching and reviewing this movie. If you're a trailer skipper - don't go too far ahead because you don't want to miss the opening stinger.

This movie was directed by Adam Wingard.
