On this episode of I Finally Watched, the hosts dive into Annie Hall, the movie that more or less invented the modern rom-com as we know it. From neurotic love stories and fourth-wall breaks to bittersweet realism, they unpack why this film is the granddaddy of every quirky, talky romance that came after—and whether it still works for first-time viewers today. Funny, thoughtful, and a little existential, just like the movie itself. 🎬💔

In this episode of I Finally Watched…, the hosts kick off their In Memoriam Month by revisiting Sidney Pollack’s 1975 political thriller Three Days of the Condor. They break down the film’s paranoid tone, slow-burn suspense, and Cold War anxieties, while discussing why Robert Redford’s understated performance as an unwitting CIA analyst remains so effective. The conversation then shifts to a reflection on Redford’s career and cultural impact following his death, highlighting how Condor fits into his legacy as both a movie star and a defining figure of 1970s American cinema.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, YA'LL!! 

What makes Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) a Christmas movie? Is it that they wish each other a Merry Christmas a couple of times? Is it the Christmas lights in the park during the chase scene OR is it Michelle Monaghan's short Santa dress?
