Hello listener! Our names are Shaun and Verity and welcome to our new podcast 'Nobody Puts Movies In An Order', an eternal hunt for the ultimate cinematic masterpiece based on empirical and conclusive evidence (in our humble opinions, of course).
Every other week, we'll sit down and compare two films based on the same theme. They might be similar, they might not... that's the fun of the game. We'll each give them some points based on pre-determined categories, and throw them up onto our leaderboard as we search for the best film of all time. Is art this subjective? We don't know and we don't actually care... because we're going to try it anyway! We start with episode one on Thursday October 3rd on the theme "the highest grossing pictures of all-time, adjusted for inflation", so it's Gone With The Wind (1939) vs. Avatar (2009). May the best film win!
A massive thank you goes to Emma Thorpe, the composer and producer of our theme music!
We'd like to apologise for our technical difficulties that you can hear on Shaun's end in this introductory episode. We hope to have fixed the issues by our first episode on Thursday October 3rd.
