On the last episode of Podcast Racing, my friends and I delved into slightly more serious subject matter than what is usually discussed on this podcast. In today's episode, I decided to do something a bit more fun and light-hearted. My very good friends BEN, TIM, and I (as well as a welcome surprise guest) will be sharing our top 5 favorite Star Wars characters. Remember that we will be sharing our opinions and there are so many great and iconic characters in this franchise, so if we do not mention a certain character that you love then please don't get upset at us for neglecting to mention them. I hope you enjoy :)

Ben's Picks:

LS

LC

CD

Tim's Picks:

My Picks:

This may just be the best episode of my podcast that I have ever released! Often in movies and television, the struggles and inner thoughts of the patriarch of a relationship or family are portrayed, but the wife or mother's perspective is an afterthought or not really presented at all. This is the case with movies such as Oppenheimer and Top Gun: Maverick, as well as TV shows like Breaking Bad and the Sopranos. My good friends MICHAELA, MADDE, JOHN, EVAN, and I will be discussing why this is the case as well as dissecting the psychologies behind the most famous examples of this imbalance.

Mild SPOILERS for Avatar: The Way of Water, Killers of the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer, and the Star Wars films will be in this episode.

A brand new episode of Podcast Racing...released on a Monday!? What is this madness?

Avengers: Endgame

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

Goodfellas

About two months ago, Netflix released their live-action remake of the beloved Nickelodeon series Avatar: The Last Airbender. In today’s episode of Podcast Racing, WILLIAM, TABETHA, and I will be sharing our thoughts on this remake and if we are excited for seasons 2 and 3.

Recently, Christopher Nolan finally won an Oscar for Oppenheimer. In a brand new episode of Podcast Racing, I will be ranking all 12 feature-length films that the talented Academy-Award winner has directed from Worst to Best along with my very good friend BRIAN. I know that this episode is very long, but we have a LOT to say about Nolan and his filmography so I hope you will still enjoy it despite the length. There also are some audio issues due to recording through my phone on top of a table with wobbly legs. Let me know in the Q&A section below what your ranking of his films would be :)

There will be SPOILERS for all of Christopher Nolan's movies.

On the last episode of Podcast Racing, my good friends Brian and Percy and I attempted to answer the difficult question asked to all cinephiles, “What is Your Favorite Movie?” Today, my friends MARYANN and BRIAN (different Brian) and I will attempt to answer a somewhat easier question, “Who is Your Favorite Movie Director?” or rather, our top five favorite movie directors. Let me know in the Q&A section below who your favorite movie directors are :)

Spoilers for 2001: A Space Odyssey are in this episode.

Brian's top 5 favorite directors:

MS, SS, FFC, SK, DL

MaryAnn's:

MV, MH, SS, AF, KB

Mine:

AK, SS, HM, BJH, CN

A question I and most cinephiles get asked is, “what is your favorite movie?”. That has always been a difficult question for me to answer. How can you pick just one movie from over a century of cinema to be the definitive best you have ever seen? I still cannot properly answer that question, but I am going to try to in today's episode of Podcast Racing. My friends BRIAN and PERCY and I will be sharing our favorites from the three main mediums of cinematic storytelling: animation, comedy, and drama, and then from there we will attempt to pick one movie that is our current favorite.

Throughout almost the entirety of this episode there is excessive background noise, and I apologize for the annoying sounds, but I hope you are still able to enjoy today’s episode.

Our favorite movie picks are listed down below in just their first initials:

Percy:

B, BB, FMF*

Brian:

ATSV, EEAAO, LLL*

Me:

ITSV, SS*, SLIH

It is extremely likely that films such as Barbie and Oppenheimer will be nominated for multiple categories at the Oscars this year. Is this decision justified, or are there other underrated films more worthy of awards recognition? In today’s episode of Podcast Racing, I will share my personal picks for Best Picture, Director, and Acting if I were in charge of the Oscars along with my very good friends MARYANN and BRIAN. I hope you enjoy :)

SPOILERS for the movies below:

Anatomy of a Fall

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

Barbie

Ferrari

The Godfather

Killers of the Flower Moon

Oppenheimer

(NOTE: This episode was recorded before the Oscar nominations were announced. In addition, I would now replace my own nomination for Erika Alexander with Emily Blunt. Also, Brian mentioned that he had not seen Poor Things at the time of recording. Since recording this episode, he has seen the movie and would definitely nominate it for several categories.)

What better way to end the year than to listen to a brand new episode of Podcast Racing? I am very excited to share some thoughts on the new DC cinematic universe helmed by James Gunn and Peter Safran with two friends of mine who have never been on the podcast before: BRIAN and PERCY! :D

I hope that 2024 will be a good year for you all and that you enjoy today's episode! Please let me know your thoughts on the upcoming DC “reboot” in the Q&A section.

Many Star Wars fans, especially Rebels lovers, seem to love the new Ahsoka series. Was that the case for my good friend Tim and I? Hear our SPOILER-FILLED thoughts in today’s episode of Podcast Racing.

(In this episode, I incorrectly said that Lars Mikkelsen only played Thrawn in live-action form.)
