There are those who will tell you that Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo" is the single greatest film ever made, and there are those you will tell you it is an overrated, convoluted mess. Who better to take a deep dive off the top of a bell tower into this 1958 legendary movie than the boys of The Bluff Council!? Steady yourself... this is our "Vertigo" episode.

The title kind of says it all, doesn't it? While 2023 will likely be remembered as a particularly strong year for cinema, they all can't be winners. In this episode, Keith and Ev each pick their five least favorite films of the year, which include a number of major box office successes. We're sure everyone's responses to our insulting the films they love will be measured and thoughtful, though.

The Bluff Council is turning 100 and just as you would expect, we are confused, cranky, and constantly screaming our thoughts into the void. In celebration of this momentous event, we are doing something special: two films in one episode! And what a natural pairing: "On Golden Pond," the 1981 classic starring Henry Fonda, Katherine Hepburn, and Jane Fonda, and that focuses on the challenges of aging, complex family dynamics, and a genuine fear of mortality, and "There's Something About Mary," the 1998 movie where Cameron Diaz smears c** in her hair. Oh, but it is so much more than just that, isn't it...?

Join us as we take a joyous romp into these two famous films and what makes them so memorable and so fun. If you've ever watched even just a snippet of one of our episodes, thank you. We genuinely appreciate you. We regret to inform you, we'll be here for at least a hundred more. THANK YOU ALL.

00:00 - Intro / It's our 100th episode!!

"Crash" (2004) is famously one of the most polarizing films of all time. It was released to wide acclaim and went on to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards, defeating "Brokeback Mountain" in one of the great upsets in Oscars history. Is it as bad as everyone says it is? Does it deserve all the hate? In this segment of our larger episode on the film, we discuss some of our complaints.

Most of our episodes can be found right here on YouTube, but ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE we will be releasing some of our episodes only on our Patreon channel. This is one of those episodes. To watch the full conversation, hop over to Patreon and check it out!

Merry Christmas? Bah, humbug! "Elf" is widely beloved, and considered by many to be a modern Christmas classic, but Ev doesn't get the hype, and thinks that it's actually... gulp a BAD movie. Scoop yourself up a large serving of figgy pudding and let's get into Jon Favreau's "Elf," the 2003 Christmas comedy starring Will Ferrell, James Caan, Ed Asner, Mary Steenburgen, and Zooey Deschanel.

00:00 - Intro / Ev is Scrooge

"Casablanca" is at or near the top of most "Best Films of All Time" Lists, but is it REALLY that good!? Yes. Yes it is. Made in 1942 and starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, the film sets a high bar with a timeless script, excellent performances, and beautiful black and white cinematography.

It's not all "butterflies and gumdrops," though; join us as we discuss all the greatness and a few minor complaints about "Casablanca."

00:00 - Intro / The Bluffers have spoken and they wanted "Classic Cinema"

Thank you so much for watching.

It was a resounding commercial success when it was released in 1994, and it launched Jim Carrey to superstardom. It sparked a sequel, a cartoon series, a spinoff TV movie, and COUNTLESS teenage boys saying "Allllllllll righty then". But now, almost thirty years later, has any 90's comedy aged as poorly as "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective?"

There is a LOT to unpack here. Join the Bluff Boyz as they dive into all things Ace.

00:00 - Intro / Keith has been waiting for this for his entire life

For millennials of a certain age, "Hook" is a beloved favorite. It's got stars (Robin Williams! Dustin Hoffman! Julia Roberts!), it's got production value, it's got the beloved Peter Pan IP, and it's got the most famous film director of all time. Only problem is... Spielberg hates it! Most of the stars didn't enjoy it! It was largely savaged by critics and was considered a commercial flop upon its release! How on God's green earth did this film miss!?

Join us in Neverland (the imaginary one, not the real-life horror show one (OK but we do spend a second there, too...)) as we dive into all the good and all the bad of "Hook," Steven Spielberg's 1991 Peter Pan extravaganza.

00:00 - Intro / This movie is bonkers

In 2009, we were introduced to Zack Snyder's vision of "Watchmen," the heralded graphic novel from the 1980s. It was immediately an incredibly polarizing film, with some deeming it a brilliant, ahead-of-its-time adaptation, and others infuriated by what they viewed as a bastardization of the beloved source material. After this decade-plus of superhero films... we look back and talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of "Watchmen."
