THE FILM HARMONIC

Episode 37 is devoted entirely to breaking down the upcoming Oscars and offering each of our predictions in the most important categories. 

We also take some time to celebrate crossing the one year mark in our history. 

Cheers! 

Almost a year into the show and we've finally caved in to spilling out our opinions on music! This took much longer than we expected, really. 

For PART ONE of the music episodes, we rank our TEN FAVORITE TRACKS OF 2019 and TEN FAVORITE ALBUMS OF 2019. We've done this kind of thing in our friendship for the better part of a decade and a half, so it's particularly fun to record these rankings for the first time on the show. 

Cheers! 

Episode 36 unleashes the extravaganza that is LISTMANIA! 

First we break down each one of our 10 FAVORITE FILMS OF 2019, which then gives way to the gargantuan task of ranking our 10 FAVORITE FILMS OF THE DECADE. 

Needless to say, this one's a doozie. If we come out of this one alive, it's officially time to turn the page to a new year, a new decade. 

Cheers! 

Episode 35 begins with a discussion on the film that has recently taken the world by storm, Sam Mendes' WWI tension-inducer, 1917. Listen to hear where we land on the picture. 

The decade-centric lists keep rolling along! Our picks for the 10 BEST FOREIGN FILMS OF THE 2010's happens now. Many countries represented here. 

We're one week away from the much anticipated LISTMANIA episode! We'll soon be counting down our 10 FAVORITES OF 2019 and our 10 FAVORITES OF THE 2010's. 

Cheers!

Hello 2020! We start the new decade with a discussion on Terrence Malick's latest, a historical epic made with his distinct vision, A HIDDEN LIFE. 

The rest of the show is occupied by a lengthy countdown of each of our picks for the TEN BEST COMEDIES OF THE DECADE. There might be some fun surprises littered throughout these lists. 

Cheers! 

Our final episode of the year begins with a discussion on the kinetic new Safdie Brothers film, UNCUT GEMS. 

From there we transition into a more warm-hearted picture, Greta Gerwig's adaptation of the much-loved LITTLE WOMEN. 

For the latest decade-themed PICK SIX, we dive into our selections for the BEST ACTION FILMS OF THE 1990's. Some silly, silly revisits happened for this one. 

Closing out the show, as always, is the THROWBACK CHALLENGE. Andy was tasked to see Danny Boyle's MILLIONS, while Noah sat down with Lasse Hallstrom's MY LIFE AS A DOG. 

Cheers and thanks for a solid 2019!

We dive right into the latest episode with a discussion of Clint Eastwood's newest modern-hero-centric film, RICHARD JEWELL. Find out what our take is on this one, if you wish. 

Then, Noah has FIVE GOOD QUESTIONS for Andy regarding the once-again-remade slasher horror movie, BLACK CHRISTMAS.  It's the first of our Sophia Takal focused films of the week. 

After this, the PICK SIX segment offers up a fun discussion of our favorite HEIST FILMS OF ALL-TIME. Stay tuned to see if MASTER OF DISGUISE really ranks high on each/both of our lists. 

For the next THROWBACK CHALLENGE, Noah challenges Andy with a viewing of Paddy Considine's sophomore effort, 2017's JOURNEYMAN, while Andy pitches Noah an experience with the aforementioned Sophia Takal's 2016 film, ALWAYS SHINE. 

Noah is partaking in Sierra Nevada's Celebration IPA, while Andy basks in the warmth that is JubelAle by Deschutes. Cheers!  

It's time to celebrate Episode 30! 

The first film of the week is Noah Baumbach's much-acclaimed MARRIAGE STORY, starring Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson. Find out if the guys are in the same camp that consider this one of the essential films of the year. 

From there a double segment of FIVE GOOD QUESTIONS begins. Noah asks Andy about the latest film from Trey Edward Shults, WAVES, while Andy shoots questions Noah's way regarding Shia Labeouf's long-gestating passion project, HONEY BOY. 

The newest PICK SIX revolves around one of Noah's personal favorite guilty pleasures...the SINGLE LOCATION film. We rank our absolute favorites within this specific genre. 

Closing out the show is another current-decade-centric THROWBACK CHALLENGE. Andy sat down with the 2014 German film, PHOENIX, while Noah completes his Steve McQueen odyssey with a watch of the 2011 film, SHAME. 

Noah is enjoying Clausthaler NA Dry Hopped, and Andy partakes in one of his favorite winter seasonals, Blackout Stout by Great Lakes Brewing. Cheers! 

One of the few times when you can actually declare a film as one of the biggest events of the year is here! Martin Scorsese's long-awaited THE IRISHMAN has been thrust onto the universe, and we dive head first.
