Nick, Jacob and Will dive off a sinking ship and get stuck on a lifeboat together, but they're two Stanleys and some buoyancy tanks so they're lost at sea forever discussing Hitchcock's 1944 film Lifeboat. We talk about the wartime portrayal of Germans as literal Ubermenchen, what kind of surgery can be done with a three inch pocket knive, and what "energy pills" meant for Captain Willi. Also discussed: The anatomy of a chair, where is its nose?

Nick, Jacob and Will demolish a town in 2003's Northfork. We discuss what it means to be a Ford person or a Chevy person, how to waste an Anthony Edwards and whether or not all planes go to heaven. Also...lots of dam jokes.

Nick, Jacob and Will take jobs as freelance actors and end up in a family of chimps! The guys talk Holy Motors, a crazy French impressionist film that leaves quite an impression on our hosts! What is a sewer leprechaun? Why is Eva Mendes here? What is identity? All things we get into!

Nick, Jacob and Will go to the 8th dimension and come back with snacks and an extra personality! It's really good and fun and you should listen!

Nick, Jacob and Will celebrate professional amateurism (is that a thing?) watching 2013's Fateful Findings! We talk about the uncanny valley, lizard lip kissing and that 12 year olds have a better conception of what sex is than this movie. This one almost broke Nick, because of all the stories humans tell, this movie is none of them...on the other hand Jacob and Will were inspired by the audacity of doing something so badly and loudly. What side do you fall on? Find out on this episode of The List!!

Nick, Jacob and Will go back to the 90's to go back to the 80's, taking a trip to a Wyoming liquor store and watching SLC Punk! The guys discuss their own experiences being and feeling like posers, try to decide if you can be a punk and go to Harvard law school, and whether your ideas are really that secure if you can have them exploded by a two minute conversation with an 19 year old. This is a movie that carries books it hasn't read, but that's okay because its dad did their admissions essay!

Nick, Jacob and Will don't speak Spanish while watching Jim Jarmusch's Limits of Control! The guys talk about the surprisingly boring life of an international assassin, a definition of nudity and what the best beverages are to eat a piece of paper with! Is this film a criticism of American cultural and political hegemony or just a pleasant little film about art and murder? Also, two extremely unexpected impressions! You won't be able to guess!

Nick, Jacob and Will witness Richard Kelley's end of the world and they are not particularly impressed with what they see. The guys watch 2006's Southland Tales and talk about bong rip profundity, horny SUV's and Mr. Ice Cream. This movie is insane, though...the cast list is chock full of SNL alums, actors, directors, musicians, wrestlers and even Wallace Shawn! Jacob talks perpetual motion and energy, Nick dives into the Marx family tree, and Will pulls out some Zizek because Will is absolutely insufferable!

Nick, Jacob and Will take on the afterlife in DMT/death film Enter The Void. Three guys who have neither died nor taken any drugs discuss ideal drugs to die on and the afterlife they'd prefer and opt out of sharing their cornerstone memories. We talk trauma, fixation and OH MY GOD WE'RE IN THE FRONT ROW AT A GWAR SHOW, WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT! Also, weirdly a lot of talk about the mating habits of seahorses and a sex-seahorse-ouroboros?

The guys also give a little of their individual brands: Nick does a long digression on the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Jacob introduces our listener to Control Theory and Will gets wildly uncomfortable with the amount of sex jokes made about a movie with a ton of sex in it. "I'm not judging, I'm just asking!"

Nick, Jacob and Will get in too deep in 2019's Uncut Gems! The discussion goes to every pawn shop in town, talking about leaf peeping, dramatic Sandler, and not understanding how luck works. The fellas try to discuss their own levels of risk management when compared with Howie's, what compulsive gambling looks like and the appropriate etiquette for having your son take a number two at your mistress's apartment (that you pay for). Also, Nick pitches the Swedish Transformer Megatron who's final form is an unassembled Ikea desk! Call us Michael Bay!
