7 minutes

“Is ‘Amélie’ really a better love story than ‘Road House’? And did Jonah Hill actually make baseball interesting?”In this delightfully unpredictable episode of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina “K-Ray” Ray—dives headfirst into the New York Times’ Top 100 Movies of the 21st Century list, and things get hilariously off the rails.From debating the emotional power of Amélie to questioning the realism of Moneyball, the gang brings their signature mix of insight, irreverence, and movie nerd passion. Skin breaks down the brilliance (and frustration) of The Master, KT confesses his confusion over Oldboy, and Ben can’t stop laughing at the idea of Road House being the gold standard for romance.Funniest and Most Memorable Moments:“Is Hopper most known for Easy Rider?” “No. Hoosiers.” “No. Speed.” — A perfectly chaotic filmography debate.🍅 “Roma—it’s about tomatoes.” — KT’s take on Alfonso Cuarón’s Oscar-nominated masterpiece.🎸 “Jonah Hill is great. Seymour Hoffman’s wonderful. But five minutes in, I’m yelling at the screen.” — Skin on the sports inaccuracies in Moneyball.💔 “Scientology, black magic, and a manipulative theologian—yep, it’s a Paul Thomas Anderson film.”Whether you're a cinephile, a casual moviegoer, or just here for the laughs, this episode is packed with hot takes, deep dives, and the kind of banter that only The Ben and Skin Show can deliver.
