A spice-y movie.

Citizen Kane, this ain't. But it's about Citizen Kane, so it's not bad.

Most superhero movies are good superhero movies, but bad movies. This one is not a good superhero movie, but is a good movie.

I could nerd out about how to use animation to tell stories for twice as long.

Doug Jones and Del Toro, you've done it again.

On the one hand, it's pretty clear that this was based on a play. On the other hand, it's a dang good play.

The long edits are back, and with bonus BEAR AHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT'S A BEAR!

Hey, did you know that you can make movies with long takes? Did Gravity not convince you? Have I got a movie for you.

A film by a great director, which changed the way movies are made for years to come, but you can tell it was written by the director and he desperately needed an editor. Not to be confused with Avatar, the film by a great director, which changed...hey, wait a minute!

Daniel Day Lewis, you've done it again!

Black and white? Silent film? What year is it?

Wow, Christian Bale, you crazy.

Maybe we'll watch the sequel one day.

They somehow made Ralph Fiennes more creepy. How did they do that?

Not the best three-quel we've ever watched.

A movie where no one wins, everything is sadness, and the acting is really really good.

Not quite as good as the last movie with multiple overlapping storylines, sadly.

It's about time we watch a Pixar movie.

We watched the short version, so only 3.5 hours. A nice relaxing watch.

Tom Hanks is...a bad guy? Gasp.

This is a good movie, and I will not do you the disservice to make any joke about the plot here, because those jokes could spoil it for you.

Color is important.

Gilbert, and also Sullivan? Andy Serkis actually on screen? Yes please.

Matt Damon!

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeear

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar

I poooooooooooooped in your caaaaaaaaaaar.

But seriously, this thing is a filmmaking masterpiece, either for the story that made people go nuts when it came out, or the insane levels of models and sets made.

Hey, you wanna get some Old Dutch chips and watch some Fargo?

Yeah.

Oh yeah?

Yeah.

A good movie, but would have been better with zombies.

A movie, faithfully recreating terrible movies. It's impressive how bad it looks.

Melodica Jurassic Park song

Old men with guns. It's kinda good.

An animated movie! And one that's completely animated, not just Roger Rabbit. A shame this one isn't as good as Roger Rabbit.

From this point on, every Native American actor we see in a movie will probably also have been in this movie.

This is some good Robin Williams.

Daniel nerds out about classic animation for an entire podcast.

Get some good history up in there.

Helena Bonham Carter, before Johnny Depp.

Starring a man who sounds like he plays golf.

A hometown hero, in a questionable movie with really good pop music.

Dad, are you space?

Turns out, biopics tend to be good movies.

This is where that song, with people running on the beach, that one? This is the movie that song is from.

It's good for other things, but it also did that.

Follow the adventures of Sexual Assault Man!

We manage to watch a movie about unionizing without editorializing about current events. Good job, us.

It's apparently still the era for commenting on the Vietnam War. Also, wow, Jon Voight is unrecognizable as a young man.

Yo, Adrian!

This movie is funny. And not because of jokes at people's expense, or anything like that. It's vaudeville, it's clean, it's simple, and it's just silly.

Casual chauvinism and great costumes.

Communists!

A surprisingly low amount of sexy times, based on the title.

Jane Fonda is naked. It's...not the only thing that happens in the movie, but it's not exactly a barnburner of a film.
