Yea I watched the first ep this afternoon too. Good mindless fun to have on in the background! Gonna try the show Jason mentioned too, Alone. That looks interesting

I'm probably going to be one of the few No votes, so I'll offer my thought on it. Basically, I keep thinking about something Amy brought up earlier in the Unspooled series, about being blinded by the firsts. This is an early rom-com, early Capra, early screwball comedy. But I think there are better rom-coms, and better Capras, and better screwball comedies. This movie is textbook influential, for sure, but I'm not sold on it being textbook 'great'.

Just one time so far, but I love it yea. Reminds me of the "Things Have Changed" style of writing from him, which is my favorite. I think maybe a few songs drag a little for me, but for the most part, it's going to be fun to keep digging into it.

I mean, he needs something to back-up his claim to be from New Zealand. It certainly wasn't his accent.

Also Shelley Long is evil because of her devil spawn child

The final four! 6/25 It Happened One Night 7/1 Jaws 7/8 Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid 7/15 Casablanca After that, we get Unspooled 2: Electric Boogaloo! Stay tuned to see what that means. I think what we know so far: it isn't list-based, but there's a lot of movies to watch for it.

Yea I loved this movie so much. So much. I love that all the bits are about food & shelter, it makes this more than just a comment on modernization. It's about the basics. Life! And love, too. Existence. I have this top-7 and as I keep thinking about the list, as we get to the end here, it may go higher.

Paul, June, and Jason discuss the 1984 martial arts action horror film Ninja III: The Domination. They talk about the V8 sex scene, aerobics, ninja possessions, and more. Plus, Paul sharess his childhood V8 recipe. Please visit these links Justice for Breonna Taylor Black Lives Matter Campaign Zero EJI Vote

I think it should just morph into other biopics. Like Fanny falls in love with Chaplin or Raging Bull and that's the second half

Yea, this. My big question is actually, she seems pretty mediocre, right? I didn't quite get how she succeeded. She had characters and stuff?

If anyone wants a free option (i.e., with ads), Funny Girl is also on the Pluto TV app

Excited to watch some Gertz for next week!

Hot date?

I thought Paul & Amy had a fascinating discussion about some of the complexities that are buried in Shane. But I also felt like, they were digging hard for them. Is this really truly a deconstruction of Western mythology and violence? I'm not so sure it gets there, to be honest. I have a hard time seeing it being that much of a statement. It's not far from it, though. Maybe with some more focus, better writing, better direction, it could have got there easily enough. Like for example... with the wife. I didn't need some explicit romance/cuckolding, but they could've really tied the emotions up better to it give it more feeling (like maybe they kiss once or had a past or something). Instead it's just... bland. It's interesting -- I never mention or really think about the technical side of these films, but I HAD to mention it here in my Letterboxd review. So I was amused when Paul & Amy made that hard pivot to break it down too. Some of it is glaringly amateur. And for me, that itself keeps it off this "top 100 movies ever" list. I mean, it's silly, but look again at that guy's hat flying off in the video I posted above. Why? Why be so silly? Why do it that way? I guess, I really WANT this to be the film Paul & Amy discussed, but I'm not sure it is.

I watched this scene like 5 times in a row, because the way the guy's hat flies off made me laugh really hard.

Not Meet The Fockers? Haha but ya I'm mostly the same. I saw her A Star Is Born and I like her in it, but none of her other classics and I'm looking forward to that

Thanks for noticing and correcting!

This is perfection

Urban dictionary has quite a few sex definitions for "V8" https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=V8

that's a good question and could be opened wider: what movies, whether on the list or not, define an entire genre?

Yea true. I need to talk about V8 though!

The movie read as fairly anti-cop to me. They all come off like inept dolts in it. They're no match for a ninja, even in helicopters and 3 feet away from him with machine guns.
