Its time to knock off a "we'll get to it one day" flick... this week we hit #3 so its Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece, SEVEN SAMURAI (#3 on the board). One of the most influential war epics of all time, this one might take two separate viewings to finish, but its well worth your time.

Our ULTIMATE shamer, this week we landed on E.T. The Extraterrestrial (#7 on the board), an all time great that, shockingly, neither Drew nor Jared had seen before this episode. A warm blanket of a film that lives up to every bit of hype.

We lived a few weeks while we loved this movie... its IN A LONELY PLACE (#1 on the board), directed by Nicholas Ray, and starring Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame. Don't be scared by the black and white film stock, this one is timeless.

Get out your notepads folks, this week we're digging into ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN (#14 on the board). Directed by Alan J. Pakula, starring Robert Redford, Dustin Hoffman, and Jason "Big Dog" Robards. This one is a ton of fun, if you love movies like SPOTLIGHT (2015) or ZODIAC (2007), or if you're into true crime, politics, or journalism, we think you'll really dig this one.

Surprise! This week you get an extra episode, as - in a real show of our amateurism - SLING BLADE (#10 on the board) was unavailable to rent on any digital service anywhere. Thankfully Jared found a physical copy. This is a weird one folks.

This week we're talking trains, heists, and some of the best angry New Yorkers ever put to screen. We watched THE TAKING OF PELHAM 123 (#13 on the board), directed by Joseph Sargent and starring Walter Matthau, Robert Shaw, and Martin Balsam making his second DBMN appearance in only three episodes.

Up next is Lee Chang Dong's stone cold masterpiece BURNING (#17 on the board), starring Yoo Ah-in, Jeon Jong-seo, and Steven Yeun. We do our best to unpack a movie that is wholly unique and refuses to abide by the traditional laws of storytelling.

***Apologies for the audio this week, it will be much better on all future episodes, we promise!***
This week we watched CATCH-22 (#10 on the board), Mike Nichols 1970 film starring Alan Arkin, Jon Voigt, and Charles Grodin. A crazy mishmash of war epic, comedy, and psychological drama that left both of us with our jaws on the floor.
