Hey Folks! We managed to watch all top 100 movies of all time (well kind of). We rank them along with a discussion of Citizen Kane. This is going to be our last podcast for awhile as we are taking a break, so we wanted to thank you all for the support. We hope this is just an "until later" as opposed to an actual goodbye, but regardless, Markus and I have thoroughly enjoyed this journey, and we appreciate you all. Thank you
