Despite what my intro will tell you, this is in fact episode 229. We are reviewing the beloved classic Gone with the Wind from 1939. We felt we needed to balance our diet of junk watches with a hearty film we can really sink our teeth into. If you haven't seen it yet we both recommend it, or you could listen to us talk about it for half the runtime of the actual movie, a Line of Sight first! We usually talk about a movie for longer than the runtime.

Oscar is coming. Are you ready? We did our best to watch a bunch of the Academy Award nominees, but as always there are too many to see, and too many that we have no interest to see. We discuss Belfast, tick tick...BOOM!, Being The Ricardos, Spencer, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, West Side Story, Dune, Don't Look Up, and the highly nominated The Power of the Dog. We'll tell you our picks for the winners, but don't use them for any Oscar pools because we're sure they won't all be winners. With nominations like they already aren't.

These are the crown jewels to Kevin Feige's accomplishment with this franchise. There is no denying that these are in fact "something special."

Bigfoot - myth or legend, fact or fiction? Either way, I think we can all agree that Harry and the Hendersons is the best visual representation of Sasquatch on film, and the best movie about Sasquatch. This week we discuss the film for longer than the film's actual run time, but it must be talked about. This is culturally significant, much like the discovery of an actual Bigfoot.

It's time for Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the crescendo to The Infinity Saga. Oddly enough, neither of these have anything to do with Infinity Stones. We're going a little bit out of order in the interest of flow, starting with 2016's Captain America: Civil War, which sparks a bit of a civil war between co-hosts. We then skip forward, release date-wise, to 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming because why not? They take place right after each other and are directly connected.

Let's face it, not a lot of new movies came out last year, and if they did who went out to see them? Sure there were a few direct to streaming, but we could barely come up with a list of ten that we saw, let alone a top ten. So these are our favourite movies that we watched for the first time in 2020. They range in age from the 1930's right up to 2020. One list is a little more "high brow" or "critically praised" (i.e. pretentious) and the other is more "fun" and "authentic" (i.e. dumb). What could be on these lists? There's only one way to find out. Maybe they'll be your next favourite movie.

Have you ever had a perfect 3 course meal? You start with a surprisingly great appetizer full of flavour that did just as it's name implies: it appetized you. You think it can't get much better than that, but then they bring out the entré, and against all odds it was just as good as the first course. Now some time has passed, you've had this food sitting in your belly for a while, and they're about to bring you your dessert. Do you really need this dessert? Is it going to ruin a good thing? You're both looking forward to it and also afraid of it tarnishing your view of this complete dinner. When it arrives you find that it not only compliments the rest of your meal, but it fully completes it. It hits the spot in every way. You get up to walk away from this meal completely satisfied....
But then, before you're out the door, a disheveled man rushes in and hands you more food. "I didn't order this. I don't need this," You say to the man. But he insists you need to eat it. If you enjoyed the rest of the meal you'll enjoy this too. You look it over. It looks like a microwaved-from-frozen version of the meal you just ate. Sure the pieces look the same, but the food completely misses the mark. The flavours are contradictory to what made the first three courses so good, and it's completely unnecessary. That dessert was a perfect ending and this new dish is taking away from the perfection of that ending. It's edible, and was served in the same restaurant, but why was this even made?
Anyway, enough about a strange encounter I had at The Olive Garden, let's talk about Toy Story 4...

You know what's weird? Twins. You know what's even weirder? When two movies with the same general plot/premise come out within the same year. Since we're in the end times, we might as well start off with two "rock from space is going to end the world" movies released in 1998: Armageddon and Deep Impact.

It was 1982 when Steven Spielberg introduced us to the lovable extra-terrestrial ET, and set our hearts aglow, much like the titular character's own chest cavity... and Nathan had never seen it!

G'day, mate. We throw another shrimp on the barbie and review what is possibly the greatest comedy of the 90's, Dumb and Dumber, as well as it's 20-year-later sequel Dumb and Dumber To. Does it live up to the original, or is it just a crossbreed of bulldog and a shih-tzu?
