×Our good friend, Connor, joins us to discuss #79 on the top AFI 100 list, "The Wild Bunch". Directed by Sam Peckinpah in 1969, it's a movie about horses and people running away from a railroad executive. Special guest is "Chema" Hernandez, uncredited head animal trainer for the movie.

1:00:07Like mighty gladiators, Matt, Harrison, and Liz slay your doldrums with insightful commentary and new scenes that would make even Spartacus say, "They are better!" Harrison said that it's #80 (it's actually #81) and he was so wrong about it. He thought about just re-recording the whole thing but the others would surely kill him. Guest Liz Reuss joins us for the fun! Twitter: liz_reuss Instagram: lizrollsreuss…
The conceit of "We Made It Better" is that we think it can move up... provided there were some changes. AFI ranks this as #82 but after our changes, who knows?! Matt and Harrison make it better.
Matt and Harrison delve into the real world effects of Thano's snap aka The Decimation and what would happen if people came back 5 years later.
Heather is back! Maybe we'll just do episodes when the three of us are all together. Iceberg ahead?! We go through the wonder that is Titanic!
We went looking for the American Dream and we couldn't find it anywhere. "Easy Rider" is positioned as the best road trip movie by many. We take a long trip with this one as we travel with them to the Big Easy and then to parts unknown. We thank Pat Tamisiea for joinging us on this one!

51:47Our first entry on to the list from the legendary Marx Brothers! There's some nuggets of goodness from this movie although all I could think is that everyone associated with the film is probably now passed on. Tragedy + Time = Comedy Enjoy our take at "A Night at the Opera"!
Sorry about the sound quality on this one. I'm not sure what happened but if you like muffled, electronica -- strap on your diaper. For #86, we visit "Platoon". It's a harrowing look into the human animal situated in a war far from home. Charlie Sheen has HIV now. If you wanted to see how he rose, here's probably where it all started.…

1:07:29According to many people, this movie defines the genre of "screwball comedy". It's a pretty simple formula: add a couple of leopards, an heiress, a paleontologist, and a million dollars and you'll end up with hi-jinx galore! Christine Lin joins us for a ride into the beautiful and the absurd.
There's actually going to be a "Love Actually" sequel coming out. Not as a movie of course. RIP Alan Rickman. You dodged a bullet.
Be break into the 80s on the list and what a way to do so! At first you think it's going one way and then BOOM we hit you over the head with a twist so awesome you have to completely recontextualize your life!! Enjoy!
It's been a long, long time but here we are in 2017. Unfortunately, we lost Heather to Chicago but we wish nothing but happiness for her as she hopefully finds her cousin, Balky. #90 is "Swing Time". It's quite a hoot of a film and there's a hum-dinger of what is supposed to be a homage. We'll not spoil you here, fair listener! Enjoy!…

Polish in origin, yet punished to go to Auschwitz, she's given an impossible choice. Thus, the movie. Anyhoo, Heather, Matt, and Harrison tackle the drama that is "Sophie's Choice" and the enigma that is Stingo.…

Clearly there's a romanticized view of mafia life in "Goodfellas". . . at least when they're not being pinched. Heather, Matt, and Harrison pick their sides.

Apparently Harrison had no control over his levels. You'll hear some "clipping". That's what's it's called in the biz when the level of input "overwhelms" the recording and you get "loud static". Anyway, it's been addressed and I assure you that the next recording will be like fine china. Anyhoo, coming in at #94 is 1994's "Pulp Fiction". Quentin Tarantino had already made a name for himself with "Reservoir Dogs" in 1992 and he did not disappoint with his follow-up. It's a podcast for the ages! (Mainly because it's our longest one yet. Bear in mind, we edited this down. We promise not to go over 90 minutes in the future. This one is under 90.) Here's Heather on "Let's Make a Deal". http://www.cbs.com/shows/lets_make_a_deal/video/EID10rQwU_VOrAh_Qn3fQ4XTba_WqH31/let-s-make-a-deal-3-21-2016/…
Harrison tells the others that he expressed his love of Cameron to her on a fateful night at Second City. He believes she's still waiting for him. BTW, this was a cut off the Pulp Fiction track that is still being edited. It's almost done. Thank you for listening!

1:14:24For whatever reason, the recording quit just as we were finishing that's why it ends the way it does. Either that or we wanted the Inception ending -- are we just dreams or are we living in a reality? Well, if it's 1951 in the dying town of Anarene, Texas, you'd rather live in a dream. Why? Take a listen and you'll find out. Life is bleak and love fleeting even if it's the likes of the prettiest gal this side of the Mississippi.…
