It's On The List
Gerry and Sammy talk about movies. Old, new, bad, good, and everything in between. Generally, two films that are loosely connected in some form or fashion will be discussed in each episode, but the boys will divert from this format to rank the filmographies of certain directors, discuss end-of-the-year best-of lists, etc. Come listen to the two smartest people in the world deliver their objectively correct analyses on a variety of films. Hosts: Gerry Hartman, Sammy Ray. Theme song produced by Eric Powell
It's On The List
#55: Dissociating at the Zoo
Sammy and Gerry tackle one of the great pop melodramatists of his time - you know him, you love him, it's the one and only Cameron Crowe. The boys discuss his despairing Y2K head-trip, Vanilla Sky (2001), and his beautifully bittersweet family drama We Bought a Zoo (2011). They discuss the effectiveness of his cornball leanings, his excellent direction of actors, and the amount of times that they cried listening to Matt Damon talk about that damn zoo. Contains spoilers for both films.
