You'd think that with discussing long movies, Dave, Mikey &
Pinky would make it a long episode. Ironically, it only takes them
an hour to tell you about their favorite movies that clock in at
150 minutes or more. And what discussion about being long winded
would be complete without the long winded Film Historian himself,
the Wit Stillman fan, the Brie Lover (Allison, Larsen & the
cheese), the Terrance Malick Apologist and winner of the Nobel
Prize for Proctology, Dr Earl. Kicking off the episode, Birthday
Movies reminds you of the fabulous films that came out in previous
Novembers like Fred Claus (2007) and Starship Troopers (1997) and
Piranha II (1982) and of course Dave's 50th favorite film of all
time, The Bodyguard! Plus, a great reminder of Dr Earl's official
diagnosis concerning the death of Whitney Houston. Then, a rousing
game of Denzel, with names like Harrison Ford and Martin Starr and
Sam Waterston and of course, Denzel Washington! Then, the Top Five
takes on "overstuffed" movies, as in, those movies running 2 and a
half hours or longer. The crew gives movies ranging from 153
minutes to a whopping 295 minutes... and if you watched all 20 of
these films straight in a row, you'd be watching for almost 65
straight hours. Overstuffed films like Magnolia... Heat... Short
Cuts... a Lord of the Rings film... JFK... and if you've ever
wondered what is the most Inuit movie ever made, please pull up a
sitting room chair to Dr. Earl's pretentious corner. Also, Mikey's
Wyatt Earp loses again to Dave's Tombstone. And finally, America's
favorite movie podcast segment featuring the musical stylings of
OMD... Pretty in Pink!
