Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful

We have a very special treat for you today. We’re starting a new feature for the site, a definitive list of the greatest films of all time as selected by us, and we’re taking a whole episode of the podcast to start the list off with a bang. The format is fairly simple. Start with one film. In the case of our list, we start with Mortdecai. That’s now the list. Then we consider another film, say, John Wick. Is John Wick a better film than Mordecai? It is. It is therefore placed above Mortdecai on the list. Every time we bring up a film in the podcast, or whenever we feel like it, we will continue to organically grow the list until it is complete or the universe ends in heat death. Or possibly we get bored and abandon the project. Who can predict the future in the vicissitudes of possibility?

Not I.

Regardless, we need to offer kind thanks to Cris Sims and Matt Wilson of War Rocket Ajax who began a similar (and original) list with regards to comics, and from whom we stole this idea. Thanks boys!

Finally, the list will be added to the bar at the top so you can easily reference which are, and are not, the greatest films of all time. Joy!

The bed music during our advertising is an old loop by Dan of Steel!

Go Plug Yourself 106: Alex Rose Finally Returns!

Holy crap you guys, it’s been 80 episodes since we last had Alex Rose on the show! Since that time Alex has taken his cinephile antics to the next level as he presently serves as the Film & TV Editor over at Cult Mtl. Alex talks about all kinds of things, B list celebrities, probably the greatest way to wake up on a beach following an epic St-Jean Baptiste party and of course, our spot on the Best of Montreal.

What is our spot? Well, the print issue is out right now so you can find out there. Or you can listen to the episode, you know, one or the other. Eventually it will be online. Eventually.

As always, a big thank you to the providers of our theme song: Aural Turpitude!
