Episode 11: Argo (2012)
The Quest for the Bestest
12/16/20 • 33 min
The Back Log Boys are headed to the 2010s for the first time since the very beginning of the show! America seems to be getting a pretty bad rap with the movies that we've seen. Will they be able to handle the pressure of Ben Affleck's 2012 historical drama ARGO? This movie definitely makes a splash one way or another, but it remains to be seen if it's a graceful nose-dive or a glorious belly-flop. Of course we'll be placing our trust into the hands of the random number wheel and finding out what film is up next at the end of the episode.

Tucker does not think that crime films are cool or even fun watching. So what will he think of William Friedkin's grimy New York City and the cops and criminals who duke it out? You might be surprised at his reaction. As for the other Back Log Boys, they've got their opinions too! How does The French Connection compare to The Godfather films? Can we even compare them?

Who knew a movie from the 40s could be so relevant for today? Certainly not the Back Log Boys before we watched it!

Out of all the wars, the conflict in Vietnam is surely a strange one to be an aficionado of. That doesn't stop Timo, though.

Or does it pale in comparison to other movies of the same conflagration? And as always, find out what movie we'll be tackling next week with our random spin at the end of the episode.

The Quest for the Bestest

Is it Out of Africa or Out of 7 dollars and 25 cents? We debate the pros and the cons of Sydney Pollack's 1985 historical film. What does the colonialist setting mean for a modern viewing?
