Sean staring at Amanda while describing Punch-Drunk Love as relatable bc it's about a man struggling to find joy who is surrounded by hateful women lmao
Solaris, Road to Perdition, Death to Smoochy, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Equilibrium, The Count of Monte Cristo, and Changing Lanes are some underrated dark horses from that year. John Q was a big deal when it came out but pretty much never gets talked about now. Red Dragon and Insomnia are decent too. This pod needed like 3 more people to draft to really mine the depths of 2002.
Totally agree. I didn't get the consensus that it was a weak film year. I'd add City of God, Narc and About Schmidt. I took a glance at the years that bookend it, and I'll take 2002 over 2001 and 2003.
@@ibezzant Oh wow, I just assumed City of God got drafted. I didn't see a summary of all their picks anywhere, so I think I lost track. To their credit, they had some deep picks that I hadn't thought of in years.
@@bassman729 ahhhh. That's why Sean drafted Spirited Away which technically was released in 2001. I was wondering about that. So a lot of foreign films will be eligible a year after their official release year. Makes sense.
I can normally deal with Amanda shrugging off generationally beloved movies; but her shrugging off both LOTR and Spirited Away and then going into excruciating detail about bottom of the barrel, reactionary romcoms was rough.
I love the pod, but she honestly cannot help but take needless swipes at LOTR whenever it is mentioned on a pod. It's fine if it isn't your thing, but she looooves to clown on it.
They’re always in a great mood, and it makes me happy just listening to them. But on this one Amanda was really having a good time at her job, Sean’s jokes were the wittiest they’ve been, and CR always looks like the dude you wanna grab a beer and watch a game with.
Bearded Sean is making me consider switching my allegiances away from The CR Heads and following my Lord of Letterboxd into battle! Jk, I could never abandon my CR brethren’s!
Amanda’s story about the soap at 35:00 is just insane. For one, electronic sinks work 99% of the time. Second, why would you use soap first? Soap goes on easier if your hands are wet.
Biggest oversight is no mention of the all-time classic, Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. Honorable mentions to Robin Williams' dark turns (Insomnia, One Hour Photo, and Death to Smoochy).
not to be too serious here because i love that the big pic gets super silly, but this ep was almost unwatchable at points. amanda's constant derailment of the actual exercise really drove me crazy. LOVE her, but sometimes it's just like--can we get on with it and stop giggling through the entire show? i don't know if it's adding the filming component, but it has seemed worse lately.
To be fair, the one thing I read in the piece about Andrew McCarthy says this: And of Andrew McCarthy, one of the New York-based actors in St. Elmo's Fire, a co-star says, "he plays all his roles with too much of the same intensity. I don't think he'll make it." I'm not crying tears for Andrew McCarthy, but I'm sure that made him paranoid. And for someone young and an actor - they do seem to be a different breed - it does seem like a thing he could fixate on for decades. The term Brat Pack seems to have had a very "Scarlet Letter" effect on him.
I love how Dobbins just can't for the life of her give any SciFi/fantasy or animated movie a chance. Sean mentions one of the greatest films of the decade and she's just like "YEAH YEAH YEAH--CONGRATULATIONS" I swear any movie that doesn't take place in an era or setting that she can understand is not a valid art to her or somehow beneath her. Unfortunately that puts sci-fi and fantasy completely out of the realm of her comprehension and it's hilarious. It also gives those types of genres way less exposure on this pod. I mean look at Sean like trying to wedge this in here and how awkward it makes him feel.
Love the 'Misunderstood' category! Also, in all fairness to Sean, I had the sane reaction as Amanda when he said he was Joy 😂 Can't wait till Amanda starts asking automatic taps to clear their cookies because of all the soap on her hands
Super Troopers not getting a mention is a wild omission. All-time cold open. Since the transition to video podcasts Dobbins has turned her performative dial to 11, and it's a slog to fast forward through 25% ramble. When you need to fill airtime pass the ball to CR for the jokes. It's like holding the basketball until a shot clock violation, when you have Steph Curry who can drain 3's from any spot on the court.
Idea for Hollywood and movie theaters: 🎭 🍿 🎥 I wonder if you could have screenings at theaters lasting for 90 minutes or 120 minutes of small short stories from a variety of young filmmakers , maybe 10-15 minutes each . You could have self funded or studio funded short films that have a life at the theater. After you leave the theater you would have had a sampling of so many new visions and ideas from upcoming filmmakers. You could rate and review the films. Talk about it with your friends online and maybe it could come around for awards season. Marketing this may be a social media challenge all to itself but If the filmmakers and studios become popular amongst the youth we may see a rise in theater outings. Working title: “Mystery Box Screening”
I don't think I'd be alone in the desire for another Reign Of Fire movie. Fury Road meets Game Of Thrones ish dragon epic. Lots of mud, blood, grease, charred flesh & smoke . . . Maybe even black and white photography or the sepia tone similar to Lars Von Trier's The Element of Crime.
Young me really enjoyed Swimfan so hearing 40 seconds about Erika Christensen on this podcast unlocked something I had buried in my mind for decades. She’s fantastic.
been waiting for the 2002 draft! im sure they'll address this - just started listening - but this year has some of the highest highs and lowest lows of any potential draft year.
I could not be a bigger Amanda fan but she definitely seemed a little distracted by gummy bears and slightly unprepared for this one. Someone give that woman a full night's sleep. Keep drafting movies close to your heart, girl. ("You have a baby...in a bar!")
Sean deserves some kind of award for having the patience to deal with Amanda. From not being prepared or caring, to the 10 minute Sweet Home Alabama derailment. You can tell he's annoyed. Get someone in there who watches films and actually cares.
I rewatched Gangs of New York recently and I think it was ahead of its time. Adaptation is a deeply underrated film. Minority Report isn't Spielberg's greatest film, but it is his last great film.
Man, War if the Worlds is a crazy banger and West Side Story is probably the best western musical in like 30 years. I think he's pretty much back on top now.
Been listening to The Big Pic for a long time and honestly can’t stand Dobbins at this point. Someone should tell her liking Europe is not a personality.
Per box office tracking... it pretty much gets it right most of the time. It misses by a lot here and there but it gets it right a whole lot more. Not understanding why you guys bag on it. Otherwise great discussion as always-
Amanda completely ruined this episode, she had no interest in participating at all. Their draft episodes are their best ones, but this one was almost unwatchable
haven't watched yet, but does it feature Amanda being really upset over someone else's pick while also fist pumping disappointing someone else with her pick?
“What color is the blue gummy bear?” - Amanda Dobbins
"You just want to go to Europe and drink"
We're in for a banger episode.
Sean is morphing into Bill
noooooooooooooooooooooo
He just is!
The optics on ringer fantasy drafts are just TOO GOOD
Nah, he's an actual film buff...
@@dereklawson1318 Sean knows very little
1:35:24 - Sean saying the line "I don't like sand" and not mentioning Attack of the Clones in the entire 2002 movie draft is crazy.
real missed opportunity to not continue with "it's coarse and rough and...gets everywhere"
I don't think I've even seen that movie and even I was sitting and home, on cue, saying "it gets everywhere". The segue king is slipping
One of the most unhinged draft episodes, and that is saying something. Loved every minute of it.
So much chaos throughout the entire episode. Loved it!
Amanda pulling a Jamarcus Russell "Yeah I watched the game tape" on this one
Somehow Van Lathan ended up winning this one
Adios Sean and make van the host of the big picture and then it will be a good show
@@GonzoGolfthe Chris Ryan heads gonna come at you for attacking his bff
Did Amanda take an edible before the pod or what? Lol
crazy that this is my film school

Not taking Spiderman or Signs is CRAZY

I suggest you do a Misunderstood Draft across the regular categories. Would be great
Deep cut by Chris with "State Property"
I’ve watched this so many times because I love Amanda going off and all of the gummy bears sidebars! 😂😂😂
Once again, Amanda is trying so hard to not get invited back.
I gotta go with Sean for the win💯

State Property love!!! You all are the best
1:36:57 'Don't get fired, brother.'
Rules of Attraction YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I'm a proud member of the Dob mob, so I ask cautiously, but was Amanda on drugs in this episode?
weed gummies right?
Would be shocked and disappointed if she wasn't.
I love how they all complained about it being an awful movie year and they end up drafting great movies

Signs is a terrific film, vastly underrated
Actually it's pretty dumb and thinks it's deep. If anything it's overrated.
The Pianist is incredible whatever you think about Polanski
The Caravaggio of cinema.

Keep drafting movies close to your heart, girl. ("You have a baby...in a bar!")
(that is a line from Sweet Home Alabama. Did not see Amanda with Knox in a bar.)
Is the lighting harsh for anyone else?
Yes, but I think it's necessary for us to properly see the Gummi bears
Lightning sand art is definitely a thing
This is why I'm part of the Dob mob. I ride for Amanda
The truest litmus test of the Ringerverse
How embarrassing to admit this

Yeah, I'm afraid Amanda is not nearly as goofily amusing as she thinks she is.
What a podcast to have Sean and Andy Greenwald.
Could you point to a moment when Sean is annoyed?
I think you're projecting, I would bet he loves the contrast with their personalities, its not that deep
This is the gummy bear draft, I don’t care what they say.
I am trying to over-interpret the different drink container choices.
Did I miss any City of God references?
Was having these same feelings, like that seems a crazy miss

Is it weird I really enjoy watching idle Amanda typing and fidgeting and stuff? She makes really funny faces with her reactions. That's my 2 cents.
2002 movie draft: we're talking Inside Out 2 and Breakfast Club. WTF is this?
Freeway > Beanie Sigel
Guys, I love the pod but for Gods sake enough with a HALF AN HOUR intro of “so who were you in 2002?” That could be done in 5-7 minutes TOPS
Or the 20 minute break downs and side bits in between picks
