Ins and Outs Braden Shaw

Making lists and reflecting on the past is the cool thing to do this time of year (and at the end of a decade), so we thought we'd take a crack at it. Listen to Braden and Graham discuss the amazing year of film that was 2019 and share each of their top 10 films of 2019. 

(Recorded on 9/2/19)

Finally, it's the grand finale of our AFI Top 100 series. Listen to Braden and Graham discuss the final 10 films, such as the pop culture classic "The Wizard of Oz," the very questionable "Gone With the Wind," an overrated Hitchcock film and maybe Humphrey Bogart's most iconic role and more. Braden also has a few takes on "Lawrence of Arabia" that may make him lose all credibility. Oh well.

Here are this week's films:

10. THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939)

9. VERTIGO (1958)

8. SCHINDLER'S LIST (1993)

Football is back, so the time for speculation to meet realization is nearly here. 

For this sports edition of Ins and Outs, Braden, Graham and Dru discuss the potential contenders in the NFL this season, if the Chiefs can actually make a Super Bowl run, the ridiculous Raiders, the inevitable Tom Brady, how stacked the NFC is, and much more!

(Recorded before Andrew Luck's retirement. Pour one out for the homie).

Some films age extremely well. Even after, say, 80 years. Then there's SOME LIKE IT HOT. 

On this episode, Braden and Graham dive into the next 10 films on the list, from some of the best noirs ever made, an extremely influential western, how a ride at Universal Orlando almost (allegedly) ended Steven Spielberg's relationship with Universal, the magnificence of Jimmy Stewart and Gregory Peck and much more!

(Also be sure to check out the new film that Graham worked on U SHOOT VIDEOS?: https://vimeo.com/354276952?fbclid=IwAR2CndxoGb9zVnT-tsOZ03j0ET25wFvySFNeQPev29ZGRqPEfAGFJmmYOWk)

The hills are alive with the sound of controversy and classic films! 

This week we have 10 important films that all changed the game in one way or another, even if they don't age the best (looking at you Woody Allen and Snow White). But if we've learned anything so far, this entire list could use a fresh and new look.
