200 episodes! Ian and Dan celebrate with a big cast of guests yo explore movie moments from the NYT Top 100 movies of the century so far list. Come and join the party! Everything Everywhere All At…
Okay, so the top 100 movies of the 21st century.
First off, do anybody have any thoughts of this list in general? Because I think they put it together with a whole slew of directors and critics and actors and stuff.
500, I think, about maybe even more.
What do you guys think about these lists if you looked into it? It's fine.
Michael, I know you did.
It's fine.
I
don't know.
This is kind of like a cottage industry of kind of clickbaity lists that publications put out every month or so to get people arguing on the internet.
And this is one of them.
But as these things go, nothing too objectionable in it.
That's a reasonable summary.
It's interesting that this one, as you point out, this isn't actually that novel, but for some reason this one generated a lot more discussion, it feels like, than these tend to.

I don't know what that... what that means,
but...
Probably got something to do with the recency of it, right? That so much of this is just not...
been canonized you know it's a good
point
that you know it there's i don't know if anybody else feels that way whenever you know some new thing some new band or some new movie comes out and it's like this is the greatest thing ever and i'm like it's only been around for like two months how can we we haven't put that through the science you know it there's there's a thing with that so i think i think in a way that was maybe part of the debate but i still thought it was It was enjoyable.
I liked what I saw.
I'm glad I saw some stuff on there.
And to your point about the recency bias, it is interesting seeing something like Zone of Interest just outside the top 10, which is...
I love that movie, but it's very, very recent to be making that bold a declaration of... its place in the century so especially when you're comparing
