Make Your Own Rushmore #6 - Video Media Formats!

[upbeat music] All right.

Well, hey everybody.

Welcome back to Let's Make a List, a podcast where we take a topic, talk about it, give our opinions, and then create a collaborative and definitive list.

As always, I am Josh, and with me is my son, Jack.

This week, we are looking at video media formats, and basically what that means is, how do we watch movies? How do we watch TV shows? That sort of thing.

If it's not being broadcast terrestrially or through cable television or being streamed, how do we watch movies? How do we watch TV shows? There are a number of different formats.

How do we play video games and eat chocolate bars?

[laughs] I can't out with you.

There are a number of formats, and to make it interesting, and also to save some time, we are going to use our Rushmore format.

So today, we're gonna be making our own Rushmore of video media formats.

And to decide this, we watched Rushmore on all of these formats.

That isn't necessarily true, but I would like to watch Rushmore again.

It's been a minute.

I've never seen it.

[laughs] Well, we can fix that.

So our qualifications are gonna be pretty simple.

These films, these films, these formats have to be either digital or analog, and either be something that can be purchased or something that you can hold physically in your hand is probably a better way to put it.

As a reminder, when we do a Rushmore, we have a one through four ranking, and we utilize the presidents that are currently on Mount Rushmore in South Dakota as our primer.

So for example, number one would be George Washington, number two would be Thomas Jefferson, three would be Abraham Lincoln, and number four would be Teddy Roosevelt.

In no way, shape, or form are we trying to say that these presidents on Mount Rushmore should be ranked that way, but that's kinda the way that it looks and the way that it works.

Washington obviously being our first president, Jefferson being the writer and framer of the Declaration of Independence and one of the writers of the Constitution, along with Washington, Abraham Lincoln being the emancipator and basically the destroyer of slavery in the United States, and then Teddy Roosevelt, who was a great man and also started our National Park Service.

So they all have great things, and it's in no way, shape, or form us trying to defame one to elevate the other, but when you're making a Rushmore, you have to use what you've got, and that's what we've got.

Jack, there's, there's really no advantage to going first on one list and nominating for the other list because there's, there's no competition really.

W- this is just us taking our personal Rushmores and then combining them together at the end to create a combined Rushmore.

Combining them to create a combined, that's excellent grammar.

[laughs] But I'll ask anyway.

Would you prefer to nominate for our combined Rushmore first, or would you like to share your Teddy Roosevelt first?

I would personally rather give up my nomination first.

Okay.

Well, we are gonna start with Teddy Roosevelt and work our way to George Washington.
