The 100 Film Redemption

Better late than never, right? At long last here is the final episode of the show. We analyze the movie list with some fun categories, such as our favorites, movies we didn't click with, and a few others. Way back in Episode 001, we each talked about our favorite movies at the time. Since so much time has passed, we decided to make new favorites lists and see what has changed, and if our little podcast had any impact.  Lastly, we get mushy and reflect on the show, our friendship, and what we've been watching over the last few years.  If you've ever listened to this show, thank you for doing so. I appreciate you spending your time with us, and I hope you had fun along the way.  Watch more movies!  Breaking Down the List - 3:36 Personal Favorites Update - 53:09 Looking Back - 1:25:55 Produced by Andrew Padula

We have officially reached the final film on our list! This was chosen as our finale because, as you probably already know, people absolutely LOVE The Shawshank Redemption. More than any other movie on this list, Shawshank always elicited the strongest reaction when people found out I'd never seen it. At long last, those days are now behind me.

Our penultimate film, as well as our penultimate Stephen King adaptation, The Green Mile has a lot riding on it as one of our anchor films in this final stretch. It's the origin of the "magical negro" plot device, with a star-studded cast, a talented mouse, and a whole lot of nonsense. We also discuss Mare of Easttown, Steel Magnolias, and Inside! Recently Watched - 1:24 The Green Mile - 25:42 Produced by Andrew Padula

This entry on our list is similar to Citizen Kane, in that it's not really a movie that's recommended as often these days, but deserves its spot due to its impact. On the Waterfront is one of the most celebrated American films. It's a movie filled with subtle performances that contains one of the most potent and impassioned rallying cries for workers' rights that still rings true today. We also discuss Mulan (2020), Now Voyager, and more! Recently Watched - 1:16 On the Waterfront - 34:55 Produced by Andrew Padula

The final Scorsese film from our list ends up being one of the most intense across all 100 movies. Raging Bull depicts a frighteningly familiar monster in DeNiro's portrayal of Jake LaMotta, and shows how destructive unchecked male ego can be. We also discuss Black Book, Bacurau, Age of Innocence, and more! Recently Watched - 1:23 Raging Bull - 50:00 Minor Spoilers for the Irishman - 1:32:50 Produced by Andrew Padula

The penultimate Scorsese film on our list, Casino stands as yet another crowning achievement from one of America's best directors. Casino has it all: style, violence, and the coolest suits you have ever seen. We also discuss the Mortal Kombat movie, Shadow & Bone, Wild at Heart, and more!

The Karate Kid has long been one of the best student-mentor films. Beloved by millions of all ages, it's been a staple of 80s cinema for nearly 40 years. We also discuss Curse of the Golden Flower, Godzilla vs Kong, and more! Recently Watched - 1:29 Godzilla KOTM Spoiler - 39:25 The Karate Kid - 42:16 The Karate Kid Part 2 - 1:04:38 The Karate Kid Part 3 - 1:07:52 The Next Karate Kid - 1:10:09 Produced by Andrew Padula

We discuss yet another Stephen King adaptation, as well Zack Snyder's Justice League, Lost season 1, and more! Recently Watched - 1:33 Stand by Me - 55:10 Produced by Andrew Padula

Caddyshack is a weird movie. Half a coming-of-age story, half sketch comedy, plus there's a dancing gopher; none of it should work, but it does. It shows its age every now and again, but against all odds, Caddyshack's screwball comedy gets it across the finish line. We also discuss Judas and the Black Messiah, the South Park Vaccination Special, and more! Recently Watched - 1:20 Judas and the Black Messiah - 30:39 South Park Vaccination Special - 41:19 Caddyshack - 47:25 Happy Gilmore - 1:20:56 Produced by Andrew Padula
