S3 - E01 - Movie Madness Tournament!

Happy New Year and welcome to season 3!

This season is going back to movies, in the same alphabetical approach as you love/tolerate. But before we begin the adventure in earnest once more, we have some old business to take care of, namely, determining the "File Under" Best Film of all the flicks that we talked about in season 1/early season 2.

Yep, just like we did with music, this special episode is the File Under: Entertainment Movie Madness Tournament, pitting the 73 films discussed to determine the best of the best.

Joining Eric in this journey are:

Super Producer/Co-host Jared, from the show ⁠⁠'⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nobody's Listening⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠', where he's joined by our friends over at Lets's Play Deathray. You can also find Jared's YouTube channel at ⁠⁠Riley's Parrot⁠⁠.

Mark, from ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Evil Mark Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, the fastest growing sports show taking the world by storm, which you can hear each Thursday (with ME!), and each Friday, for the NFL show, with Jared. Find out more information at www.evilmark.com and check out the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ feed.

Jake & David from ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠'⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Real Piece Of Sitcom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠' which is a great new show discussing every sitcom ever, in thematic order.....or at least the good ones that they get around to. They're also part of the incredible Twitch channel, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Lets Play Deathray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, where they variety stream all sorts of awesome content, every night except Friday and Saturday's at 7:30 PM MST.

Jake is also a published author! He wrote a segment in Bi-Visibility, which you can order ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

AND Eric's wife Megan joins to help us with our voting and upstage Eric with the laughs.

I get into the details pretty quick into the episode, but for those who like to read the show notes and know exactly what's in store before pushing play, here's the rundown (what the hell's a rundown? inside joke for Mark):

In season 2 we had a March Madness style tournament, pitting the 56 artists that we’ve covered against each other to determine who was the best of the best.

Based on the popularity of that episode, our listeners recommended that we do the same with the movies which had been discussed in season 1.

With a 73 team single elimination tournament, there are no regions and multiple 1’s, 2’s, etc. It is seeded 1 – 73, with the top 9 seeds matching up against winners of the "play-in" games, which pit seeds #56 thru #73 against each other.

After our introductions we get right into the matchups and just like REAL Tourney-Time, there are a lot of upsets and unexpected twists.

No spoilers directly from me, I encourage everyone to listen to the drama play out in real time. There are definitely a lot of surprises and laughs a plenty.

If you are inspired by this episode to go back to listen to season 1 episodes or seek out the films to watch to form an opinion of your own, please do so!

Our "A" movie episode will drop on January 30th, so you've got some time to catch up on the old business before getting into the new business!

Til next time......keep filing.........(?)
