2002 - The Finale, Pt. 3
July 13, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 57.3 MBMovie of the Year: 2002 Finale Part Three It is time to finish picking 2002's Movie of the Year in our 2002 Finale Part Three! We work really hard on each of the seasons of this show. We do it because it means a lot to us and because that is what the movies deserve. The 2002 season was even more work than we usually do—it was intense. Yet, here we are, at the end of it, and it's hard not to be just a little sad. 2002 was a bonkers year and the movies are full of a sense of overwrought pri...

July 06, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 56.5 MBMovie of the Year: 2002 Finale Part Two It is time to continue picking 2002's Movie of the Year in our 2002 Finale Part Two! As we discussed last time, fifteen great movies (and, yes, one stinkeroo) made their way into the sweet sixteen. And now it is time to take that number DOWN. To an even LOWER NUMBER. There are a lot to pick from, so you figure it out. Lookin' at you, eight; feels like you're on deck. Maybe Bourne Identity will do some of his cool spy stuff and make his way to the ...

It seems like just yesterday we started the 2002 season, but as they say: time flies when your castin' pods. This year we embraced just how many movies there are in any given year. Because there are so many, we opened up our brackets (and our hearts) to 16 movies. I know what you are thinking, you must have just opened up the floodgates and invited all the stinkeroo...

June 22, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 107 MBMovie of the Year: 2002 Morvern Callar Is Morvern Callar too obvious a choice to become 2002 Movie of the Year? Stop any yahoo on the street and ask them to bleat out a movie from 2002 and the first one that is going to spring into 90% of their brains is Morvern Callar. MorvernMania was everywhere is 2002, and if you don't remember that, don't let on because it's deeply strange and it might indicate that you are secretly a weirdo. In this episode we really get into what makes the titular...

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is a movie that asks, "What if our enemies are actually so bad that we can do whatever we want to them and even treat it like a little game?" We probe what director Peter Jackson brought to this project that only he could before we delve into the difficulties of telling the second part of a thre...

June 08, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 108 MBMovie of the Year: 2002 25th Hour Can 25th Hour capture the title of our 2002 Movie of the Year? 25th Hour may be a bit of a forgotten gem of 2002, but it is a gem nonetheless. With Rosario Dawson, Edward Norton, Philip Seymore Hoffman, and Barry "That's-Right-It's-Me" Pepper, the movie has star power to burn. And when your motion picture is directed by one Mr. Spike Lee, you are going to get the Taste Buds' attention. We focus on both Lee and Norton in this episode, giving each a segmen...

June 01, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 110 MBMovie of the Year: 2002 Chicago Can Chicago sing, dance, shoot, and prance its way to our 2002 Movie of the Year? This week our movie is 2002's musical sensation, Chicago, a movie that has a little something for everyone. Whether your thing is sexy ladies, violent outbursts, or Richard Gere, Chicago has got you covered. But does it have enough about it that is 2002 enough to take down film's greatest achievement? Oh brother do we get into it, as well as discussing if casting stars was a b...

May 18, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 91.9 MBMovie of the Year: 2002 Adaptation. Does Adaptation. have the flexibility to be our 2002 Movie of the Year? After years of struggling to adapt Susan Orlean’s The Orchid Thief into a movie, Charlie Kaufmann wrote himself and his fictional twin Donald into the movie and made it about his struggles with adapting the book. He only told his friend Spike Jonez his new direction, and was sure he would be done with the industry but didn’t see another way out. The result is Adaptation, a meditatio...

February 02, 2023 12:00 - 45 minutes - 42 MBMovie of the Year: Best of 2022 2022 Mixtape The Tastebudz have assembled to form the 2022 mixtape! 2022 was a wonderful time in music, there is no disputing this. Artists like The Weeknd and Bad Bunny released album after amazing album to a tune-hungry populous. But as much as we need that non-stop firehose of music blasting into our earballs, we're not always sure we have time to listen to an entire album. Maybe not even an entire song if it's going to be over four minutes. Not when we ...
Best of 2022 - Century of the Year 2022
January 26, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 102 MBMovie of the Year: Best of 2022 Century of the Year 2022 The top 100 pop culture moments of 2022 discussed by the world's closest friends: it's Century of the Year 2022! So much happened in the world of pop culture in 2022. To fully digest and understand everything that went down would require several seasons of several different podcasts, working singly, but for the common goal. And certainly 2022 is worth it, but we just don't have that much time on our hands! That's right, it's time fo...
Best of 2022 - Oscar Draft
January 19, 2023 12:00 - 46 minutes - 42.7 MBMovie of the Year: Best of 2022 Oscar Draft Which films will get the most 2022 Oscar nominations? The Oscars. When it comes to little statues handed to movie stars, the absolute top of the table. 2022 had movies galore, and many of them were terrific. But will the academy know which movies to award? Their record on this is spotty at best and disastrous at worst, leading to a feeling that ultimately the Oscars don't even matter anymore. Let us be clear, this is a mostly correct position he...
2002 - Gangs of New York (BONUS)
January 12, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 57.8 MBMovie of the Year: 2002 Gangs of New York (BONUS) The Taste Buds meet at the Five Points to discuss 2002's Gangs of New York and decide whether or not it should have been in contention for Movie of the Year! Gangs of New York is one of those movies that we all think must be good because we feel like we saw it twenty years ago and maybe liked it. But is it good? It has a very weird tone, a pocket-sized New York, and a desire to rewrite history at every pass. In addition, it contains the to...
2002 - GenreBlast
January 05, 2023 12:00 - 21 minutes - 20 MBMovie of the Year: 2002 GenreBlast The Taste Buds meet to discuss 2002 GenreBlast and argue about which genres were best represented in 2002! Genres, they make up the bulk at the movies lefty Hollywood pumps out to us year after year, but we here at Pop Filter have no time for anything that is not a serious, pinky-in-the-air drama. However, we know how upsetting it is to simply dispense with action, romance, family, or comedies--just to name a few--and so we've brought this very special s...
2002 - Lilo & Stitch (Bonus Episode)
December 29, 2022 12:00 - 48 minutes - 44.6 MBMovie of the Year: 2002 Lilo & Stitch (Bonus Episode) The Taste Buds learn the meaning of family by watching Lilo & Stitch! Lilo & Stitch is a beautiful, loving, caring look at what it means to be a family. Not the blood coursing through our veins, but the love that beats within our breast. Plus, it's got one of the all time goofy little guys in the stitular Titch. Excuse me, the titular Stich. That kind of wacky mix up would be right up that adorable alien's odd alley. The Taste Buds ex...
MOTY vs the Sight and Sound Lists
December 22, 2022 12:00 - 51 minutes - 47 MBMovie of the Year The Sight and Sound Greatest Films of All Time The Taste Buds compare their Movie of the Year to the Sight and Sound Greatest Films of All Time The Sight & Sound greatest films of all time list is essentially the canon for movies. Many critics and many directors are tasked with once every five years deciding on the 100 best films. Well, they have submitted their lists, and for us this is basically a report card. So how did we do? When judged exclusively on how much fun w...
2002 - Battle Royale
December 15, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 109 MBMovie of the Year: 2002 Battle Royale The Taste Buds goes to a remote island to kill each other discussing Battle Royale! Before Squid Game, before Ready or Not, before Avengers Arena, before the Purge series, before the Hunger Games, there was Battle Royale. The final film directed by Kinji Fukasaku, with a screenplay written by his son, Kenta Fukasaku, Battle Royale follows a 9th grade class on a field trip gone awry. In the near future, the Japanese government has passed the "BR" act o...
2002 - Insomnia
December 08, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 96.3 MBMovie of the Year: 2002 Insomnia The Taste Buds stay awake for 7 days straight to bring you the authentic Insomnia experience! You know how you get a little slow, a little rough around the edges, a little cranky when you're sleepy? Imagine you're working a murder case in Alaska where the sun only shines, IA is breathing down your neck, and you can't get no shut-eye! That's Al Pacino in Insomnia, baby! The Taste Buds dig into the forgotten-Nolan film, discussing where he was as a director...
2002 - State of the Franchise
December 01, 2022 12:00 - 48 minutes - 44.1 MBMovie of the Year: 2002 State of the Franchise The Taste Buds drill into the biggest movie franchises of 2002! In 2022, everything is a franchise. It's basically mandated, that unless Jordan Peele is directing it, these movies better be part of a longer string of movies--how else will people know they should see it?! Things were a little different in 2002. Movies were either about to kick off their franchises, or sequels coming out to test the theory that moviegoers wanted more of these ...
2002 Bonus Show - Comic Books
November 24, 2022 12:00 - 43 minutes - 39.5 MBMovie of the Year: 2002 Bonus Show Comic Books The Taste Buds take on one of the most important years in comics: 2002! 1939- the world met Superman and Batman. 1941 - Captain America punched Hitler in the face. 1961 - The First Family of Marvel Comics changed the game. 1986- The Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen brought gritty darkness to the comics world. 2002 - Does it belong on this list? Ryan and Mike discuss how impactful 2002 was in the world of comics, and why the moves the B...
2002 - Mix Tape
November 17, 2022 12:00 - 59 minutes - 54.2 MBMovie of the Year: 2002 Mix Tape The Taste Buds create the greatest 2002 mix tape the world has ever known! Mix tapes give a unique picture of the year, but making them can take a lot of thought and care. We did it despite this fact because we are very brave. But how exactly do you go about it? Some would argue that you simply decide which are the best songs of 2002 and just go with those. But while that might make an incredible play list, would it truly make a good 2002 mix tape? This wa...
2002 - Spider-Man
November 09, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 106 MBMovie of the Year: 2002 Spider-Man The Taste Buds dip into some deep comic lore to talk about little-known 2002 property, Spider-Man! Put this one in the category of what was 2002 smoking? Some kid gets bitten by a radioactive spider, and we all know what happens next, right? He gets cancer and dies screaming, I can almost hear you shouting at your computer. (I'm in here, but I can't hear over the fan.) You'd think that because that's how it would go down now, but in 2002 we were still th...

2002 - Talk to Her
October 27, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 103 MBMovie of the Year: 2002 - Talk to Her Does Talk to Her say enough to be 2002's Movie of the Year? 2002 is here, and we are off to the races with Pedro Almodóvar's Talk to Her. This is a movie the defies simple encapsulation, so it will have to suffice for me to say, this thing is kinda messed up. No, that's not good enough. Kinda really messed up, even. Nah, still not there. It is European. OK, there I got it. This movie is European as heck. If you have never seen an Almodóvar movie are...

Oh, how I wish that were the number of movies we got to watch and not just year that will make up this season. But that wouldn't be fair. Not to us. Not to you. And not to the most important part of the entire podcast: the movies. We swore a sacred oath to only have eight movies in a season. Hard decisions make this show what it is: a sourc...
2002 - The Top 64
October 13, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 58.7 MBMovie of the Year: 2002 Introduction The 2002 Movie of the Year Introduction is here; which of these amazing films will take home the most coveted prize in Hollywood? The 2002 season is here, and though we are sad to see the 1982 season end, we have never been more "jazzed" to tackle a year. We got a Spider-Man in this year, a Blade sequel, and a Steven Spielberg adaptation of a Philip K. Dick short story with Minority Report. I know what you're thinking: wow, with all these great motion ...
1982 - Finale Part Two
October 06, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 87.2 MBMovie of the Year: 1982 Finale Part Two 1982's Movie of the Year Finale Part Two is here; which of these amazing films will take home the most coveted prize in Hollywood? Well, here we are at the end of another amazing season. And not just of our show--these movies were pretty good too. Dang, how can we chose just one of these to be 1982's Movie of the Year? Can't we just say they all win and then apologize for being huge cowards? Well, I asked Mike and he said "no," and reminded me I pro...
1982 - The Finale, Part One
September 29, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 90.3 MBMovie of the Year: 1982 Finale Part One 1982's Movie of the Year Finale is here; which of these amazing films will take home the most coveted prize in Hollywood? The good news is that we are drawing to the exciting conclusion of another fantastic season of movie watching. The bad news is the 1982 season is almost over and we will probably never talk about it or think about it again. The blockbusters were never bigger than in 1982, but they had a lot to say as well, a surprising amount of ...
1982 - Gandhi
September 22, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 56.3 MBMovie of the Year: 1982 Gandhi Was Gandhi somehow too successful to make it into the bracket for 1982's Movie of the Year? Gandhi was a great man, but we weren't really interested in this movie because it won so many Oscars. That makes sense, I promise. We almost got to the end of the year before we even considered the movie because we feared it would fall into the category of Green Books and Crashes, which are cynical grabs for award wins, while being essentially inoffensive nothings. Sm...
1982 - Victor/Victoria
September 15, 2022 12:00 - 56 minutes - 51.9 MBMovie of the Year: 1982 Victor/Victoria Is Victor/Victoria dragging us for it leaving off of the bracket for 1982's Movie of the Year? Starring Julie Andrews playing a woman pretending to be a man who is performing as a woman, and made in the early 1980's, you might think Victor/Victoria runs the risk of being a little old-fashioned. And you'd be right! But in all the best ways. It is non-stop entertainment, doesn't feel self-important, and celebrates the real heroes: the entertainers the...
1982 - The Verdict
September 08, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 60.9 MBMovie of the Year: 1982 The Verdict Is The Verdict judging us for leaving off of the bracket for 1982's Movie of the Year? The Verdict is like the New Yorker of movies. It is made for adults, by adults. And it doesn't try to be everything to everyone by bringing in broad humor or action bombast. This movie is for putting on your smoking jacket, grabbing that smoking pipe, and puffing on that smoking tobacco like an adult. Heck, there aren't even kids in this movie. But it is also about t...
1982 - Tootsie
September 01, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 98.6 MBMovie of the Year: 1982 Tootsie Is Tootsie too cringey to be 1982's Movie of the Year? Tootsie has every reason to be one of the most uncomfortable movies we have covered. It's about crossdressing and gender and it is forty years old. However, the movie manages to handle sensitive subject matter with a lot of grace considering it is the same age most people are when they decide, "I'm going to give hate a try." Is it perfect in its depiction of gender? No, but we've all seen movies which c...
1982 - The Thing
August 25, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 90.4 MBMovie of the Year: 1982 The Thing Will The Thing prove itself evolved enough to be 1982's Movie of the Year? The Thing makes us confront the fact that if we had the ability to look like, or be like, anybody it would only be a matter of time before we would choose to become Wilford Brimley.

Well, good news because we are on the case to find out. Or...
