Gregg Sandheinrich is joined by Greg Dolan to celebrate Gregg’s insane accomplishment (???) of watching 400 films in 2021 (and did it 2 months early). They start-off talking about the origins of the “quest” and ‘why 400 films?’ (3:38), how movies were found and selected (11:03), a deep dive into the various Letterboxd ‘Stats’ like ‘total hours watched’ and ‘new releases’ vs ‘classics’ & more (20:28), what Gregg learned from all this (29:07). Then they hand out “The Sandy” awards to the various highlights of the quest including ‘best streaming platform’ (39:00). Lastly, Gregg reveals the movies he hand-picked for films #399 and #400 and why they are STILL awesome (01:14:46).
