25: Movies That Shaped Us

Monday Apr 16, 2018
For our twenty-fifth episode, we decided to each pick 25 movies that we've had meaningful experiences with, in one way or another. These are not favorites, specifically, and we think you'll be surprised by some of the choices as a result.
As you might expect, discussing fifty movies, even briefly, takes time. Clocking in at three hours and five minutes, this is our longest episode yet!
Let us know what you think on Twitter: @settingtheframe for CJ, and @juniorbeho for Cesar.

The number three box office hit of 1939, Howard Hawks' ONLY ANGELS HAVE WINGS, is the focus of episode 23. This comedy-drama about pilots flying mail through treacherous conditions over the Andes Mountains, while navigating the effects of such a dangerous lifestyle, was a great first-time watch for both CJ and Cesar.
