Chapter 1: What is the state of movies and culture in 2010?
I'm Sean Fennessey. I'm Amanda Dobbin. And this is the Big Picture and Conversation show about 2010 again. That's right. It's our first ever redraft. So CR is here. He's always here drafting. We've done this draft before. We have done this draft. Just us? Just the three of us.
It was the first one.
It was the first ever draft, which was conceived, created, and executed amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. And the three of us did a very good job. That's a very weird podcast when you go back and listen because we're like, oh, hey, good choice.
Nice job.
We did a terrific job by you. I thought the drafts were where our sense of hostility... No, that was Deacon's Hall of Fame.
Oh, okay. But then we were banished to our separate screens for the COVID-19 pandemic.
That's right.
And we were kind to each other for like three to four months. And then you drafted Iron Man 3 and the gloves came off.
That's true. Um... Every June, we bring together a sacred quartet of contributors to the draft. This is the third consecutive June. I'm really happy Van Lathan is here. Mallory Rubin is here. Joanna Robinson is here.

Chapter 2: What was the significance of the first ever movie draft?
Rob Mahoney is here. For the most elite podcasters. that work at the ringer in the office today. And 2010, you guys were not a part of 2010. Rob, why don't we start with you? Young buck that you are. 2010, what was going on? What was cooking for you?
Who were you? I was in college. I was playing a lot of basketball. I was blogging a lot of basketball. And I was going to see a lot of these movies at an Austin-based movie theater chain that we no longer talk about. Because we were horns up.
I mean, we're always horns up. Okay, so you were an Alamo attendee on the reg.
Back when that used to be an okay thing. Back when that was something I was proud of. You were basket blogging in college? Oh, yeah. That's how you do it. On your parents' dime while they're paying for school. Parlay it into a blogging job post-graduation. Was that Mavs and stuff? Like general NBA back then, yeah. It was kind of all over the place. I was a junior in college with league pass.
That was a normal thing to do.
How much did it cost then?
Honestly, a reasonable amount. I think it was like $70, $80.
Yeah, that's good. That's very affordable. Joanna, 2010, what was cooking with you?
I was living in San Francisco. Looking at the list of movies that we have here today, I think I was deep in my arthouse cinema only phase.

Chapter 3: How did the hosts and guests experience movie-going in 2010?
Three level score. Okay. Like, three level score. But, like, legitimately, we were hooping all day long.
Against first graders, second graders, and third graders?
Against whoever wanted it. 75 and up. 75 and up. Retirees. I was busting anybody's ass that was out there. And then the next year was the year my career was essentially started. I go to TMZ the next year. But at that point, unemployed, seeing all of these movies. It's like a prequel. At the Arclight.
Yeah.
This is the year, 2009, 2010, is the year that I fall in love with the Arclight. Because I start going to a lot of movies at the Arclight.
Walking this night. Six years gone, we are from the Arclight. Sad. Really painful.
Inexplicable.
And you guys just never got to be a part of that culture.
I saw some things at the Cinerama Dome in my time.

Chapter 4: What insights do the hosts share about the state of movies in 2010?
All right. I'm glad you guys found union. He did. He just shanked you in the chest, okay?
No, I was saying I should have known because he loves I'll Try Anything Once.
She really likes it because if we had done it, it would have just been fucking.
I mean, you guys are kind of, you guys are a little cold on somewhere, which is, like last time. It's not my favorite. I know you're just like, I've seen an Antonioni phone before, which like, okay, congratulations. So I appreciate.
Chapter 5: How do the hosts approach the Mega-Movie Re-Draft?
You didn't know each other back then. How do you know? I appreciate that Rob sees her work.
Plus, I am a man of a certain age wandering around L.A. It looks like the Shannon twins got the BBLs taken out.
Well, I was going to paint that picture, but luckily I have I didn't realize this.
Guys, cross talk? I apologize. Complicated. I'm sorry.
Chapter 6: What are the standout films discussed in the draft recap?
I'm sorry. We were getting an update on the BBLs. Have they been dissolved?
It looks like they got the BBLs taken out to Shannon's place.
I see. I told you. That's happening. He's on their Instagram right now.
That's what they're doing.
In certain parts of the culture.
Yeah, right.
There's a camera literally over your shoulder right now, so be careful with what you're pulling out.
Oh, you cannot dissolve a BBL. They should do that on the... It's a removal? It's an extraction situation. Okay. Because what is... Well, it depends on what kind of BBL, though. Well, yeah.
You get the fat transferred and, like, you know, that's, like, kind of not... Sure. Then there's implants, but, like, the Shannon twins look like they... They got the implants removed?

Chapter 7: What notable films are highlighted in the 2010 draft?
Very, very good movie. John Hawks is unreal in that movie.
He is. Winter's Bone was kind of a deal. It became a deal.
Yeah. It's a great film. Right there at the end. It was a big announcement. I mean, she had only really done the, what was the sitcom she was on? The Southern comedian who's, she played the daughter. The Bill Ingvall show. Bill Ingvall, thank you.
Then she pulls out the red dress and that was it.
Yeah.

Chapter 8: How do the hosts reflect on the impact of the films discussed?
And then she's not. She's not.
Okay, I've got franchise film, foreign language animated, and wild card left to go.
Okay.
I'm going to take in foreign language animated. There's so many good ones here.
Yeah, there really are.
I'll take Bong Joon-ho's mother.
God damn it. Good one. I mean, that was never going to come back to me.
Which is a great thriller about what a mother will do for her son. And like a movie that I did not think was very funny the first time I saw it because I didn't know as much about Bong's films when I first saw it. And now having seen his entire body work, I think it's very, very funny. It was an incredible moment of exaltation at the end of this movie on a bus ride.
It was like one of the best things you'll ever see. And this is a great one. So, yeah. Really good book.
