15.944 - 29.663 Amanda Dobbins

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.

29.743 - 30.524 Rob Mahoney

It was the first one.

0

30.564 - 44.504 Amanda Dobbins

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.

45.425 - 52.199 Chris Ryan

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.

52.219 - 57.269 Rob Mahoney

Oh, okay. But then we were banished to our separate screens for the COVID-19 pandemic.

57.289 - 57.57 Chris Ryan

That's right.

57.59 - 64.384 Rob Mahoney

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.

64.404 - 79.191 Amanda Dobbins

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?

79.252 - 96.875 Amanda Dobbins

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?

0

96.895 - 108.686 Chris Ryan

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.

0

109.166 - 114.133 Amanda Dobbins

I mean, we're always horns up. Okay, so you were an Alamo attendee on the reg.

0

114.794 - 134.245 Chris Ryan

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.

0

134.305 - 135.988 Chris Ryan

That was a normal thing to do.

136.008 - 137.43 Rob Mahoney

How much did it cost then?

137.748 - 141.226 Chris Ryan

Honestly, a reasonable amount. I think it was like $70, $80.

141.246 - 146.172 Amanda Dobbins

Yeah, that's good. That's very affordable. Joanna, 2010, what was cooking with you?

146.59 - 157.263 Mallory Rubin

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?

200.297 - 208.269

Three level score. Okay. Like, three level score. But, like, legitimately, we were hooping all day long.

0

208.449 - 210.272 Amanda Dobbins

Against first graders, second graders, and third graders?

0

210.392 - 226.873

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.

0

227.354 - 227.914 Mallory Rubin

Yeah.

0

227.934 - 237.242

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.

237.663 - 241.066 Amanda Dobbins

Walking this night. Six years gone, we are from the Arclight. Sad. Really painful.

241.946 - 242.747 Rob Mahoney

Inexplicable.

242.812 - 245.479 Amanda Dobbins

And you guys just never got to be a part of that culture.

245.579 - 248.827 Rob Mahoney

I saw some things at the Cinerama Dome in my time.

3826.813 - 3838.069 Rob Mahoney

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.

3838.089 - 3847.411 Rob Mahoney

3871.538 - 3872.8

In certain parts of the culture.

3872.84 - 3873.682 Rob Mahoney

Yeah, right.

3873.762 - 3877.588 Amanda Dobbins

There's a camera literally over your shoulder right now, so be careful with what you're pulling out.

3877.568 - 3886.771 Rob Mahoney

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.

3886.871 - 3893.488

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?

7225.383 - 7229.728 Amanda Dobbins

Very, very good movie. John Hawks is unreal in that movie.

0

7229.768 - 7232.191

He is. Winter's Bone was kind of a deal. It became a deal.

0

7232.231 - 7243.505 Amanda Dobbins

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.

0

7243.685 - 7245.307

Then she pulls out the red dress and that was it.

0

7245.567 - 7245.867 Mallory Rubin

Yeah.

7246.228 - 7246.728

7248.951 - 7251.334

Yep. Then she's there. Then she's everywhere.

7283.028 - 7284.21 Amanda Dobbins

I'll take Bong Joon-ho's mother.

7284.51 - 7287.173 Van Lathan

God damn it. Good one. I mean, that was never going to come back to me.

7287.654 - 7306.639 Amanda Dobbins

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.

7306.923 - 7314.455 Amanda Dobbins

It was like one of the best things you'll ever see. And this is a great one. So, yeah. Really good book.
