Description

The 40th Top 100 Project podcast has so much to offer, highlighted by all the Method acting and Marlon Brando’s screams of “Stella!” The flick is sexy, it’s violent, it’s controversial and it’s very complicated. It’s also one of AFI’s more memorable pictures. Stranger, activate your kindness!

Ryan and Bev Ellis are partners in film nerdery who share their often humorous musings on the AFI's 1998 & 2007 lists of the greatest 100 American films ever made. But we finished with that in December 2015, so now we just review anything we feel like!
