It's been a while, but here's our first Not 100 Project podcast in 4 months. Brokeback Mountain's quiet heartbreak still resonates, especially as embodied by Heath Ledger. Jake Gyllenhaal is awfully good too. We tackle many angles in this one, including the ongoing debate about Crash v Brokeback at the Oscars. Buy some Sparkplug.Coffee and saddle up Not100P #11!

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!
