We'll be talking about the losers from the matchups in this episode.The nominees were: Call Me By Your Name; Darkest Hour; Dunkirk; Get Out; Lady Bird; Phantom Thread; The Post; The Shape of Water; and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, MissouriThe films we added were: Coco; The Florida Project; and I, TonyaNotes: SPOILERS - we talk through the full plots of all the movies we cover.Timestamps are approximate:5:30 - Round 1 Match-Ups and Deciding Winners and LosersLosers Discussion11:25 - Darkest Hour22:00 - The Post33:50 - Coco40:00 - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (*55:20: Inspired by Sandy Martin's presence in this movie (Mac's Mom!) we fancast a remake of this movie with the characters from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia)59:05 - Call Me By Your Name1:06:15 - The Shape of Water1:19:25 - Best of the Worst & Worst of the Worst1:20:20 - Next Time--------------------------Want to know what episode we're currently prepping and suggest non-nominees that we should watch?
