The Longlist
Here at The Longlist, we celebrate movies and other pop culture through the storied art of rankings. There are no wrong answers. There are no bad opinions. And hot takes are always encouraged. We love movies and we love talking about them even more. Throughout each episode we’ll dissect a given topic, be it a director, actor, genre, studio, or even just a single movie that we really want to deep dive. And the way we really break down each topic is through a series of rankings, usually in the form of a ”top five,” ranging from serious film criticism to whimsical anecdotes. And finally at the end of each episode, we have our main top five list, which we have deemed the short list. Come for the short list and stay for the long list. Nothing we say will ever be the end all be all. On the contrary, we hope it will encourage similar conversations with you and your friends. We have a lot of fun and we hope you will too.

Hey everyone and welcome to The Longlist. This is our inaugural episode and our goal this first one is for you to get to know your hosts, brothers Josh and Jack, a little bit more. We give some take on the Oscars (at the time of recording) and have some more personally oriented top fives for you leading up to our rankings of the films in our respective birth years, 1985 and 1991. But we still cover a wide range of movies and we hope you have fun with it. Enjoy!
