The Movie Bucket List (MBL) Podcast
Sports & Recreation Podcasts
Inspired by watching Chris spend hours looking for a movie to watch, Pam bought the book 1001 MOVIES YOU MUST SEE BEFORE YOU DIE (ed. Steven Schneider). From that book, they created their Movie Bucket List. Now their date-night-in is spent watching a movie from that list and bringing their thoughts to you: plot, characters, actors, favorite quotes, historical background, film theory, literary elements, or sometimes just the parts they like best. Most importantly, they discuss whether the movie should be included in the book (and your movie bucket list!) At the end of every episode, they reveal the next movie so that you, too, can finish your own movie bucket list (or at least just watch the movie first since they will discuss spoilers!)

Ferris Bueller's Day Off #33
10/5/2020
Bueller, Bueller, Bueller...We have reached #33 in our quest to watch the movies listed in 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. This week we had the luck of picking Ferris Bueller's Day Off written and directed by John Hughes. Being a couple of Gen Xers, we completely love and totally relate to this movie (and basically all John Hughes movies).
Make sure to listen to the end to find out our next movie. Since we have moved into October, we are going HALLOWEEN THEMED!! Find out what our next movie is at the end of the podcast.

The Player #32
9/21/2020
We continue our quest to watch all 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. This week, we randomly selected our 32nd movie, Robert Altman's The Player (1992). The Player has the distinction of having the most Oscar winners in one film: 12 actors/actresses and 1 producer/director. Does the star power overshadow the plot? Can the acting help the self-important writing? Can Pam figure out why exactly this movie won so many awards? Feel free to tell us what we are missing! Find us on social media @themblpodcast.

Boogie Nights #31
9/7/2020
We are discussing the amazing PTA (Paul Thomas Anderson) and his movie Boogie Nights. While all our episodes are marked explicit, this one is definitely NSFW. Boogie Nights follows porn star, Dirk Diggler, as he navigates through the world of porn and his place in it. This episode is a tad bit longer than usual, but it's hard to fit in all the goodness of a PTA film in one hour! This is number 31 out of 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die.
Duration:01:21:02
Black Panther #30
8/31/2020
Our next movie from 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die is Black Panther. Between us watching the movie and recording this podcast, Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther) passed away after a 4 year battle with colon cancer. We love this movie, so hopefully we can show him some posthumous love to the character that he gave life to. Wakanda Forever!
Duration:01:13:43
The Naked Gun #29
8/17/2020
Our next movie from 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die is The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! This one is a bit different for us since it is a more plot-driven movie rather than the character-driven ones we have been discussing recently; this one is all fun! If you are following along with your own movie Bucket List, we are on number 29. Listen to the end to find out which movie is number 30. Follow us on all social media @themblpodcast

Muriel's Wedding #28
8/13/2020
Chris and Pam discuss the next movie from 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. This week's randomly selected movie is Muriel's Wedding. This 1994 Australian movie might seem frivolous on the surface, but it is a movie very layered in emotions and lessons. Muriel is from the small (fictional) town of Porpoise Spit and must learn some valuable lessons about what it means to value yourself. Spoilers are discussed, so watch the movie first if those things matter to you!

Do The Right Thing #27
7/6/2020
Chris and Pam are watching all the movies in 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. This week is #27 - Do The Right Thing written and produced by Spike Lee. If you have not seen this movie or you haven't seen it in the last 2 years, you must watch it. This is a classic example of Life imitating Art.
Chris and Pam not only discuss the movie this week, but they do discuss the Black Lives Matter movement and some of the injustices that Black Americans face daily. This episode is unapologetically political.

The Cabin in the Woods #26
6/22/2020
We're back!! We had a slight little vacation, but we've got a new episode ready for listening. This week, we will discuss our first "horror" movie, The Cabin in the Woods. We have to admit we were a little perplexed as to why this movie is in 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, but listen to the podcast to find out why we agree with the inclusion of this movie on this list.

The Godfather #25
5/25/2020
We're going to make you an offer you can't refuse! Listen to our podcast or you might wind up with a horse head in your bed. Well, not really. But we would love for you to listen our latest episode on The Godfather (1972) directed by Francis Ford Coppola. We are 25 movies into 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, and make sure to listen to the very end to find out which movie is #26.

Clueless #24
5/11/2020
As if! Whatever! I'm not trying to hear that! So many classic quotes from a classic movie. Nothing is more typical mid-90s as Clueless, written and directed by Amy Heckerling. The fashion, the music, the issues, the technology are all sooo 90s, and the 90s were sooo awesome. Now don't be a full-on Monet, listen to our latest episode even though you are a virgin who can't drive.

Se7en #23
4/27/2020
What's in the box?!?! What's in the *&^# box?!?! We all know what's in the box, but it doesn't make it any less exciting to watch Se7en over and over again. Directed by David Fincher, Se7en (1995) is quite a journey through the Seven Deadly Sins with a super satisfying un-Hollywood ending. No happily ever afters here! The movie still holds up after 25 years. Make sure to subscribe and listen to our review of Se7en!
