Our good friend, Connor, joins us to discuss #79 on the top AFI 100 list, "The Wild Bunch".  Directed by Sam Peckinpah in 1969, it's a movie about horses and people running away from a railroad executive.

Special guest is "Chema" Hernandez, uncredited head animal trainer for the movie.

Episode #23 - #79 The Wild Bunch (1969)

What do you get when you mix three friends from Chicago (that now reside in LA), the AFI Top 100 movies list, and a microphone?  You get Afternoon Snack Paks!  It's a fun-filled romp through the greatest offerings in cinema.  It'll be filled with cool trivia, fun facts, and a deep exploration of the themes and struggles of all the movies on the Top 100 list.  We're starting from the bottom, folks.  First up?  Ben-Hur!

Technical notes:  There's some weird static at times so don't think it's your device.  We're getting better at this.  Trust us.

How do you pronounce "Caribbean"?  Matt, Heather, and Harrison discuss this and our first sci-fi film... so far on the AFI Top 100 list.   It's skins talking about skin jobs!

(We apologize for the sound quality for this.  But we're getting better.  It'll be great for the next one!  No promises!)

Episode #15 - #87 12 Angry Men (1957)

We went looking for the American Dream and we couldn't find it anywhere.  "Easy Rider" is positioned as the best road trip movie by many.  We take a long trip with this one as we travel with them to the Big Easy and then to parts unknown.  We thank Pat Tamisiea for joinging us on this one!

Episode #18 - #84 Easy Rider (1969)

Heather is back!  Maybe we'll just do episodes when the three of us are all together.  Iceberg ahead?!

We go through the wonder that is Titanic!

Episode #19 - #83 Titanic (1997)

Matt and Harrison delve into the real world effects of Thano's snap aka The Decimation and what would happen if people came back 5 years later.

Avengers Endgame Nugget

Two friends make it their mission to get through AFI's Top 100 movie list... and make it better!  It'll be a long road but we hope you share in our journey.  (It used to be three.)
