Greatest Movie Of All-Time

Dana and Tom with guest, Myke Emal (Host and Creator of the Cinemusts podcast), discuss Monsters, Inc. (2001) for its 25th anniversary: directed by Pete Docter, written by Andrew Stanton and Daniel Gerson, music by Randy Newman, editing by Robert Grahamjones and Jim Stewart, starring John Goodman, Billy Crystal, Steve Buscemi, and James Coburn.

Plot Summary: In Monsters, Inc., monsters power their world using children's screams. The top scarer, Sulley (John Goodman) and his best friend Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) accidentally let a little girl named Boo into their world. As they hide her, they uncover a sinister plot by the scheming Randall (Steve Buscemi) and their boss, Mr. Waternoose (James Coburn). In the end, they discover that laughter is far more powerful than screams.

Dana and Tom with 5x Club Member and CLP Contributor, Peterson W. Hill (Co-Host of the War Starts at Midnight podcast), discuss The Departed (2006) for its 20th anniversary: directed by Martin Scorsese, written by William Monahan, cinematography by Michael Ballhaus, music by Howard Shore, editing by Thelma Schoonmaker, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Alec Baldwin, Mark Wahlberg, and Martin Sheen.

Plot Summary: In The Departed, the story gives us a thrilling, double-blind paradox: Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) is an undercover state trooper trying to take down Irish mob boss Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson) from the inside. Meanwhile, Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) is a golden-boy state trooper who is secretly a mole reporting back to Costello. When both sides realize they have a rat in their house, a paranoid race begins as both moles must uncover the other's identity before they are exposed and killed. It’s a cat-and-mouse game where both men are playing both roles.

Dana and Tom with 5x Club Member, Sara Shea (Host and Creator of Shea Cinema; Co-Host of First Watch/Rewatch; CLP Contributor), discuss A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) for its 75th anniversary: directed by Elia Kazan, written by Tennessee Williams and Oscar Saul, cinematography by Harry Stradling, music by Alex North, editing by David Weisbart, starring Marlon Brando, Vivien Leigh, Kim Hunter, and Karl Malden.

Plot Summary: Blanche DuBois (Vivien Leigh) arrives in New Orleans; fragile and haunted by her past. She moves in with her sister, Stella Kowalski (Kim Hunter), whose husband—the raw, brooding Stanley Kowalski (Marlon Brando)—immediately clashes with her. Stanley sees through Blanche's genteel act, while his friend, Mitch (Karl Malden), is drawn to her fading charm. As Stanley digs up Blanche's secrets, tension boils over into cruelty. With Blanche's grip on reality shattered, she is dependent forever "on the kindness of strangers."

Plot Summary: Arrival follows linguist Louise Banks (Amy Adams) who is recruited by the military when mysterious alien ships appear at twelve sites worldwide.

Dana and Tom with returning guest, Klarissa B. (Host and Creator - I've Seen That One), discuss La La Land (2016) celebrating its 10th anniversary: written and directed by Damien Chazelle, cinematography by Linus Sandgren, music by Justin Hurwitz, editing by Tom Cross, starring Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, and John Legend.

Plot Summary: La La Land follows Mia Dolan (Emma Stone), an aspiring actress juggling auditions and a coffee-shop job, and Sebastian (Ryan Gosling), a jazz pianist dreaming of opening his own club. They meet in Los Angeles, fall in love, and push each other toward their ambitions. But, as their careers take off, the couple faces a painful choice between staying together and pursuing their individual dreams. Told through vibrant musical numbers and a bittersweet, time-jumping finale, the film is both a love letter to old Hollywood musicals and a wistful meditation on sacrifice, timing, and what it costs to make it.
