For this episode, Jason and Espo are joined by Ty Doyle of The Bucket Up Podcast! In addition to discussing the latest movie trailers, they pay tribute to Robin Williams on the 5th anniversary of his death, "draft" movie teams, and question some of Magic Johnson's movie preferences.
Intro: The Critically Important crew are joined by the podcast's first guest host, Ty Doyle of The Bucket Up Podcast (http://hyperurl.co/BucketUp). Unfortunately, Mallory was not able to participate in this episode due to a horrible migraine (which are NEVER fun and are ALWAYS the worst), so Ty filled in in her stead. before launching into their planned segments, they discuss the fifth anniversary of Robin Williams' death, the movie choices of one Magic Johnson (spoiler: he's a Green Book fan), and review the last of their Rotten Tomatoes picks from Episode 1 (another spoiler: Jason didn't do so good).
Great Expectations: With fall and winter movie season fast approaching, it's time for another segment where Jason, Espo and Ty discuss the latest movie trailers and whether they exceeded, met or fell below their expectations. Trailers discussed in-depth include Greta Gerwig's Little Women, the $200 million dollar "dad movie" The Irishman, the Bonnie and Clyde meets Get Out drama Queen + Slim, the perfect casting of Tom Hanks as Mr. Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, and Last Christmas (which we hope Emma Thompson will elevate above the standard Christmas movie fare).
Fantasy Movie Draft: It's also fantasy football time for sports fans, and since Ty runs a few fantasy leagues of his own (one of which, for full transparency, Jason is a part of), we decided to put our own movie spin on fantasy sports with our very own "fantasy movie draft." We each drafted our dream movie team in a snake draft-style format. Essentially, we each drafted our ideal movie cast if we could make a movie today with an unlimited budget. The "positions" we drafted for include one director; two lead actors; three supporting actors; a "flex" spot (someone who can play either a lead or supporting spot); a "comic relief" actor; two cameo appearences; and two "bench" actors (you know, in case the dreaded "contract dispute" rears its ugly head and an actor drops out). Listen to the podcast to see who we picked; then on Monday, we want YOU to vote for who your favorite team is!
