5 stars but enough

There was a recent episode where Clay tried to move people along as if he isn’t the reason for the every episode’s bloat.

Stop giving Adam B Vary 45 uninterrupted minutes to talk about a movie. Enough.

Great format, serves little purpose

The format of the serpentine-style drafting “game” is excellent. I love rules and there are plenty of them here. I’ve listened to some good episodes (Pixar, Best Actress films, Spielberg, etc.) and don’t mind the length. Ultimately, this podcast exists to affirm or challenge ones own opinions on films because the final list doesn’t really matter (Billy Wilder, Audrey Hepburn). The format of this game is excellent and should be lauded—what a great premise. Clay is the stronger commissioner because he has seen more films. Ryan has never seen anything but will promise to consider watching them maybe sure okay; his form of commentary is also just saying semi-big words that, together, mean absolutely nothing. Some GMs are charming (Drea Clark, Chris Feil, Wesley Morris, etc.) and some—most—are really obnoxious. I’ve decided to unsubscribe after the 2023 Mega Draft because the tension between GMs who take the draft seriously and the ones who don’t really highlighted how pointless the lists actually are. Also, I’m not too keen on how often the drafters skew white, male, and film bro. Basically, I’ve had enough.

Beware of Billy Ray

If he’s listed in the show notes as a GM, save yourself 3 hours and just skip to the end— you’re guaranteed to find a list that makes absolutely no sense.
