In a jam-packed penultimate episode, the gang grades all films from the fourth quarter of 2023 and reviews three brand new ones:
• THE BOYS IN THE BOAT [00:10:51] - George Clooney strikes again with a rather detail-oriented period piece that somehow makes one nostalgic for a time they (nor the director) ever lived. Hear why it worked.
• THE COLOR PURPLE [00:22:03] - okay, so to try to get it straight, it's a reboot (kinda) based on the Broadway musical that was based on the book that the original movie based itself on. Maybe. Either way, it's a wieldy task for a multitude of reasons. Find out if it was successful in its attempt.
• FERRARI [00:40:05] - Kylo Ren put on a fake neck and a fake accent to try to tell the story of... well, the gang tries to parse that out while discussing the latest offering from Michael Mann.
• 2023 Q4 FILMS TIER LIST [01:05:22] - for the fourth time this year, the gang sits down with all theatrical releases from the previous three months and assigns individual grades. Find out if your favorites comport with the Movie Masters.
