While our hosts haven't shared their individual short-lists of movies to pick from, Sneakers was surely on both of them. Rafe and Drew talk about this iconic 1992 heist film, complete with an excellent plot and a star-studded cast. Listen as Rafe dislikes baseball movies, Drew torments himself with his draft selection, and the duo rave about one of their favorite movies, which holds up incredibly well despite being over thirty years old.

It's Inter-MISSION time! Drew and Rafe are back to look at Fast Five and things they might have missed the first time around (which isn't much).

Next up in our Heist season is the fast cars and physics-free Fast Five, which marks the first time one of our movie selections may have actually broken one of our heists. Listen as Rafe and Drew discuss what makes a good "stupid" movie, ramble about the movie's flaws, and come up with a gamification that sounds really similar to something we've done in the past. We hope you laugh a lot at this one, because we certainly did! Please let us know what you think about our new season!

We started our season at the apex of the Heist movie genre, so now we're trying something a little less traditional: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. We talk about the benefits of less-traditional heist films like this one, discuss the toxic fanbase surrounding the franchise, and explore the benefits of building a game that will absolutely end in a total party kill. Don't lose hope though, because hope is the one thing we all have working in our advantage! Please let us know what you think about our new season!

Rafe and Drew are still overdue on our next episode (it's coming! we promise!) but we wanted to get something on the feed for those of you waiting. Rafe does an annual Oscars prediction episode on his other podcast, so we're sharing it here as well. WARNING: This episode does contain a small amount of explicit language. It's not much, but it's different from how we normally run things, so we wanted to make sure that was clear. Rafe brings together a panel of movie experts to discuss this year's Oscar nominees and make their predictions. Join Rafe along with Thomas Mariani, Emily Slade, and Mel Gore as they discuss and debate the big awards showdown between Oppenheimer, Barbie, and a really strong list of nominees, ultimately making their predictions about who will be taking home an Oscar at this coming weekend's festivities. This year's panel of experts is made up of: Thomas Mariani of the Cinema to the Letter Podcast Emily Slade of the Why This Film? podcast Mel Gore of the Tangent 1985 YouTube channel Please let us know what you think about our new season!

With all that's been going on thanks to the holiday season, real life, and more, we are overdue with our regularly scheduled episode, but Drew and Rafe sat down to record a special holiday special that we're calling "Never Say Die: Welcome to the Party" (because Die Hard is a Christmas movie). We talk about some of our favorite holiday movies as well as some of our favorite movies and gaming experiences of 2023. We hope you have a happy holiday season and we'll be back soon with our Ocean's Eleven Inter-MISSION episode and more of the heist season! Please let us know what you think about our new season!

We're getting the band back together and kicking off our Heist season with 2001's Ocean's Eleven, one of the best contemporary heist movies we could find. We gush over Danny and Rusty's chemistry and the way the movie allows each of its specialists to shine before we steal songs from the soundtrack, draft the beginning of our heist crew, and talk about gamifying flashbacks and ticking clocks. It may look like we're stumbling our way through this, but you'll learn by the end that it was all part of our plan! Please let us know what you think about our new season!

We're back! Drew and Rafe sit down and outline expectations for our second season of Never Say Die! as we dive into the Heist film genre. What makes a heist film? What specifically makes up our definition of a heist film? What segments from the show are returning? What's being cut? And why won't this be the only time you hear us talk about Hudson Hawk? All of your questions will be addressed within! Okay, maybe not all of your questions. But some of them. Have an opinion about our film rankings or our final draft picks?
