The Longlist
The Longlist
Josh and Jack Muller
Here at The Longlist, we celebrate movies and other pop culture through the storied art of rankings. There are no wrong answers. There are no bad opinions. And hot takes are always encouraged. We love movies and we love talking about them even more. Throughout each episode we’ll dissect a given topic, be it a director, actor, genre, studio, or even just a single movie that we really want to deep dive. And the way we really break down each topic is through a series of rankings, usually in the form of a ”top five,” ranging from serious film criticism to whimsical anecdotes. And finally at the end of each episode, we have our main top five list, which we have deemed the short list. Come for the short list and stay for the long list. Nothing we say will ever be the end all be all. On the contrary, we hope it will encourage similar conversations with you and your friends. We have a lot of fun and we hope you will too.
Ep 54. Longlist Jeopardy
The oft mentioned first installment of Longlist Jeopardy is finally here. Josh and Jack faced off to see who would be the victor in this epic battle. And they had some skin in the game as well: Whoever prevails will receive a "one for me" episode in the near future and have full creative control over its content.  This was a lot of fun and something we'll surely do again. Hope you have fun listening. Reach out to us at [email protected]   Music credit: Happy and Fun Kids Jazz by Alex Productions- (Free Music Archive), (cc by-nd)

Ep 51: Sci Fi Part 1
We're embarking on a larger project with this episode, attempting to tackle the genre of Science Fiction in movies. This is part 1 of that exercise with the sub topic of focusing on Post Apocalyptic and Dystopian movies. Josh and Jack are joined by their good friend, Jason Slavin, who has a strong background in this department. It's impossible to cover a genre completely, but we tried our best and had a blast.   Music credit: Happy and Fun Kids Jazz by Alex Productions- (Free Music Archive), (cc by-nd)

For our 50th episode Jack and Josh thought of something fun: they each brought a list, unknown to there counterpart, with 50 entries on said list. It was a lot of fun to record.

Episode 47: Ryan Gosling
In honor of his new movie, Project Hail Mary, we decided to do an episode centered around one of our collective favorite movie stars, Ryan Gosling.
