We're taking a stab at our first draft here at The Longlist. The topic of the draft is crime movies and or goal is to create our ideal crime movie by selecting other elements from films in the genre. The eight categories we selected were: Cop/detective, Criminal, Crew, Set Piece, MacGuffin, Love interest/Femme Fatale, Twist, and Setting/Vibe. Adam Murray joined Josh and Jack again. We had a blast and hope you have fun listening.

The Shining

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.
