The penguins are trending! If you've missed it there is a penguin scene in this documentary by Werner Herzog that has been making its way around the interenet recently, leading to endless memes and content. We decided to strike while the iron was hot and do a whole episode on this awesome hang out nature documentary. Plus it's Jack's 19th favorite film of all time, so he didn't mind. We had a blast and if you haven't seen Encounters at the End of the World, we her at The Longlist highly recommend it. Enjoy the episode. One for Jack!

Episode 42: Fix The Oscars

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.
