The Movie Bucket List (MBL) Podcast
Inspired by watching Chris spend hours looking for a movie to watch, Pam bought the book 1001 MOVIES YOU MUST SEE BEFORE YOU DIE (ed. Steven Schneider). From that book, they created their Movie Bucket List. Now their date-night-in is spent watching a movie from that list and bringing their thoughts to you: plot, characters, actors, favorite quotes, historical background, film theory, literary elements, or sometimes just the parts they like best. Most importantly, they discuss whether the movie should be included in the book (and your movie bucket list!) At the end of every episode, they reveal the next movie so that you, too, can finish your own movie bucket list (or at least just watch the movie first since they will discuss spoilers!)

Episode 43
We continue our quest to watch all 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. This week, we randomly selected our 32nd movie, Robert Altman's The Player (1992). The Player has the distinction of having the most Oscar winners in one film: 12 actors/actresses and 1 producer/director. Does the star power overshadow the plot? Can the acting help the self-important writing? Can Pam figure out why exactly this movie won so many awards? Feel free to tell us what we are missing! Find us on social media @themblpodcast.
