| 0:38.2 | have the influence the films that we watch today. But for the last four weeks give or take one week when we talked about Star Wars we've been looking back at the last decade and what a decade |
| 0:49.2 | has been Amy and I have brought up many a movie to see what really stands out as the movie of the decade and I don't think we're going to get an answer to that but we figured it's enough of us talking we wanted to hear from you and we also wanted to hear from some of our friends that are in this business. |
| 1:07.5 | We have actors and directors and voice over artists. I mean we have an amazing lineup of calls today. We have people like Sarah Silverman and Pat Naswald and Adam McKay and Justin Royal and just to name a few people calling him but you know this show is not made just by Amy and I know we actually have two gigantic film fans on either side of us. |
| 1:32.5 | One is our producer Josh Richmond how are you Josh I guys and the other is our as our sound engineer Devon Devon welcome hello Devon you both have put together your own top 10 lists of the decade and I think Amy and I both look to you as as being people that we respect right. |
| 1:52.5 | Absolutely and I like I mean I couldn't expect them more they have my entire hearts and souls I love them so deeply and I thought it would be really fun to hear your bottom five picks we're going to hear all 10 of them but let's start off the episode by hearing your bottom five picks of the best films of the decade I know Josh you've already cheated you say you have 11 I do I can I can there was I had to have one honorable mention I love it I like an ambitious producer yeah. |
| 2:21.5 | We will flip a coin in our mind okay Amy you pick it heads or tails and I guess we have to pick what you guys have what do you want to oh no I have a bottle I'm going to spin the bottle and we'll use it to see who go all right that's good our beloved Kim trucks will send us the sweetest Christmas gifts oh my gosh she sent us a horse's head in chocolate there you shades of Godfather if that's what it takes I'll never put that man in a movie. |

| 3:00.5 | All right okay closer to Devon here we go your bottom five best films of the decade now I will preface this by saying that Josh and I are such nerds with this that we have both made a hundred films of the decade I heard about that's where this all started but we have noted down to the 10 for the |
| 3:19.4 | purposes of the seven but we did make our hundred films of decades I will say I will say separately or did you it grew out of the conversation it was actually during the DC body |
