The new Beverly Cinema presents the Pure Cinema Podcast. My name is Brian Sauer, and I am joined, as always, by the delightful Edward Kane.

And we are talking director, missing pieces, blind spots, what have you, again, in our third installment.

But there's a twist, Elric, what's the twist on this one?

In the year 2000.

Yes, sir.

So we have decided that we are going to do only films post 2000.

So this is going to be probably a lot more recognizable stuff, you know, stuff that people that listen to the show have probably seen.

And these are more, you know, movies that we just didn't get around to for one reason or another, you know.

Yeah, I think each one that will be half the story is like the why you didn't see it, how you missed it or whatever whatever, whatever the, or hesitations. I've got a couple that were like, uh, directors I maybe liked a lot.

And I was hesitant to watch a late film by or, you know, there's always always interesting reasons.

And I think the post 2000, I have, when I did my list for this, these are the five or so I watched, or six, but there was a lot I didn't get to,

where I was like, probably ones that I felt like maybe too many people had seen that I had

missed along the way, or maybe two in just the last couple years. I avoided getting right up

to like the last couple years, even though we can go any direction on this. I think I ended up with quite a lot of mid-2000s,

just randomly. You know, I was never charting it. But no, I think it's really interesting. I mean,

it's weird. As somebody who's been, especially for us, we've been watching a lot more older films

in the last five years, right, like in our lives compared to watching new stuff,

probably because we're doing the show so much.

I'm sure there's movies I've missed on first release.

I know there's some Wes Anderson's I still have to catch up to in terms of like, you know,

some of us animated stuff.

So, you know, it's fascinating what falls through the cracks as you go.
