Sinnerbile, the Adnan Burke Movie Podcast.

Well put together by my boy Dan Stansick, won a wild and surreal night at the Oscars on Sunday.

1:00.0

Already was gonna be my favorite Oscars of all time because I was there. And then the way it ended and the fact that Clip went viral and it's on dead spin and I haven't stopped talking to ESPN radio affiliates and was on sports center with Steve Levy and Carrie Champion.

1:14.0

There's been an unbelievable ride. Welcome to Sinnerfile. I would expect this better be our most downloaded podcast of all time.

1:21.0

If we don't get record breaking numbers for this one, Stansick and I might as well just pack up shop. But first and foremost, I have more gifts. Whoever keeps sending me gifts, please, can you just send a card like this? I can write back, I can give you something back.

1:34.0

And it's more Scorsese books. Martin Scorsese, Melancholia and the mob. Scorsese's Melancholic Hero, Mark Nichols, argues is the hamlet of Hollywood cinema.

1:43.0

Can we knock that one out? And I've got another one here, the philosophy of Martin Scorsese. And this book, how about this one?

1:50.0

While he is perhaps best known for his films about gangsters and violence, his work addresses many philosophical subjects such as friendship, vigilanteism and the nature of unhappiness.

1:59.0

Mark T. Conard, thank you so much. More gifts. More Scorsese books cannot wait.

Let's do this in honor of Moonlight. We'll do it in the three-act structure. So I will do it with red carpet, actual Oscars and then after parties.

So we get to Hollywood on Friday, meet my man Ben Lines for those who are listening for the first time, which I hope we're getting a lot of new people listening now.

2:20.0

Ben is a star. He is the guy who made this happen. I met his agent Ryan there. I was like, so you guys made this happen. He's like, yes, like how tough was it? He's like, it was a challenge because they're just like, I don't understand who is this guy at ESPN?

2:32.0

Why are we having a sportscaster on Oscar dot com? And they were like, just listen to his podcast, Cinefile. So all credit to Dan and Pete Jenner City for letting us do this. He was listened for five minutes and you'll hear his passion for cinema and his knowledge.

2:44.0

But basically it was Ben vouchers for him. Ben wants to with him. So let's just make it happen. So I own my life. And he's you know, as soon as I meet him, he's like someone I've known for like 20 years. Maybe just because we're kindred spirits. We're just, you know, who else is talking about like Kenneth Lonergan.

2:57.0

And then we're joking about a fellow Harrington in the next back in the 90s. Like I don't know how many people I could do that with other than him. But he's the best. So I see him Friday. We have dinner with the whole crew. They're great. These are professionals. Rich our director and covering the Oscars 20 years. You know, all these producers. It's a well oiled machine. I'm the Neophyte just coming in from Central Connecticut. Saturday more rehearsals. So now I'm getting pretty wide eyed as Ben's noting. He's like, he cannot wipe that smile off my face. Permigrant.
