| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Sincast, welcome to the same cast. This is Chris Atkinson from Cinema Sims, joined as always by the |
| 0:24.2 | voice of Cinema Sims Jeremy Scott. |
| 0:26.0 | Hello! |
| 0:27.0 | And also music video, Syns writer Barrett Cher. |
| 0:29.5 | Howdy. |
| 0:30.2 | All right guys. 1978. We decided this. It was a year. It was a year not so filled with very many great movies. |
| 0:48.0 | It's funny when we did the last podcast we were complaining about doing 77 because it had so few good movies |
| 0:54.9 | that Barrett even asked, maybe we should just skip 77 and go on to 78. |
| 0:58.7 | Now that we're here at 78, it's not any better. |
| 1:01.0 | Yeah, yeah, what happened? I think really there was a Star Wars effect right because well I mean Star Wars effect didn't really happen in |
| 1:08.3 | In 77 as much as it happened to everything that happened after that, but and I'll just go ahead and say if you guys ever want to read like an |
| 1:16.8 | awesome history of movies, read Easy Writers Raging Bulls, which talks about this effect of how Jaws and Star Wars sort of affected movies after that and everything. |
| 1:27.0 | 1978, I don't know, it might be excused for it, but you would think that all those movies were in production before the big Star Wars, whatever. |
| 1:34.8 | Okay, so what we have here is like a few like good movies and some, there's like a couple that people might consider great here, but there's one, one huge one here that everybody that everybody knows considers great and I do not and that is the deer hunter. |
| 1:52.0 | This will not be, we will not. and that is the deer hunter. |
| 2:00.0 | This will not be, we will not repeat the academy's mistake here making that movie the best picture of 1978. Well I can tell you you're right because I am also one of the few that does not like the deer hunter. |
| 2:05.0 | Yeah. |
| 2:06.0 | I really feel like the deer hunter is one of those movies that people look fondly back on because it has that one intense scene with Walking and |
| 2:15.0 | DeNiro and that's it that's about it like everything else in it is just |
| 2:18.8 | boring bullshit I've seen that I've seen it four times at least trying to get back you know like a man the first |
| 2:26.8 | time maybe I was just in a bad mood or something or whatever maybe I'm being |
| 2:30.6 | a dick I watched it again and I'm like man this movie. What is it? What is it? Why do people love this movie? I don't like it at all |
