0:00.0	A restaurant's best dishes tell stories. Their flavors embed themselves in our memory like song
0:06.8	lyrics or lines from a movie. So much so that a little slice of a restaurant's story can become
0:13.3	part of our own. I'm Danny Chow and this is ShiftMeal, a new video podcast from The Ringer where
0:19.6	we're sharing a bite and chopping it up with chefs and
0:22.1	restaurant people during their off hours. All episodes of ShiftMeal are out now on Ringer food.
0:35.5	I'm Sean Fennessey, and this is The Big Picture, a conversation show about so many movies.
0:40.2	We're getting down to the end of the year, and there's so many titles we haven't had a chance to talk about.

1:09.8	in 2024.
1:15.3	This is a movie that changed blockbusters, science fiction, Arnold Schwarzenegger,
1:17.9	Cameron & Hertz's career, so many other things.
1:20.5	Had an absolutely awesome conversation with these two.
1:23.3	I highly encourage you to stick around if you care about this film.
1:26.2	In the meantime, though, we have some other stuff to talk about.
1:29.4	We're going to talk about some underseen movies with some Ringer All-Stars,
1:32.4	including our producer Bobby Wagner, here on the call right now.
