Episode 170
Friday, 21 November, 2025
00:00 — Jim Forgot the TopicThe coldest open imaginable. Jim admits he thought this episode was about remakes. Geoff and David lose it.03:00 — “Okay, Welcome to The Critics Club…”The trio finally introduces the actual episode: Top 10 Movies Based on a True Story. Geoff goes first because apparently he’s the only one prepared.05:30 — #10: Cool Runnings (Geoff)This immediately causes a fight about Fargo, movie disclaimers, Coen brothers, and whether Geoff’s childhood Jamaican accent was appropriate (it was not).12:00 — #9: The Founder / McDonald’s LoreGeoff drops McDonald’s history facts. Jim debates accuracy. David threatens to reorganize his list mid-episode.17:00 — #8: The Imitation GameThis turns into a side detour about Cumberbatch, Cillian Murphy, Peaky Blinders, and who would break whose face.23:00 — #7: October SkySurprisingly wholesome. Rockets, NASA dreams, and childhood inspiration.Also someone immediately compares it to Oppenheimer for no reason except chaos.28:00 — #6: Killers of the Flower MoonLeo plays “a box of rocks,” crimes against the Osage Nation, and the bleakest section of the list.32:00 — #5: The Wolf of Wall StreetEveryone loves it way more than they want to admit.The theater-reaction tangent is pure gold.40:00 — #4 / #3 / #2 (David’s Wildcard Zone)Includes:Zero Dark Thirty accuracy debatesCatch Me If You Can (“IT’S NOT A REAL STORY” fight)Hacksaw RidgeLetters from Iwo JimaA surprise Ip Man entry53:00 — #1: OppenheimerEveryone saw this coming.
