Mission 250 Filmcast

Denny Kennedy, John Stricker, and TC Mulhern

The Mission 250 Filmcast is a weekly podcast where hosts Denny, John, and TC are watching the Top 250 Movies of All Time, as ranked by IMDB. With each episode focusing on a single movie, and moving towards the #1 movie in reverse order, we aim to broaden the listeners viewing horizons (as well as our own), and give not only our thoughts/opinions, but also history, trivia, and insight on each film.

Mission 250 Filmcast ·

2022/10/24

BONUS EPISODE - The Witch

Mission 250 Filmcast ·

2022/10/09

It’s October, and since last years scary movie marathon was so much fun, we’re bringing it back! This year, we’re kicking off Halloween month with a particularly dark movie. This film impresses not only as horror, but also as a directorial debut, an acting showpiece, and a “tone poem” (TC gets credit for that one). The Witch (2015), directed by Robert Eggers.

BONUS EPISODE - Sparticus

Mission 250 Filmcast ·

2022/10/02

This week, we watch the film that allowed Stanley Kubrick full creative control over all his subsequent projects. This film was out of his control, however, and he later tried to disassociate himself from it. Structured as one half war epic and the other half sappy romance, Kirk Douglases chin might not be enough to save this one. Spartacus (1960), directed by Stanley Kubrick.

Episode 46 - Gladiator

Mission 250 Filmcast ·

2022/09/26

This week, we watch Ridley Scott's film that nearly swept the 2001 Academy Awards. In addition to some great action sequences, Russel Crow was at the height of his powers, and Jaoquin Pheonix provided us with one of the greatest portrayals of a villain we've seen on the screen. Gladiator (2001), directed by Ridley Scott.

Episode 47 - Memento

Mission 250 Filmcast ·

2022/09/19

This week, we watch the ground breaking debut feature from Christopher Nolan, who would go on to become one of the biggest directors of a generation. Moving both forwards and backwards in time, this film plays as a noir with a heaping dose of storytelling through editing. Memento (2000), directed by Christopher Nolan.

BONUS EPISODE - Fantastic Mr. Fox

Mission 250 Filmcast ·

2022/09/12

BONUS EPISODE - Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's...

Mission 250 Filmcast ·

Mission 250 Filmcast ·

2022/08/29

This week, we watch a film that isn’t just about Vietnam - it IS Vietnam, man!

BONUS EPISODE - The Northman

Mission 250 Filmcast ·

2022/08/01
