The Ranking of the Stars

Jack and Emeline

2 hosts, 95 movies, and a compulsive need to numerically rank things. Welcome to The Ranking of the Stars, where two bright-eyed and bushy-tailed hosts are slowly ground down into a fine, quivering powder under the weight of watching every single movie that"s won the Oscar for best picture, and ranking them based off however they happen to be feeling at the moment. Also did I tell you the hosts are married? The hosts are married. They love each other and its gross.

Hey audience, do you like fun? Well too bad, because this now officially a no-fun-zone, so sit down, feel guilty, and listen to Phil (the most righteous man to ever grace the earth with his presence) monologue at length about how just being good isn't good enough. If we all just do... something... it will definitely get better though....Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/forgottenLicense code: PFPWTE3SUZLQ0PKG

Travel back to a simpler time when alcoholism was just a fact of life, and pancakes were only 12¢ in this week's ranking.

"The Forgotten War" they call it. Yup. Definitely....Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/forgottenLicense code: PFPWTE3SUZLQ0PKG

6. "Cavalcade" (1933)

The Ranking of the Stars ·

2023/09/26

Jack and Emeline are forever changed as they strap in to the emotional roller coaster that is Cavalcade in this week's episode. Ghost horses, a royal funeral, confusion over the location of Africa, and a sand sculpture of Theodore Roosevelt are just a fraction of what's to be found in this hurricane of sound and images. You may believe you're ready. I promise you you are not. Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/forgottenLicense code: PFPWTE3SUZLQ0PKG

The Ranking of the Stars ·

2023/09/12

This week, Jack and Emeline gaze into an abyss of goth cowboys, bible quotes, and manifest destiny with no regard for their own safety. Look guys, I knew we were going to run into some rough stuff when we watched these old movies, but I was not prepared for this full speed charge into a mine field. Beware of shrapnel and don't stop running and you just might make it out alive. Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/forgottenLicense code: PFPWTE3SUZLQ0PKG

The Ranking of the Stars ·

2023/09/05

Jack and Emeline get drafted and can't escape the shelling in our latest episode. Oh, did you think we were done with the war? We're not even close to being done with the war. Will probably never be done with the war in fact. Calling it now: best picture in 2042 will be about the war.Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/forgottenLicense code: PFPWTE3SUZLQ0PKG
