The first animated movie on the list, 1995's groundbreaking "Toy Story"! Denise Mazan joins Steve, along with lots of MMC members chiming in LIVE. Other firsts, sure to show up again, on the list: Tom Hanks, Pixar and a great song by Randy Newman.
Which toys did you have that were in the movie? Where are all the fathers in this movie? Were the toys pretending when Andy was with them, or when he wasn't? Was Syd and his taste in Heavy Metal unfairly maligned? All these questions get answered. Kind of.
Is this animated masterpiece the 94th best movie ever? (HINT: Steve thinks it should be way higher)

Who better to join Steve in discussing this masterpiece of Neo-realism than one of the smartasses from TMZ, Comedian Brian McDaniel. Also, returning guest Comedian/Filmmaker Eric Toms gives us trivia and his take on why this movie is so damn good 70 years later. It's 1948's "The Bicycle Thieves" from Italian Director Vittorio De Sica.
The Irish Critic (Steve's Mom) gives her thoughtful review and the live guests discuss the use of amateur actors, black & white, and if we got a happy ending or not. Would a bicycle lock have ruined this whole movie? Would it be called "The Segway Thieves" if it was made today. Listen in and find out.

Let's kill some Nat-zis! It's 2009's "Inglorious Basterds." Tarantino makes his first appearance on the list, while star Brad Pitt shows up in back to back movies on the Top 100. Our first repeat star. Have we been undervaluing Brad Pitt? Or has Host Steve Mazan been the only one thinking he was more looks than talent? Is this Tarantino's masterpiece?
Mazan Movie Club members chime in as well as in studio guests Comedian Paul Morrissey and Denise Mazan. What's the best scene? How bad is Denise's Aldo Raine impression? Listen in and find out.

Mazan's love British humor. And crime stories. And Violence (well most of the family). So Guy Ritchie's 2000 film "Snatch" becomes a family affair as Steve's wife Denise joins in, as well as his sister, and as always mom: "The Irish Critic."
Good news they're all more intelligible than Brad Pitt's character Mickey.
