Calling all you Garys!! We're deciding to do another Listeners' Choice for our March Exception episode! Since 10 choices was a little unwieldy for the last poll, we're narrowing it down to 8 options - the 4 highest vote-earning runners-up from the last poll and 4 new offerings to spice it up a bit. The poll will be open for ONE WEEK ONLY.  Vote away and let's get loud in the comments!!

Comments

Kelly Guyon

Is ‘all of the above’ an option?

Taylor Cole

For Joe’s sake, vote Molly’s game!

Patrick O'Malley

It needs to be American President because of the globes precursors of it all. The narratives!!!

Keegon

Weird gays who love The Cell also love Contact!

Jennifer (Madame) Webb

I think I voted American President last time, but all of a sudden I REALLY want to hear Chris and Joe talk about Interview with the Vampire. Little Kiki Dunst! Blonde Cruise! Brad Pitt's pouty lips!

Ben Williams

We need to celebrate Jodie Foster being fully back in the fold. We need a Contact episode!

Gwen Schweitzer

Can’t not vote for American president but contact would make me happy too!

Kayla Pate

Pleaseeee Across the Universe is my misunderstood favorite 😭

Clare

Wow this was so hard to choose - ya'll are cruel for putting Interview up against Contact and only allowing me one vote!

Chris Sullivan

Voting for a chorus line makes me feel like an elder gay, but if it is to be said, so it be. So it is.

Topher Payne

Hear me out, Garys. We have been on a run of several good-to-great films, but you know how these guys shine when they dig in on a weird misfire. I have a film that offers Hillary Swank as a bisexual (but also quite non-sexual) femme fatale with Fancy Lady Voice. Narration so lackadaisical it borders on ASMR. Aaron & Josh as cops who are also somehow famous boxers? kd lang? My friends. Please consider THE BLACK DAHLIA.

Rob Watson

Lol, smashed the Black Dahlia button so hard.

Joshua S

Please stop sleeping on A Chorus Line. This movie is nuts. We NEED this episode.

Luca Bruno

A survey was taken a few years ago that asked 300 professionals one question, "What's the worst thing that can happen in podcasting?" Some people answered losing a game 7, and other people said getting swept in the 4. Some people said it was missing the world cup, and some Brazilians said it was losing to Argentina. Not just in the world cup. Anytime, ever in any contest. But one person answered that the worst thing that can happen in podcasting is 2nd place in a THOB exceptions poll. And that's the reason why I‘m voting for Molly‘s Game 🫡

StarBelly

The hover while I decided between Contact and The American President. The hover of it all!!!

Jason Feffer

I feel I always need to support Joe going all in on Sorkin. American President!

TheRealestXtina

Interview with the Vampire Hive step up!! We need you!!

James Olson

Trying to give myself an excuse to finally watch Contact

Arianna G

Just watched Contact this year for the first time and boy oh boy is it wild. Plus, I’m hoping that somehow when Robert Zemeckis is talked about I can hear your thoughts about Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (My favorite movie of all time)!

Dee Dee

I would love for them to discuss A Chorus Line. It has so much to offer - mid-80s fashion, Michael Douglas as the director, Terrance Mann as a choreographer, Janet Jones aka Mrs. Wayne Gretzky, Alyson Reed aka Ms. Darbus from HSM 1,2,3. And it was directed by The Right Honourable Lord Richard Attenborough!! Plus the best musical ending in cinema history. Who hasn’t danced in their living room to “One” and practicing your kick line?

Aysen Gerlach

would kill for you to do IWTV but I JUST watched A Chorus Line because i was listening back to 100 snubs and watched Every Little Step (incredible) so i have to vote for that omg

Braeden Udy

Interview is a masterpiece (but also maybe save for spooky season idk?) but we know both of their love for American president so that would be such a fun listen!

Marie

LET'S GO MOLLY'S GAME HIVEEEEEE michael cera SNUBBED for supporting actor that year

Deb McGowan

just got my ‘across the universe’ promotional military hat from ebay so this would be kismet. make it happen gary’s 🙏🙏

John Ananias

I'm going with THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT because (a) so good and (2) 2024 is sure to be a(nother) real rough year when it comes to (*gulp*) politics, and it might be more enjoyable to hear you two talk about that one in March than, say, November.

Braden Poapst

The thing about Contact is we’d need to get an episode that was approximately 18 hours of static to get the full experience.

Andrew Carden

Absolutely THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT - a top 5 '90s romcom!

Joel Cunningham

Remember that time in Across the Universe when Evan Rachel Wood earnestly delivers the line "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together!" like a revelation

Buck LePard

SAVING MR. BANKS predicted our current run of behind-the-scenes brand extension movies (AIR, TETRIS, FLAMIN' HOT, even BARBIE in a sense).

Matthew Holsapple

I am so confused by people voting for movies that are actually good. Bring on the trainwrecks!

Voyager

Interview with the Vampire. It is camptastic and would make a wonderful ep!

Anastacia Snyder Lando

I’m never going to not vote for The American President! But …oooh Mollys Game!

Jenny Maurer

I know y’all wanna do the American president but I also kinda retroactively wish you held off on Charlie Wilson’s war and saved it for summer so then you could do a giant sorkin summer.

Scotty B

In honor of Cera being a lil' shit [having been forced to watch 'This is the End' clips this week, no less]: Molly's Game. Can never give Idris enough love, too.

Adam Grosswirth

On the one hand I want to be a guest on at least two of these. On the other hand I just watched A Chorus Line recently and I'm good not watching it again!

Chelsea Samuel

Jodie Foster not getting a nomination for Contact is what fully radicalized me.

Beatriz Izumino

You say you were the last podcast to do "Eyes Wide Shut", but now you can be the last podcast to do "Contact" too!

Rob

I would swear under oath that you’ve done Molly’s Game already. In related news: I will never not mix up Molly’s Game and Miss Sloane.

Peter Smith

Quick add May December to the vote!

AJW

I look forward to all of these! Lol

Stephanie Radcliffe

The American President score is my mom's all-time favourite, so I have to vote my heart. Don't you want Joe and Chris to go off on how much they love Anna Deavere Smith?! Plus it's Rob Reiner's last good film.

Brandon Skidmore

Come on American President hive pull through!

Peter Smith

I am giving up my vote for Saving Mr. Banks (sorry 33ish other people) and joining The American President

This Had Oscar Buzz

ONE DAY LEFT! It's a tight race! Time to rally those of you who haven't voted!

Daniel

Too many great choices but I can't not vote for ACROSS THE UNIVERSE for personal reasons. There was once an impressionable young college freshman who thought this was his favorite movie.
