About this listen

Here at The Longlist, we celebrate movies and other pop culture through the storied art of rankings. There are no wrong answers. There are no bad opinions. And hot takes are always encouraged. We love movies and we love talking about them even more. Throughout each episode we’ll dissect a given topic, be it a director, actor, genre, studio, or even just a single movie that we really want to deep dive. And the way we really break down each topic is through a series of rankings, usually in the form of a ”top five,” ranging from serious film criticism to whimsical anecdotes. And finally at the end of each episode, we have our main top five list, which we have deemed the short list. Come for the short list and stay for the long list. Nothing we say will ever be the end all be all. On the contrary, we hope it will encourage similar conversations with you and your friends. We have a lot of fun and we hope you will too.Copyright 2025 All rights reserved. Art

    Happy Holidays, all. Jack and Josh run through a bunch of old stand-by lists, in the spirit of rewatching the same holiday movies every year. We hit the classics and also have some fun wrinkles to add. We love holiday movies here at the long list and try to do them justice with this episode. We hope everyone has a happy and fun loving holiday season. And stay safe!

    We have a bit of a different episode today on The Longlist. Jack and Josh try to make sense of all the different angles of the Warner Bros. sale. It's an impossible task, but they gave it the old college try. At the end of the episode they touch on a few minor news stories around the world of Hollywood.

    On a final note, a few hours after recording, the news of the deaths of both Rob Reiner and Michelle Singer Reiner broke. What a tragic loss that shook the world of movies to it's core. We're sure to do a Rob Reiner episode down the line, but we didn't talk about it much in this podcast because it happened after recording. Thoughts, love and prayers go out to the family and loved ones.

  • Dumb and Dumber
    Dec 9 2025

    In this episode, Jack and Josh are joined by their good friend, Austin Thompson to discuss one of the wildest and most endearing comedies of the 90s, Dumb and Dumber. Remember when studios use to make comedies? Like, all the time? It doesn't seem to happen as much anymore, but the mid 90s were ripe with comedies and this one is one of the best. And Jim Carrey hit the scene like a wildfire and took over Hollywood for a few years. We had a lot of fun breaking down this movie and we hope you have fun listening.
