About this listen

Not every movie wraps up with a neat little bow on the end. Some leave you asking "what the f@#$?!" We're here to find the silver lining in the latter. Join Dustin, Mallie, and Nathan every Monday as we try to find the light at the end of the tunnel for some of cinema's bleakest endings.© 2023 The Silver Linings Playlist Art

  • Episode 211: Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (with Drew Miles)
    Dec 22 2025

    This holiday season, we here at The Silver Linings Playlist proudly present to you a very special gift in the form of a super-sized episode. And what better movie to talk about for 2 and a half hours than the much conferred (and often criticized) Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. Where does this one fall in the legacy of Star Wars flicks? Is it better than you remember? We’ll let you know as we break down the film in its entirety, as well as discuss the most important topics such as Chewbacca fueling Yoda’s drug problems, the very contentious Empire cryptocurrency PalpaCoin, Sheev’s time as a gigolo on Naboo, and of course those c---y boots Obi-Wan loves to wear. All of that and more with guest Drew Miles.

    Happy holidays to all who celebrate, and we’ll see you in the new year!

    Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith stars Natalie Portman, Samuel L. Jackson, Ewan McGregor, Ian McDiarmid and Hayden Christensen. Directed by George Lucas.

  • Episode 210: Brokeback Mountain (with Michael Moss)
    Dec 8 2025

    It’s been 20 years since the “gay cowboy movie” split Western culture in two, but Brokeback Mountain is so much more than its prejudicial and controversial reputation. A film that arguably should have won Best Picture more than any other movie in its respective year, it unabashedly wears its heart on its sleeve and dares you to look away. Saddle up and come along with us as we celebrate this film’s cultural impact as well as its lasting legacy. Plus, conversations about the weird internet mob mentality against Anne Hathaway, “hard soups”, proms with only 3 students, Nathan chugging beans (literally), and so much more with returning guest Michael Moss. And, as always: f--- Crash.

    You can read Moss’s essay on the film here.

    Brokeback Mountain stars Anne Hathaway, Michelle Williams, Jake Gyllenhaal, Randy Quaid, Heath Ledger. Directed by Ang Lee.

  • Episode 209: Caught Stealing
    Nov 24 2025

    Just in time for the holidays, the boys are back to kick off Season 9! We’re fired up to talk about Aronofsky’s latest flick Caught Stealing – a big departure from his usual style of storytelling. It doesn’t quite work as well as we had hoped, but there’s still a lot of good stuff in this black comedy crime thriller. So put on your Giants cap and buckle up as we discuss everything this one has to offer, plus Giuliani’s abysmal late-‘90s New York nightlife, the Russian John Lennon story, cat group text threads, and so much more. Plus, a very, very special message from a big TSLP legend. You won’t want to miss it!

    You can watch the hilarious Heavy Rain fail video we discuss in the episode here.

    Caught Stealing stars Austin Butler, Zoe Kravitz, Regina King, Matt Smith, Liev Schreiber, and Vincent D’Onofrio. Directed by Darren Aronofsky.
