The 2002 Movie Draft with Chris Ryan | The Big Picture | Ringer Movies 

Sean is morphing into Bill

“What color is the blue gummy bear?” - Amanda Dobbins

1:35:24 - Sean saying the line "I don't like sand" and not mentioning Attack of the Clones in the entire 2002 movie draft is crazy.

"You just want to go to Europe and drink" We're in for a banger episode.

Amanda pulling a Jamarcus Russell "Yeah I watched the game tape" on this one

Did Amanda take an edible before the pod or what? Lol

One of the most unhinged draft episodes, and that is saying something. Loved every minute of it.

"this is what they felt when they saw 400 blows dog" lmao

Somehow Van Lathan ended up winning this one

CR’s glare at Sean is priceless at 1:36:58. Hahahaha

Actually one of the more entertaining pods in a while.

I can normally deal with Amanda shrugging off generationally beloved movies; but her shrugging off both LOTR and Spirited Away and then going into excruciating detail about bottom of the barrel, reactionary romcoms was rough.

Solaris, Road to Perdition, Death to Smoochy, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Equilibrium, The Count of Monte Cristo, and Changing Lanes are some underrated dark horses from that year. John Q was a big deal when it came out but pretty much never gets talked about now. Red Dragon and Insomnia are decent too. This pod needed like 3 more people to draft to really mine the depths of 2002.

Sean staring at Amanda while describing Punch-Drunk Love as relatable bc it's about a man struggling to find joy who is surrounded by hateful women lmao

crazy that this is my film school

I’ve watched this so many times because I love Amanda going off and all of the gummy bears sidebars! 😂😂😂

I love how Dobbins just can't for the life of her give any SciFi/fantasy or animated movie a chance. Sean mentions one of the greatest films of the decade and she's just like "YEAH YEAH YEAH--CONGRATULATIONS" I swear any movie that doesn't take place in an era or setting that she can understand is not a valid art to her or somehow beneath her. Unfortunately that puts sci-fi and fantasy completely out of the realm of her comprehension and it's hilarious. It also gives those types of genres way less exposure on this pod. I mean look at Sean like trying to wedge this in here and how awkward it makes him feel.

Deep cut by Chris with "State Property"

Biggest oversight is no mention of the all-time classic, Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. Honorable mentions to Robin Williams' dark turns (Insomnia, One Hour Photo, and Death to Smoochy).

I gotta go with Sean for the win💯

Not taking Spiderman or Signs is CRAZY

Amanda’s story about the soap at 35:00 is just insane. For one, electronic sinks work 99% of the time. Second, why would you use soap first? Soap goes on easier if your hands are wet.

Roger Ebert's favourite film of 2002 is MINORITY REPORT .. I agree with that

You should talk about movies you like but bill doesn't. Fade to black, the hard way and another stakeout. I love this show, keep it up

I love how they all complained about it being an awful movie year and they end up drafting great movies

I suggest you do a Misunderstood Draft across the regular categories. Would be great

Dobbins is getting daffier by the day

I'm a proud member of the Dob mob, so I ask cautiously, but was Amanda on drugs in this episode?

City of God?

They’re always in a great mood, and it makes me happy just listening to them. But on this one Amanda was really having a good time at her job, Sean’s jokes were the wittiest they’ve been, and CR always looks like the dude you wanna grab a beer and watch a game with.

not to be too serious here because i love that the big pic gets super silly, but this ep was almost unwatchable at points. amanda's constant derailment of the actual exercise really drove me crazy. LOVE her, but sometimes it's just like--can we get on with it and stop giggling through the entire show? i don't know if it's adding the filming component, but it has seemed worse lately.

Once again, Amanda is trying so hard to not get invited back.

To be fair, the one thing I read in the piece about Andrew McCarthy says this: And of Andrew McCarthy, one of the New York-based actors in St. Elmo's Fire, a co-star says, "he plays all his roles with too much of the same intensity. I don't think he'll make it." I'm not crying tears for Andrew McCarthy, but I'm sure that made him paranoid. And for someone young and an actor - they do seem to be a different breed - it does seem like a thing he could fixate on for decades. The term Brat Pack seems to have had a very "Scarlet Letter" effect on him.

I would like Griffin Newman to explain the crazy bananas box office run of My Big Fat Greek Wedding to Sean and Amanda, please!!

Signs is a terrific film, vastly underrated

Love the 'Misunderstood' category! Also, in all fairness to Sean, I had the sane reaction as Amanda when he said he was Joy 😂 Can't wait till Amanda starts asking automatic taps to clear their cookies because of all the soap on her hands

1:36:57 'Don't get fired, brother.'

hearing that soap part on audio gotta be the craziest series innuendos I've ever heard lol

State Property love!!! You all are the best

9:23 the “Brats” segment of you guys roasting Andrew McCarthy should be its separate own viral clip lol. That docu is so bizarre

Rules of Attraction YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Chris referenced both Traffic AND Ronin in a span of 3 mins

Super Troopers not getting a mention is a wild omission. All-time cold open. Since the transition to video podcasts Dobbins has turned her performative dial to 11, and it's a slog to fast forward through 25% ramble. When you need to fill airtime pass the ball to CR for the jokes. It's like holding the basketball until a shot clock violation, when you have Steph Curry who can drain 3's from any spot on the court.

Minority report is maybe a top five all time for me. ❤

1:21:15 honestly maybe the hardest I've ever laughed listening to this podcast 😂

Video team, can we get a gummy bear cam for future episodes?

Just make CR second chair already

Simply unreal levels of podding on display here

Idea for Hollywood and movie theaters: 🎭 🍿 🎥 I wonder if you could have screenings at theaters lasting for 90 minutes or 120 minutes of small short stories from a variety of young filmmakers , maybe 10-15 minutes each . You could have self funded or studio funded short films that have a life at the theater. After you leave the theater you would have had a sampling of so many new visions and ideas from upcoming filmmakers. You could rate and review the films. Talk about it with your friends online and maybe it could come around for awards season. Marketing this may be a social media challenge all to itself but If the filmmakers and studios become popular amongst the youth we may see a rise in theater outings. Working title: “Mystery Box Screening”

Is Amanda serious with her selections or is this a bit

Sean deserves some kind of award for having the patience to deal with Amanda. From not being prepared or caring, to the 10 minute Sweet Home Alabama derailment. You can tell he's annoyed. Get someone in there who watches films and actually cares.

The Pianist is incredible whatever you think about Polanski

Always knew CR was my guy! He picked State Property lol he a real one thats a classic fasho

Young me really enjoyed Swimfan so hearing 40 seconds about Erika Christensen on this podcast unlocked something I had buried in my mind for decades. She’s fantastic.

The Pianist

State property: 0% critics (12) 73%audience (5000+)

22:45

Bearded Sean is making me consider switching my allegiances away from The CR Heads and following my Lord of Letterboxd into battle! Jk, I could never abandon my CR brethren’s!

did Chris or Amanda even want to do this??? fax!!!

been waiting for the 2002 draft! im sure they'll address this - just started listening - but this year has some of the highest highs and lowest lows of any potential draft year.

undeniably a hall of fame Amanda performance

I don't think I'd be alone in the desire for another Reign Of Fire movie. Fury Road meets Game Of Thrones ish dragon epic. Lots of mud, blood, grease, charred flesh & smoke . . . Maybe even black and white photography or the sepia tone similar to Lars Von Trier's The Element of Crime.

Is the lighting harsh for anyone else?

55:00 i just saw Thief for 1st time... absolute classic, better than Heat--James Caan is the man...

Have you not seen Road to Perdition?

I hope this public breakup continues.

CR @ 1:11:00 😂😂😂😂

This is why I'm part of the Dob mob. I ride for Amanda

I am trying to over-interpret the different drink container choices.

Lilo and Stich hivemind where you at?

1:19:34 I do this at least 3 times a day lol

Lightning sand art is definitely a thing

So what? Seeeeaaaan! I went full completion at the mentioning of Russell Crowe! No kink shames bruv 54:13

Amanda completely ruined this episode, she had no interest in participating at all. Their draft episodes are their best ones, but this one was almost unwatchable

Apparently the gummies were edibles.

Boy Meets Grill is unhinged lunacy #crarmy

Did I miss any City of God references?

I could not be a bigger Amanda fan but she definitely seemed a little distracted by gummy bears and slightly unprepared for this one. Someone give that woman a full night's sleep. Keep drafting movies close to your heart, girl. ("You have a baby...in a bar!")

Maya Trufflefries I forgot about that

im cackling alone in my home office at 1:30 in the morning watching this.

So I've never seen Irreversible but I know some peep that swear by it. No mention? Not even from Sean?

When will the draft start?? 🤨

I rewatched Gangs of New York recently and I think it was ahead of its time. Adaptation is a deeply underrated film. Minority Report isn't Spielberg's greatest film, but it is his last great film.

this was unhinged. lol.

Been listening to The Big Pic for a long time and honestly can’t stand Dobbins at this point. Someone should tell her liking Europe is not a personality.

The chaotic energy Amanda brought to this episode was incredible, loved it

Sean carries this pod like 07 & 18 bron

This is the gummy bear draft, I don’t care what they say.

Is it weird I really enjoy watching idle Amanda typing and fidgeting and stuff? She makes really funny faces with her reactions. That's my 2 cents.

Amanda can’t even pretend to be interested

State property but no paid in full😂😂

So,,,what was in those gummy bears?

this is gonna make me sound horrible but.......is anyone else bothered by how screechy Amanda's voice sounds on these? I promise this is not a "woman voice bad" thing I just seriously think her levels are too high, it feels close to peaking, maybe something with whatever EQ they use? .......I feel bad pointing it out but I have to often lower the volume when she speaks both on audio and video podcasts.

Per box office tracking... it pretty much gets it right most of the time. It misses by a lot here and there but it gets it right a whole lot more. Not understanding why you guys bag on it. Otherwise great discussion as always-

No Insomnia? Clowns

Was Amanda zooted out of her mind for this episode?

Same reaction to Brats. I was looking forward to it but couldnt finish it. Real crybaby shit.

I like Amanda, but this was a bad podcast for her. She just didn't seem to care. It honestly would have been better without her.

Freeway > Beanie Sigel

Amanda just takes the show off the rails...Unsure if that is a good thing or not.
