Never Say Die!Inter-MISSION: Bottle RocketIt's Inter-MISSION time: Drew and Rafe are back with our longest Inter-MISSION yet! They talk about things they missed the first time around with Bottle Rocket and stat their draft characters, go over a tidal wave of listener responses, talk about directorial debuts, and announce the next Heist movie they'll be taking on.
Programming Reminder: There will not be new episodes of the podcast in August, but we'll be back in September to continue our Heist season with the next film! We'll continue to interact with friends through our Never Say Die Facebook group though.

This month we're looking at a subgenre of Heist films that undermines that resolution: the incompetent criminals. We talk about Wes Anderson's debut film, 1996's Bottle Rocket, featuring Owen and Luke Wilson as part of a criminal team with bigger ambitions than talent.

Rafe and Drew talk about this iconic 1992 heist film, complete with an excellent plot and a star-studded cast. Listen as Rafe dislikes baseball movies, Drew torments himself with his draft selection, and the duo rave about one of their favorite movies, which holds up incredibly well despite being over thirty years old.

We talk about the benefits of less-traditional heist films like this one, discuss the toxic fanbase surrounding the franchise, and explore the benefits of building a game that will absolutely end in a total party kill.

Ocean’s Eleven (2001)We're getting the band back together and kicking off our Heist season with 2001's Ocean's Eleven, one of the best contemporary heist movies we could find. We gush over Danny and Rusty's chemistry and the way the movie allows each of its specialists to shine before we steal songs from the soundtrack, draft the beginning of our heist crew, and talk about gamifying flashbacks and ticking clocks. It may look like we're stumbling our way through this, but you'll learn by the end that it was all part of our plan!

Drew and Rafe sit down and outline expectations for our second season of Never Say Die! as we dive into the Heist film genre. What makes a heist film? What specifically makes up our definition of a heist film? What segments from the show are returning? What's being cut? And why won't this be the only time you hear us talk about Hudson Hawk? All of your questions will be addressed within! Okay, maybe not all of your questions. But some of them.

Then, it's time for the final episode draft, where we whittle down the characters we've picked to a final team of seven mundane kids and one peripheral adult. Who will stay and who will be cut? You'll have to listen to find out. Before everything is done, however, there's one last piece of information to share: the topic for our second season!

Watching E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial means facing our fears, much like many of the characters we've discussed this season. Can Rafe and Drew overcome their nightmares to see the beauty of this all-time classic? We also discuss other movies that didn't quite make the cut for our first season.

Rafe and Drew talk about the movie and then revisit some past ideas of how to best gamify the film for use at your gaming table.

Not only do Drew and Rafe talk about this 2017 film, but they also go into the 1990 miniseries, the original novel, and even a couple of references to the 2019 follow up, so be warned: spoilers abound!

Despite Rafe's skepticism about whether this would make a good pick or not (including an early apology), Rafe and Drew really dig in and find quite a bit to like, both about the movie and about gaming ideas that can come from the film, thus proving not every "nostalgia pick" has to be a bad selection for use at the gaming table.

While this is a movie Drew grew up loving, we weren't exactly sure it fit into our current theme, but this was too good an opportunity to discuss it to pass by. Is it a "kids on bikes" movie?

Still, if you want a film that really captures the feeling of a kids on bikes campaign, this is one that you must see.
