Fix My CarcastBe Nice To The AFI 100 Comedies - Ep. 6 - 5/3/22(This episode originally debuted on YouTube on 5-3-22.)Bear Claw Billie decided to record a podcast during their work commute while their car is broken. Today's topic is from Scott and he would like BCB to talk about comedy films on the AFI's 100 Years, 100 Laughs list (specifically Harold & Maude but that wouldn't fill 20 minutes).

Film SchoolSwing Time (AFI Top 100 Starter Pack #10)We decided to end the AFI Top 100 Starter Pack with some old school "class"... Old movies feel like Disneyland.

He plays the naive, uptight and awkward Benjamin Braddock who masks a disenchanted with his parents’ rich, vacuous, meaningless lives, with a frozen mask for a face that says ‘I’m screaming on the inside.’ But, then the wife of one of his father’s friends propositions him with an affair . . . and he proceeds to fall in love with her daughter.

Any sample of the AFI Top 100 wouldn't be complete without Francis Ford Coppola, and he is the real star of this ambitious, disturbing, madness-inducing look into the horrors of the Vietnam War based on the novella “Heart of Darkness." Starring Martin Sheen and a veritable cavalcade of other recognizable actors, this film might just be the best representation ever made of how war feels. Like Sheen’s Willard, it nearly cost Coppola his own sanity to make . . . and that might just be perfect. Let’s head down the river, kids. Everything will (not) be fine...2022-02-211h 20

Finally, it's the grand finale of our AFI Top 100 series. Listen to Braden and Graham discuss the final 10 films, such as the pop culture classic "The Wizard of Oz," the very questionable "Gone With the Wind," an overrated Hitchcock film and maybe Humphrey Bogart's most iconic role and more.
