What 2 Guys 5 Movies is All About
Hi, all! 2 Guys 5 Movies, a long-form film podcast, will be entering its third full year in 2022. The "primary" podcast features top five lists from various genres and subgenres. We have a wide range in our over 130 episodes. In 2020, we also added a weekly "supplemental" podcast, The Quick Cage, where co-host Frank Pellicone watched and reviewed every Nicolas Cage movie during an 23-month span. In 2022, a new supplemental podcast will begin weekly called The Spin Chagrin, where a ludicrous subgenre will be chosen randomly and Frank will have to watch and review the movie. This will be in addition to the main feed, where we will continue with extensive looks in top five lists.

This week, the podcast is doing something completely new and different. Friend of the podcast, Orion Wellmaker of the YouTube series Battletoad OVerload, joins us and explains drinking game rules he developed for the 1946 Humphrey Bogart/Lauren Bacall noir, The Big Sleep. Can Frank and I survive this absurd drinking game challenge?
Slightly drunken note: This starts out slow and picks up the more intoxicated we get. This is only according to the wave form. I cannot determine nor vouch for the quality.
