The year is 2019 and this podcast is based on an actual lie. The movie The Farewell.

Hello everybody and welcome to unspoold.

I'm Amy Nicholson.

And I'm Paul Sheer in this is the podcast where we are looking at the best movies of all time.

What are the best? What belongs on the 100 best film list? We're making our own. We went through the

A.F.I. list. We called that down from 100 to 40 and now we are going through in little mini series

to find what films might populate this list and we are leaving no stone unturned. We're doing

foreign films or doing American films or doing rom coms. We're doing movies that are completely

subtitled. We're all over the board and today we're talking about farewell. One of the more recent

films that we'll ever be doing on this show came out last year. But before we get into that,

last week's discussion of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. You know, where have you been with this

movie thinking about it at all? Since we last left? I haven't been thinking about it all. I haven't

been thinking about it a lot. I've been thinking about it a lot. I've been thinking about our

conversation that we had about grappling with art of the past and intentions and how much

do they matter and where do they weigh? It's been a conversation I've still been having with you

in my brain ever since. No, I feel the same way. I love that this movie can kind of live

on. Right? I think that a good film is a film that you think about after it's been over. I

definitely feel like Tokyo Story lived with me for quite some time and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

Did as well. I'm just like, oh, it's really interesting how they did this, how they did this and

what they were saying. I like that I can still feel and get pulled in by a film that is so old.

I know that that's a dumb thing to say. But in a time where people are giving their hot

takes on Susan Cain going like, it doesn't work. It's not that good. It's so wonderful.
