00:00 — Jim Forgot the Topic
The coldest open imaginable. Jim admits he thought this episode was about remakes. Geoff and David lose it.

03:00 — “Okay, Welcome to The Critics Club…”
The trio finally introduces the actual episode: Top 10 Movies Based on a True Story. Geoff goes first because apparently he’s the only one prepared.

05:30 — #10: Cool Runnings (Geoff)
This immediately causes a fight about Fargo, movie disclaimers, Coen brothers, and whether Geoff’s childhood Jamaican accent was appropriate (it was not).

12:00 — #9: The Founder / McDonald’s Lore
Geoff drops McDonald’s history facts. Jim debates accuracy. David threatens to reorganize his list mid-episode.

17:00 — #8: The Imitation Game
This turns into a side detour about Cumberbatch, Cillian Murphy, Peaky Blinders, and who would break whose face.

23:00 — #7: October Sky
Surprisingly wholesome. Rockets, NASA dreams, and childhood inspiration.
Also someone immediately compares it to Oppenheimer for no reason except chaos.

28:00 — #6: Killers of the Flower Moon
Leo plays “a box of rocks,” crimes against the Osage Nation, and the bleakest section of the list.

32:00 — #5: The Wolf of Wall Street
Everyone loves it way more than they want to admit.
The theater-reaction tangent is pure gold.

40:00 — #4 / #3 / #2 (David’s Wildcard Zone)
Includes:

Zero Dark Thirty accuracy debates

Catch Me If You Can (“IT’S NOT A REAL STORY” fight)

Hacksaw Ridge

Letters from Iwo Jima

A surprise Ip Man entry

53:00 — #1: Oppenheimer
Everyone saw this coming. Everyone still talks about it too long.
Score appreciation. Nolan speculation. Sea monsters??

1:04:00 — Bonus Chaos

300 trolling

Ridley Scott disagreements

Mel Gibson chair-yelling stories

A brief existential crisis about sad dog movies (Hachi)

Friends come and meet once a month at the Critics Club to discuss their favorite movies, tv shows, video games and much more. Some are more right than others, but that’s half the fun. Join Jim, David and Geoff as they duke it out over their latest opinions.
