The initial idea was to have a podcast previewing some of the movies we’re excited about this year. That quickly turned into a draft of sorts, and then it mutated into an auction.
The ground rules were that I would describe and break down different upcoming films and then our cavalcade of “executives,” Erica Steward, Jake Richards, Matt Dlugie and Ben Wittenstein, would bid on what they wanted. It was kind of that, but it was mostly me not knowing how to do anything in Excel and long diatribes that had little to do with movies.
It’s perfect.
Here it is.
Of course, you’re planning to listen (or have listened already), but if you also want to see the teams that everyone ended up with, we have those below. We’ll eventually figure out the Winner by merging the ratings from IMDb, Letterboxd and Rotten Tomatoes. I hate math, but we’ll figure it out.

Wonka
