Conrad and Nick continue their careful climb up the AFI 100 list! 25. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) Conrad likes it. Nick prefers Mac and Me. 24. Raging Bull (1980) BOOOOOOORING!!! Why it's this high on the list (not to mention ranking at #4 on the revised list) is beyond us. 23. The Maltese Falcon (1941) Conrad likes it. Nick thinks the plot is too slow and the talking is too fast. 22. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) This movie was probably awesome back when LSD was still new and exciting. Nowadays, it's pretty dull. Also, slow plot and fast talking. 21. The Grapes of Wrath (1940) Way better than we expected!! In fact, pretty goddamn good. NEXT: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Chinatown, Psycho, and The General.

Nick wants to talk about Ed Solomon -- co-creator of Bill & Ted and screenwriter of Super Mario Bros., Men in Black, Charlie's Angels, and more -- but Neal's being a buzzkill and keeps crushing the conversation!! Maybe Neal's in a bad mood because he watched Star Trek and Star Wars in the same day. That's like the mental equivalent of eating Pop Rocks and drinking soda. Finally, the guys revisit The Girlfriend Experience, a film originally discussed waaaaay back on AudioShocker Podcast #83 (if nothing else, click the link just to see the episode's ridiculous logo).

Meanwhile, Nick continues his obsession with Law and Order: Criminal Intent, having just completed the Jeff Goldblum seasons of the show.
