The 2017 Film Draft

They Drafted 2017's Best Films Before You Even Remembered They Existed

The Film Dogs are back in the draft room and this time they're raiding 2017, one of the most stacked years in recent cinema history. Mr. B defers his number one pick to gain an extra Wild Card and the board gets flipped upside down before round two is even done.

In this episode: Mr. B loses his number one pick in the first 30 seconds and has to regroup | Lord Marcus delivers a full emotional breakdown about aging, Gen X heroes, and why Logan hit different this time around | The Safdie Brothers get their flowers | Lord Marcus drafts the director of The Substance before anyone knew who she was | A family film makes the final pick and somehow nobody's mad about it | Plus: John Wick 2 causes a mild political incident on a film podcast.

The draft? Absolutely loaded. The chaos? Immediate. The boards? Two of the strongest they've ever put together.
