Also facing off today in what promises to be a brutal fight...
Movies About Making Movies (submitted by Everett Parrott)
vs.
Gore Verbinski (submitted by Mario Freitas and Lauren Damon)
2022 was a big year for movies about making movies, with awards contenders like The Fabelmans and Babylon. But Hollywood (and other international film industries) have been obsessed with looking inward since their very beginning. This video would look at everything from François Truffaut's Day for Night to Bowfinger to Son of Rambow. How accurate are these depictions of filmmaking? Why do filmmakers keep making movies about their own job? Does the general public care? What is inherently cinematic about making cinema? We'll find out (if it wins)!
But it has some tough competition from ol' Gore Verbinski, one of the true gonzo blockbuster auteurs of the 21st century! This is the guy who made the shockingly great American remake of The Ring! Who won an Oscar for the insane animated western Rango! Who made the fascinating disaster The Lone Ranger! Who made A Cure for Wellness, maybe the single grossest, most unpleasant major studio release of the past decade! And, oh yeah, who also made THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN TRILOGY! It's an incredible, varied filmography and there is so much to dig into there.
And don't forget to vote in our other match-up of the day: 90s Legal Dramas vs. Muppet Cinema

Gore Gang rise up this may be our only chance
Armando Marchetti
GORE ALL THE WAY!
Dean Hacker
Movies About Movies tend to be either over-rated (Day For Night), or under-rated (Babylon). That seems like a headache.
Aaron Nemoyten
Oh man, these are both such good topics!
Sam Aronow
It's Verbinskin' time!
vote for Gore so that Patrick will finally speak on A Cure For Wellness
Rad Rodge
All in on Verbinsk, we gotta do it
Ron Reynolds
I want to see both, but since I also submitted Gore as an idea, I gotta stick with it!
