Each spring, we look forward to the coming year in film and turn that anticipation into a game. We hold a Movie Draft wherein we each draft a set of films (in standard serpentine fashion) and we dedicate an episode to this purpose. The game is simple: Each drafted film is worth a certain number of points based on its total worldwide gross, its Rotten Tomatoes score, and it's Letterboxd score. The formula is as follows: Total worldwide gross (simplified) multiplied by Rotten Tomatoes score multiplied by Letterboxd score (with bonus points for winning the weekend). So a movie that makes 100 million dollars with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 80% and a Letterboxd score of 4 would be worth 64 points (100*0.8*0.8=64). We tally up the score for each of us (the total point value for each of our respective set of films) and at the end of the year, we declare a winner and, more importantly, a loser. The loser of the movie draft has to record a solo episode on a movie of the winner’s choosing.

The current standings for the 2025 Movie Draft are as follows:
