About

The Mission 250 Filmcast is a weekly podcast where hosts Denny, John, and TC are watching the Top 250 Movies of All Time, as ranked by IMDB. With each episode focusing on a single movie, and moving towards the #1 movie in reverse order, we aim to broaden the listeners viewing horizons (as well as our own), and give not only our thoughts/opinions, but also history, trivia, and insight on each film. We can be reached at mission250filmcast@gmail.com, and the full list can be found at mission250filmcast.com.

Episodes

  • Episode 426 - Zootopia 2
    This week, we treat ourselves to a visit to the theater. By the box office numbers, we were hardly the only ones to go. Disney is raking it in on this sequel to the 2016 best animated picture winner, and we give it a peak. Zootopia 2 (2025), directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard.
  • Episode 425 - #5 - Schindler's List

  • Episode 424 - The Favourite
    This week, we're finish up our Lanthimos kick with the film that brought the director to a wide audience. We are divided on this one again, but the visual style and humor are enough to get a recommendation from at least two of us. The Favourite (2018), directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.
  • Episode 423 - Bugonia
    This week, we're continuing our Lanthimos kick with a film that is currently in theaters. We are a bit divided on how this one ended up, but we can say that if your a fan of the director, this one is worth seeing blind. Bugonia (2025), directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.
  • Episode 422 - Dogdooth
    This week, we find ourselves in October (when we recorded). And you know what that means? Scary films! The final week brings us to the director who gave us Poor Things. We can't in good conscience recommend watching this movie to any listeners, but if you want to be disturbed and witness some of the obvious filmmaking talent of early Yorgos, you may want to dare. Dogtooth (2009), directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.
