5. The Must-See Movie Lists (25:04–68:00)

Bob’s Required Viewing

1. Chicago: Bob’s top musical.
   • “Chicago is the best movie musical of all time.” – Bob [25:52]
2. Dreamgirls: Paid for his whole family to go (“on a Chick-fil-A budget”).
   • “Beyoncé’s acting is phenomenal. Jennifer Hudson, phenomenal.” – Bob [51:29]
3. School of Rock: “Jack Black’s best film” and “one of the funniest movies of all time,” though they both admit the film is a bit problematic (fat-shaming, gay-shaming, kidnapping children).
4. The Lion King: “The best opening song in any musical ever. Stage, film… I cannot think of a better first song than Circle of Life.” – Bob [64:13]
5. The Color Purple: “The best movie of all time… the most robbed Oscar movie of all time.” – Bob [71:37]

Monét’s Faves

1. The Notebook: “His entire life is just bringing her memory back so she can just spend, like, a moment with her… I love that movie.” – Monét [44:10]
2. Sinners: “I just love how… all the layers of it. Black folk policing each other, vampires, teaching little girls to negotiate.” – Monét [53:10]
3. Birdcage: “If you are a young queer person or a queer person who’s never seen it, you have to give yourself time to watch The Birdcage. I think it’s Nathan Lane’s best work.” – Monét [67:20]
4. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: Cites the animation, music, and cliffhanger plot.
   • “It is one of the greatest animated films ever. The story, the animation, the music, the album…” – Monét [62:28]
5. X-Men (2000): “It set the stage for Marvel, Endgame, Infinity Wars, all of it. I love, love, love that scene with Storm at the end.” – Monét [72:09]

• Bonus: Monet admits she’d put Disney Channel Original Movies like "The 13th Year" over "The Lion King" (much to Bob’s horror) [66:40].

6. Movie Stories, Arguments, & Shady Takes

• Why Bob Hates Marty Supreme (32:29–42:32):
  Bob delivers a hilarious, impassioned synopsis (as only he can) of why the movie "Marty Supreme" is so infuriating:
  • “Marty is, in my opinion, not a great person... By the end, Marty has fully stolen money off a dead body.” – Bob [32:59, 34:50]
  • “Are you rooting for Marty? I’m not, but most people are.” – Bob [42:25]
• The Notebook – Red Flag Scene:
  Bob interrupts Monét’s recap to spotlight how the protagonist emotionally manipulates his love interest:
  • “Can we agree, right? Red flag, right?” – Bob [45:09]
• Crying at Movies:
  Both hosts admit to being moved emotionally—Bob reveals he recently cried at “Free Guy” and “Wicked: For Good,” while Monét cites “Marley & Me” and “The Notebook.”

7. Debates: Who’s the real villain and movie hot takes

• Birdcage: Bob insists the real villain is the son, not the Republican senator.
  • “It’s not the Republican guy... The villain is the son.” – Bob [70:43]
• Vampires: Villain or Not?
  Bob floats that maybe the vampire in "Sinners" is not a true villain—he’s building community, not just killing.
• Shout-out to Other Faves:
  Titles like "The Producers," "La Cage aux Folles," "The Color Purple" musical, and "School of Rock" get love and critical shade.

Tone & Style

The entire episode is giddy, irreverent, and fast-paced—full of inside jokes, performative mock outrage, lived-in friendship bickering, and zero patience for movie mediocrity or hypocrisy. Bob is prone to detailed breakdowns and impassioned rants. Monét counters with heart, humor, and an occasional left-field pick. They both sprinkle shade and humor throughout.

Takeaways

• Movies are personal, emotional, and prime ground for shade between friends.
• The hosts agree: Musicals loom large, but comedy, action, and queer stories matter too.
• Bob’s taste leans classic-musical; Monét’s is varied but heartfelt, not afraid of mainstream or genre films.
• Fundamental question: If you haven’t seen "Lion King," can you even call yourself a friend? (Bob says no!)
• True “required viewing” isn’t about highbrow tastes—it’s about what resonates emotionally, shapes identity, and lets you share inside jokes with your chosen family.
