Is #25 suppose to be my #25? I'm still not getting this and I'm not clicking on the podcasts to learn because I don't have time to squeeze that in.
Yes, and it's easy. You'll pick your film at your designated spots (list form in the other thread) 25, 16, 15, 6 and 5. You can veto or override our picks while you wait to make yours. You'll get it no problem once we start rolling. But you start the list/draft with the first film at the #25 spot.
Now, I don't want to confuse too much with potential strategy until you get the hang of things. You don't have to just pick whatever is #25 on your flickchart perse, but just do that for now.

Sometimes on the show they would eliminate things that were to chalky. For example they eliminated Argento from the giallo draft because everyone would pick Argento movies. Not saying we do that for Disney movies just thought I would mention it
Hot damn, never thought of that looking at Argento's skeletal frail ass. Talk about a monumental big dick flex. You remove him from the genre and good god.
How'd that draft go? "Hey class, today we're gonna make a list of words with no vowels in them, okay?"... Well this game sucks.
In a way the draft was more informative because excluding Argento made the people drafting have to dig deeper. I heard some titles that were new to me. Jaws franchise was excluded from the Aquatic horror draft and I don't remember who won

Yeah, I get it, some things are just so dominant. But Argento really has giallo on intense lock. Like if you remove Cheech and Chong from stoner movies, you still got some good ones to sift through. Scorsese from gangster movies etc.

That said, you should start with Dumbo.
*checks present list without adjustment for Goofy Movie* Yep, it currently sits at #25
I'm also wondering if I should be counting Legend of Sleepy Hollow with Adventures of Ichabod & Mr Toad as it was theatrically presented, which would totally drop it's current placement.

Btw there are some different schools of thought on how to play these lists. Some do play it straight and will play their #25 at 25, their #10 at 10 etc. Without getting into it too much, I’m probably only going to pull from my top 10-15 and try to play titles where I think I can get them on without being vetoed.
