103. The 250 Anniversary Special 2018

Posted on November 3, 2018 by Darren

Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users.

This week, to mark the podcast’s two-year anniversary and passing the one-hundred-episode threshold, we decided to bring back as many of the guests from the second year as possible. So, joining Andrew and Darren on this podcast are:

Tony Black, who recorded Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 and Avengers: Infinity War
Marianne Cassidy, who recorded Wonder Woman, Your Name, Grave of the Fireflies, My Neighbour Totoro and Incredibles 2
Jay Coyle, who recorded Dunkirk, Blade Runner 2049, Tangerines and Inception
Ronan Doyle, who recorded Tangerines
Grace Duffy, who recorded Get Out, Ah-ga-ssi (The Handmaiden), The Force Awakens, Singin’ in the Rain, Touch of Evil and Inception
Luke Dunne, who recorded Mission: Impossible – Fallout
Jack Hodges, who recorded Into the Wild
Charlene Lydon, who recorded The Shawshank Redemption, The Grand Budapest Hotel and Touch of Evil
Babu Patel, who recorded Lagaan, Dangal, United Passions, PK and Rang de Basanti
Giovanna Rampazzo, who recorded Lagaan, Dangal, PK and Rang de Basanti
Carl Sweeney, who recorded Double Indemnity
Alex Towers, who recorded Braveheart, Barry Lyndon and Inception

We thought we’d take the opportunity to have a talk about the best and worst of this list, both in general and over the past year, with particular emphasis on the changes that the IMDb made to their rankings of the worst films ever made back in July.
