The tables are turned in this introductory episode when Jim's old friend and former podcast co-host Geoff Gresh takes over hosting duties to grill Jim about his favorite filmmaker, Billy Wilder! Along with countless interludes for irreverence, the boys discuss why Wilder respected writing more than directing, why he doesn't seem as relevant to a contemporary generation of young film fans, and how his position as an outsider in Hollywood allowed him to (as the kids say) not GAF. The recommendations come in order of descending happiness: The Apartment (1960), Double Indemnity (1944), and Ace in the Hole (1951).
