Credit where credit is due: We did not cook up the “firewatch challenge” but rather Scott listened to them do it over on the Confused Breakfast podcast and thought it was a good idea. And guess what, it was!
 
I went into the exercise thinking I might make a few bold choices here and there but at the end the day I think we all more or less decided to stick to comfort food. Movies we’ve watched over and over again already and safe bets to keep our mental sanity in check for 12 months of relative isolation.
 
It probably won’t surprise you that a number of films on The List feature pretty prominently although there are some glaring absences. Also, if you listened to last episode’s Garbage Time you’ll remember that 1999 might be the best year ever in cinema and that holds true here as well.
 
To remind you, here are the rules for our take on the “Firewatch Challenge”:
 


We each have been assigned to an isolated fire tower in Northern Quebec.


We can “rent” one movie a month and it will be the only thing we can watch on our crummy little televisions.


If we try to rent the same movie as one of the other hosts the other hosts will sub in a movie they deem to be close enough.


There are no special features on any of the movies.


We have access to a “little bit” of weed if we want it, but only really in the summer months.


Wrestling Pay-Per-Views are allowed.


 
Meanwhile on a brand new episode of Garbage Time you won’t believe it but Jon and Keith talk more about Silksong. Keith took a bit of a break and Jon is definitely right at the end game. We also take a look at the White Wolf 5th Edition Humble Bundle deal that’s going on right now.
If you would like to show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time that would be appreciated.
