The American Film Institute has released lists of their top 100 films in many different categories over the years, but in today’s episode, we discuss the lists that started it all: The 100 Greatest American Movies Of All Time (as of 1998 and 2007, at least).

Fan fiction! Fan art! All fan made works that show just how much we love the media we consume are valid works of creative expression, which is what we discuss today.
