They discuss the merits of films like "Almost Famous" and "Dazed and Confused," with Mike asserting that "Dazed and Confused" is far superior, while Eli disagrees 1. Their conversation extends to casino-themed movies, where they rank films such as "Casino," "The Hangover," and "Oceans Eleven," revealing personal biases and humorous anecdotes 2.

I think that the top ten ranking on "Almost Famous" in that decade is not going to hold up. Well, that was a fire decade.

If you could choose one steroid era MLB player's steroids to take for a whole year... who would you choose?
