This week on The Magnificently Huge Podcast, Brian, Chris, and Eric travel back to the impossibly distant world of 2019—a simpler time when our biggest concerns were whether Cats looked too horrifying and whether Martin Scorsese was going to make us sit still for three and a half hours.

​

And holy shit, 2019 had some movies.

We look back at a year that gave us Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Jojo Rabbit, Knives Out, Ford v Ferrari, Joker, Avengers: Endgame and approximately seventeen hours of Robert De Niro sitting down very carefully in The Irishman.

​

Hanging over all of it is the knowledge that these movies arrived during the final full year before everything got very, very weird. Audiences were still packing theaters. Streaming hadn't completely swallowed Hollywood. People casually touched their own faces in public. Nobody had a favorite brand of mask.

​

We had no idea how good we had it.
