Ten years ago today, we released our very first episode, a discussion of Blood Simple, the freshman film of The Coen Brothers. Lots of proper episodes, special episodes, bonus discussions and iffy scheduling issues later, Daniel and Jeremy are joined by good friend Jeff Jensen to talk about what's evolved and what hasn't during those ten years, with a look back at the year-to-year rankings discussed during The Freshman Fifteen Oscars Specials.

Whether you're an old fan from the beginning or a new listener, thanks for joining us.

Our special 10th Anniversary Special Episode is available now.
