So… we were supposed to be bringing you Episode 100 this week.

But because we are nothing if not committed to making this monumental milestone absolutely perfect, we decided to take an entire extra week to get it right.

Which means, naturally, we’re celebrating by giving you a Patreon freebie about Brokeback Mountain.

That’s right. While you patiently wait for our 100th episode, enjoy this very special episode from the archives as Dan, Rachael and Dale head into the Wyoming wilderness to discuss Ang Lee’s Oscar-winning 2005 drama, Brokeback Mountain.

We’re talking Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Williams, forbidden love, devastating life choices, cowboys, questionable camping arrangements and one of the most emotionally destructive films ever to make an entire generation insist they were “just watching a cowboy film”.

Expect our usual combination of film chat, questionable opinions, unnecessary tangents and the sort of analysis that definitely could have been completed without taking a week off.

If you enjoy Brokeback Mountain, Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ang Lee, film reviews, movie podcasts and three people attempting to make sense of cinema, you’re in the right place.

And if you’re wondering where Episode 100 is…

It’s coming.

We promise it’ll be worth the wait.

The gang is back in Forks, and after the frankly devastating experience that was New Moon, expectations are… somewhere beneath the floorboards.

Our last Twilight review left us with one major question: can this franchise actually produce a film we genuinely like? Even Rachael, our resident self-confessed Twilight fan and designated expert on all things Edward, Bella and aggressively dramatic staring, wasn't exactly singing New Moon's praises.

BUT… there is hope.

Because Eclipse is Rachael's favourite book in the entire Twilight Saga. So surely this is where things turn around, right? Right?! Surely we can't spend another episode complaining about vampires, werewolves, teenage romance and the general lack of anyone making sensible decisions?

In this episode of The Third Reel, we dive into The Twilight Saga: Eclipse to find out whether the third instalment finally delivers the goods. With Victoria on the hunt, the Cullens facing an army of newborn vampires, Jacob still Jacob, Edward still Edward, and Bella somehow having to choose between two supernatural men while the rest of us wonder why this is considered a difficult decision, there's plenty to discuss.

Will Eclipse finally earn a positive review? Does Rachael defend her favourite Twilight book adaptation? Has the saga finally found its footing? Or are we once again asking ourselves why we've willingly returned to Forks?

The chaos continues.

Last week, Legally Blonde somehow climbed all the way to #2 on our Top 100 Films Ever, proving once and for all that this list will do absolutely anything but make sense. 🤷‍♂️

Despite the questionable decision-making, plenty of great films joined the list. But as the rankings take shape, so does the animosity between our hosts. Friendships are being tested. Opinions are being questioned. Legally Blonde is somehow above The Dark Knight.

Here’s the list as it stands:

1. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
2. Legally Blonde
3. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
4. The Dark Knight
5. Saving Private Ryan
6. Jurassic Park
7. The Silence of the Lambs
8. It’s a Wonderful Life
9. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
10. Whiplash
11. Shaun of the Dead
12. Interview with the Vampire
13. Shrek
14. Spirited Away
15. Superbad
16. The Matrix
17. Mean Girls
18. The Iron Giant

So, what happens this time?

As the chaos continues, our list of 18 becomes 27... or does it?

Because this week, new powers enter the game. 👀

The rankings are about to get even more unpredictable. 🎥
