Ro and Brad are back and in this week's episode the top 5 most perfect movies are listed, in no particular order. This was a tough episode to put together, a few months in the making. Imagine picking your Top5 Most Perfect Movies. Would your list change day to day? Ours did. So many great movies throughout the decades, but we got down to business making a very comprehensive list. Did your movie make our list? Plus, Brad asked AI to identify a list of perfect movies. Listen in and see what artificial intelligence selected. The list surprised us for sure and so did our own selections. We also got a voicemail from everyone's semi-producer, Camray and he talks about his own criteria to apply to this task. One of our favorite shows this summer, our Top5 Most Perfect Movies. Listen in and make sure to email us your picks. Thanks for listening and thanks to our wonderful Patreon supporters.

Check out this week's discussion with Brad and Ro and thanks to follower Loki Jarson for suggesting the topic. We explore the concept of 'Death of the Author' in this deep dive where it's postulated once a work of art is out, it no longer belongs to the author. We explore the idea that the consumer attaches meaning to said project and that the author's original intent is no longer valid. Does it apply to long standing franchises like Star Wars where the original author is no longer in charge of the message? Do new authors need to refer back to the original text to formulate new stories? If they don't what may or may not be missing? We get into the weeds on this. Another Scarif deep dive. We hope you enjoy it. Got any thoughts on this episode? Reach us at ScarifScuttlebutt@gmail.com and tell us what you think.
