The one in which we break down the past twelve months of film. We’ve done it before and we 13:01:33 +00:00 ">will might do it again. We start off the show saying that we’ll spend the second half of the show talking about the past decade. But this thing goes on long enough and we call an audible and decide we’ll record that conversation at a later date. But for this episode, we come up with a few thoughts about what 2019 had in store for us; just off the cuff: horror movies are actually hilarious, the poor eat the rich, Eddie Murphy sparked a personal renaissance, streaming reigned supreme, Bombshell wins our casting award and Disney can just fuck right off. This is just a taste of all the goodies we uncovered. Of course, no year in review would be complete without the obligatory top ten (or so) list that requires some amount of breakdown.

As always, please join the conversation by leaving your own thoughts in the comment section below and again, thanks for listening!
