In this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, we do our usual and usher 2023 to a close with a final look back over the year. First, we reflect a bit on the podcast itself and go over some things we learned and struggled with during the year and highlight some of our favorite moments and share just a few regrets. After that, we leave the best of 2023 top ten lists to the experts and instead go over some of our favorite film discoveries we made this year. Specifically, any movie that we watched this year for the first time, regardless of its release date. Finally, we wrap up by laying down some plans and wishes for the new year.

To everyone that has tuned in, left a comment, or even reached out with feedback, thank you so much. We really appreciate it and it means the world to us. Here's looking forward to 2024 and another year of exploring (and celebrating) the wide world of cinema.
