Hey all - we were supposed to record last weekend but ran into some scheduling issues. To give you some extra content with the longer wait, I wanted to discuss some of my favourite movies I watched last year. Think of this sort of like an extended solo 'What we Watched' episode. I start off with my honourable mentions, my 'B' tier movies, and finally my top 15. You can read the entire list on my substack (see the links below).
We will be back with you in a few days for a special Christmas-themed episode. See you soon!
