Was 2022 just the third sequel to 2020, or was it the beginning of a new, more uplifting reboot series? Perhaps we can tell by taking a look at the year in films. On the Trick or Treat Radio Year End Special, we close the book on the previous year by listing our top films that we discussed on the podcast. We each present our own personal top 13s, including the first time we’ve had a list that was submitted by our Patreon Supporters! We then tally up all the lists and come up with the master list and we find out which film sits atop the pile. This was a pretty solid year in film- we had basement bat caves, killer clowns, plummeting partners, viking vengeance, and hot dog fingers. So grab your post-it note lists, make your final resolutions, and strap on for the world’s most dangerous year end show!
