Well 2021 was a pretty uneventful year, wasn’t it? Not much happened, we only said goodbye to our brother MZ who is hanging up his headphones and departing the show. We watched 60 movies this year, much to Ravenshadow’s chagrin. We endured tech issues, COVID, and all other manner of terrible things. On second thought, what the hell, 2021 wasn’t much better than 2020! On the 2021 Year End Special we all present our personal Top 13 lists from the films we watched this year and we find out which film gets the coveted spot as the top film of the year! With this episode we also end a large chapter in Trick or Treat Radio history as we forge ahead into 2022 without MonsterZero. Of the films we watched- some were good, some were bad, some challenged the way we think, and one even made us question whether or not we care for hunky boys. So grab your monocle, dial back your IQ, and strap on for the world’s most dangerous year end show!
