Send us a text or a voicemail

It’s difficult to find much good in 2020, but despite all that was thrown at us we managed to survive, and in some cases thrive by maintaining the show’s weekly schedule. Of course we also got into lots of pointless arguments, had some great interactions with our listeners/friends and watched some pretty decent flicks! Not too shabby for such a terrible year. Out of the 61 films we watched for film discussions this year, we each managed to whittle it down to our individual Top 13. On the 2020 Year End Special, we present our lists and as is an annual tradition we tally up the points and find out which film tops the list this year-- it might just shock you! So grab your handheld camera to document everything, lock up your most precious valuables, and strap on for the world’s most dangerous podcast!
