Maybe even the opposite of splendiferous which I'm going to say is something like drinking a big puddle of dog water filled with napalm and used bandaids.
So we decided to have some fun with this one and instead of doing a simple best of list we mined the Preverts back catalogue and used the same format that we did for our best of the decade by organizing the episode around a series of unusual, but hopefully insightful categories including The Crypto-Fascist Award, Most Original Film, The Film That Made You Skip Pornhub and a bunch more.
To help us ensure that we didn't miss any hidden gems we also invited three of our favourite guests from past episodes, Omar Majeed, Tom Alexander and Raul Pinto to join us. With these three devoted cinephiles we ended up with a diverse and sprawling discussion on everything from Mank to Another Round to First Cow and a whole lot more.
