85 – A Monster Calls and The Worst of 2016

We review A Monster Calls and run down the worst movies of 2016. A Monster Calls is amazing, heartfelt, and beautiful. . . and horribly marketed and rolled out to critics and audiences. Everyone loves it, but it’s buried in January and most critics didn’t get to see it until awards ballots were already sent out. What a shame, because it’s amazing. 9/10 from both of us.
