Chris is joined by Chloe and Sam Howard to discuss the 3rd entry in the Going through Ghibli series, Grave of the Fireflies, as we conclude the second month of 2023. 

Grave of the Fireflies marks a very different approach from the animation studio that focuses on delivering a powerful message through the eyes of children during the last days of WWII. Needless to say, the group was easily able to find a lot to break down as they try to make it through this episode without tearing up.

Devin and Chris resume where they left off in 2022 with the remaining Olsen Twin films. In this episode, the duo discusses the 1994 gem, How the West Was Fun, which easily features one of the best Olsen Twins villains in their filmography.

Chris and Kevin return excited to talk about what they’ve been able to watch since they’ve been away. The duo covers the recent release of Ant-Man: Quantumania and the future hope of Phase 5, Harley Quinn’s animated V-Day special, both a modernized rom-com featuring Ashton Kutcher/Reese Witherspoon, and a docu-series following PGA golfers from Netflix, and MUCH MORE!

Kev is back from his cruise and ready to host a chock-full episode! Join Kev and Chris as they discuss Knock at the Cabin, Infinity Pool, 80 for Brady, You People, TLOU, their Oscar thoughts, DC’s BIG announcement, and much more!

In the second episode for January, the Going Through Ghibli group discusses Castle in the Sky and how it still measures well against the animation of today while being able to convey an interesting (and humorous) story.

This is the first of two episodes per month focusing on the works of Studio Ghibli. Join us as we go through the entire Ghibli catalog across 2023 starting with Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.

Chris and Kev are back at it discussing how amazing The Last of Us is on HBO, how a poor trailer and film title is attempting to bury a solid Gerard Butler flick, and Kev has already found his worst film of 2022 and it’s still JANUARY! Finally, the duo rounds out this episode by breaking down the year that was 2022 using the alphabet.

This is the one that Kev and Chris have been waiting for, the episode where they are able to finally reveal their Top 10 Films of 2022. But first, they must give credit to those who made THE HALL OF VERY GOOD - those films on the outside of the Top 10 that are looking in. Also, Chris goes the extra mile by also dropping his Top 10 TV Watches of 2022 as well before both of the hosts spin forward to what excites them in 2023.

Kevin and Chris are finally back and ready for a new year full of potential when it comes to film, tv, and streaming! But first, the duo discusses what they were able to tackle over the break and stuff they have still yet to get to.

Chris and Devin come together for the last time in this challenge to discuss a 2022 film release that they’ve been able to watch. Also, the duo reflects on some of their finer moments from the past year and recommends several watches for the other to accomplish in 2023. 

Chris’ Choice: RRR

Devin’s Choice: Violent Night
