It's that time of year again... time for our Defender Awards! We celebrate the best in movies in 2024 and give out our own awards, Shields, to our picks just like the Oscars. Ours are just more fun. It's a long one so listen in chunks if you must and don't forget we have chapter headings to skip to your favs! Lots of clips, scenes, trailers, you name it. So strap in... let's head to the blue Movie Defenders carpet... and let's do The Defender Awards!
