Hi there.

We’ve got a short Aerial Shot newsletter this week (at least when it comes to writing) as there’s a 90-minute-ish podcast you can listen to. It’s just a bunch of guys talkin’ movies. The first podcast to accomplish such a task. It’s a bit of a mess, but what else would you expect?

If you don’t want to listen or you’ve already listened (thank you) and want to check out some of the films, here are our Top Fives.

Also, since I’m insane, I went through and ranked every new release I saw from 2022 and wrote about each one.
