2020 was a tough year. Having to stay indoors could make us all go stir crazy. So we are happy to leave this year behind. We wanted to do a “Top 10 Films of 2020” but because of COVID, we didn’t get to see too many voices that came out this year. So Hayley and I wanted to celebrate the media we did consume this year while we were stuck indoors.
