Better late than never! We finally got together to discuss our top ten movies of 2021, and there will definitely be some surprises!

It's that time again, where Paul pulls out a shocking prediction about the Oscars that usually comes true! We go through all of the big categories and give who we think will win and who we would vote for.

It took us long enough to get to this movie! Joachim Trier's film has a little bit for everybody (but may not be for everybody). Josh loves the structure of the storytelling and Paul calls it "the most mature coming of age film I've ever seen". Enjoy!

This week we talk about the new caped crusader film. We get into how it parallels Iron Man, how superb the score is and why Batman will never be a passenger in a car.

In our quest to feverishly try to watch all of the Oscar-nominated films, we talk about West Side Story, Nightmare Alley, Belfast, Spencer, Drive My Car and more!

Paul Thomas Anderson looks back at the 70's with his own kind of lens and brings along a bunch of non-actors with him. We talk about the music, running dolly shots and the obstacles that PTA likes to put in his own way.

Jane Campion's new film doesn't want to be put in a box. This week we analyze her tight but expressive writing, the superb acting, the arresting score and the beautiful cinematography of The Power of the Dog. Follow us on Twitter: @actorengineer

We talk about what we have been watching over the last few weeks: The Diary of Anne Frank (1:17), The Tragedy of Macbeth (4:10), The Souvenir Part 1 (29:01), Mass (45:22), CODA (59:32) and BAFTA Noms and Oscar Predictions (52:48).

We finally swing into the fray with our takes on the one and many Spider-man and his sinister foes. And we somehow also talk a little about DC (Eagly is hugging me! Dad get a picture!) Follow us on Twitter: @actorengineer

This week we talk about Maggie Gyllenhaal's writing/directing debut, The Lost Daughter. We get into how she writes for her characters, the amazing performances by all three leads and try to reconcile the feeling of the movie versus the substance of the movie. Follow us on twitter @actorengineer
