This is a special episode because we aren’t just reviewing one movie, we are reviewing four movies. We’ve selected four films that stood out in 2024 that we did not get a chance to review on the main show, and bringing back the speed run format from 2022 to review each in short 15-20 minute sections. The four films we are covering are A Complete Unknown, A Different Man, Babygirl, and Queer.
