Many delays, cross-country trips, and lifestyle changes later, I Just Don't See the Big Deal is back! To kick off the next round of episodes, the boys decided to do an epic discussion involving the best and their favorite films of 2017. There's an inevitable conversation about the nature of Hollywood given how great von Sternberg thought Annihilation--the first big flop of the year--was for sci-fi cinema and even cinema itself. Burgess covers the Oscars and the boys hee and haw about the wins and snubs. There's a good conversation to be had here.
