We're kicking off 2021 by dissecting The Blockbuster - those infamous movies that make all the money and suck all the life out of the art form. Or do they?

Joined by guest Craig Leman, we look at the history, validity, and future of blockbusters. We tackle The MCU and Disney in general, James Cameron, Jaws, Star Wars, and so much more.

2020 is over and we watched so many movies! In this episode we discuss our top 10 new-to-us films of 2020 (rather than focusing solely on 2020 releases), as well as our least favorite discoveries...and a few honorable mentions of course (who can keep a "Top 10" list to JUST 10 films??)

Thanks so much to everyone who tuned in in 2020. Happy New Year!
