*Season 4 Premiere* This week on New Release … old fools Ashley, Derrick, and Drew look ahead to looking back at a life changing year for movies. 2003 perfectly encapsulates the beautiful mess that is early aughts cinema. We get to bounce between formative indies like Thirteen and Lost in Translation to the dramatic conclusions of both the Lord of the Rings and Matrix franchises. And who could forget that leg scene from Cabin Fever—or—“You’re my boy, Blue!”. Hold on, The Terminator is governor of California? Whatever, it’s time for New Release to flip high school the bird and go streaking back to college. If you think you have what it takes to join this unsanctioned fraternity for film lovers, then search ‘New Release’ on Spotify or Apple to subscribe. Believe me, 2003 is absolutely—without a doubt—going to be—the BEST YEAR EVER!
