We finally have gotten around to our favorite films of 2022! We each count down our favorites and sprinkle some honorable mentions in there. Paul also talks about finishing up his run of performances in Richmond! Watch us on YouTube Here.
We go through the big categories for the big night and pick who we would vote for and who we each think will win.
We catch up with Scott Lang and his family mostly in the quantum realm and get to see Jonathan Majors once again as Kang. Then we sprinkle on a bit of our perceptions of Cocaine Bear. Watch us on YouTube Here
This episode we focus on Sarah Polley's new film focusing on the the importance of being heard. We get into why this needed to be a film instead of a play, how the cinematography and shot selection contributed to the narrative and which scene should have gotten Jessie Buckley an Oscar nod.
This week we are finally getting to two spectacle movies that definitely benefit from being seen in the theater. Babylon is uncompromising and ambitious and Top Gun: Maverick lived up to the hype, in spite of its seemingly "lazy" concept. The movies are back! (fingers crossed)
We are back with a quick cuts episode of what we have been watching. How many of these will get Oscar noms?

We say "yep" to Jordan Peele's newest film shot in IMAX and starring Keke Palmer and Daniel Kaluuya. We get into the editing, others perceived pacing issues and Spielberg's influence on Peele. Enjoy!
We talk about the role David Bowie was born to play (alien), bad overdubbing, Nicolas Roeg's editing style, a younger (but still somehow old) Rip Torn and differ on Candy Clark's performance as the love interest/bad influence.
God of Thunder, meet God Butcher. We talk about the narration as a storytelling device, the bold opening scene and a few other choices that Taika Waititi makes with his newest entry in the MCU.
We have more questions than answers about Alex Garland's original screenplay. We also talk a little about Top Gun: Maverick and Crimes of the Future. Enjoy!

How much can one writer/director duo fit into one film? We find out when we talk about the new action/sci-fi/family comedy-drama starring Michelle Yeoh from the minds of The Daniels. Get your chapstick ready.
Better late than never! We finally got together to discuss our top ten movies of 2021, and there will definitely be some surprises!
