Bonus: A Look Back at 2023

Holy Moly! It’s been a minute!
We’re back after a long hiatus to have a long, winding chat about a bunch of our favourite films from 2023.
Chris & Lee discuss huge blockbusters (Barbenheimer included), smaller festival films, and some hidden gems that they really dug. They also give a bit of an update on the state of the podcast (we’re not gone, we’re just busy!).
The discussion is rather spoiler filled, so we’ve included timecodes below, so please if you want to avoid any spoilers please skip ahead.
