With our top ten films behind us, we move on and discuss which movies we think are Overrated or Appreciated. Then we hit on some of our favorite movie moments of the year that didn't quite make our top ten. And, much to Beau's chagrin, we talk Oscars.
We couldn't consolidate all our thoughts about the movies of 2019 into a single top ten list, so we've got one more episode of thoughts to get off our chests.
First, we cover several of the most talked-about movies of the year that didn't make our top tens in Overrated or Appreciated. So, if you are wondering where our Joker, The Irishman, and Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood talk is, it's here.
After that, we present our end-of-the-year awards for:
Favorite scene
Funniest moment
Best musical moment
Best opening
Best ending
Movie we were surprised we loved
Movie we were surprised we didn't connect with
Best child performance
We close with Oscars talk, covering the main categories and what we would change about them along with what we think will happen come Oscasr night on Sunday, February 9th.
