They are all preceded by what may go down as the greatest advertisement of the year. We discuss all this and more on another incredible episode of the pod.

Don't go into your bracket blind, use the knowledge we provide in this episode to impress everyone at your office job. Yes, it may diminish your soul and joie de vivre, but if all your coworkers and your boss see you come out on top on this then it just might be worth it in the end. At the very least you may win a small cash prize that can cover the cost of commuting for a week or two.

Before we truly set foot into the Year of the Rabbit, we reveal to each other our ranked lists of the 10 best films we saw in 2022.

Either way, hopefully you can share in our passion or find a few new films to add to your watchlist.
