No power on this Earth or below can save you from the horror of LISTMAKING!

That's right, it's the end of our second full year of podcasting and we've come to rank everything from October to October on our big list of all the movies we've watched for this show. Listen to us praise the greats, rail against the horrible, and beg and bargain with each other to place these films where we think they belong. Why do we do this? It's...hard to say actually. It jus seemed like the thing to do if I'm honest. This way you can hit the highlights or if you're in a mood for a stinker, we've got a few of those too!
