With our notorious 32-movie bracket to decide the best movie of the year on deck, Av, John and Sammy cut a swathe through December’s many new releases, starting with Spiderman: No Way Home (11:20) and The Worst Person in the World (18:00). The only movie we spoil in this episode is Spiderman.


Then we let loose with Matrix 4 (27:40), Flee (35:40), The Power of the Dog (39:25), Nightmare Alley (41:30), Mass (41:40), The Lost Daughter (45:30), Drive My Car (47:20), Being the Ricardos (49:45), Red Rocket (52:45), The Novice (55:50), Quo Vadis Aida (56:00), C’mon C’mon (56:40), The Beta Test (57:15), Benedetta (58:35), Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn (59:00). And a few we advise skipping: Petit Maman, What Do We See When We Look at the Sky (1:00:25), Don’t Look Up (1:00:35).


Classics Corner (1:00:50): Nightmare Alley (1947) and It’s a Wonderful Life (1946).
