There’s still two weeks left to make things right this year before 2016 comes barreling in. However, since I’ve screened all remaining December releases (with the exception of The Hateful Eight, which hasn’t really been showing up on anyone’s list), it’s time for our first-ever The Binge Movie Podcast year in review! Below, listen to me sputter inarticulately about my love for the following beautiful amazing instant-classics:
10. Spy [read my original review]
9. TIE: Room [listen to our original review] / Mustang
8. Chi-Raq
7. Creed [listen to our original review]
6. Spotlight [listen to our original review]
5. Brooklyn [listen to our original review]
4. Dope
3. Tangerine [read my interview with writer/director Sean Baker]
2. The Diary of a Teenage Girl
1. Mad Max: Fury Road [read my original review]
You can also hear Rebecca and me discuss my bottom five, selected not so much for their inept awfulness (too easy), but for their botched potential and/or reinforcement of shitty archaic conventions.
