The Breakdown of the Best Movies of 2021

2022 is finally here, but before we can officially kick 2021 out the door, we need to look back at it one last time. We do that with the biggest episode of the year in 'The Breakdown of the Best Movies of 2021'. Both Scott Martin and Christopher Spicer rank their top ten movies of the past year. It may not have been our favourite year or even what we considered an amazing movie year, but there were still many movies that we considered future classics. It is a great episode for those looking for movie recommendations, but also just want to find out what we loved this year. As always, we had a blast recording this episode, and if you love listening to it, then please support us by spreading the word on social media, so other movie fans can find us. Also don't forget we are on Spreaker , Spotify, Stitcher , Apple Podcast , Google Podcasts , CastBox , Amazon Music and wherever else you love to listen to your podcasts.

Most mornings consist of reassuring Danika that 'yes, this is the only cereal we have', making about five visits to Everett's room to try to get him out of bed, negotiate what should be going into the lunches, noticing my voice getting more irritated with each command about getting on coats and mitts and snowpants and such, then being told more than I ever thought I needed in regards to Pokemon or the drama of recess or the finer points of L.O.L. Dolls, and finally, putting on the kids' masks as I wish them an amazing day and letting them know that I love them. This morning had a lot of that too. All off those things will just sink into regular routine folder to never
