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.

Time to Admit That I May Have Been Wrong About 'Malignant': The Joy of Changing Opinions on Movies

I'm starting to think that I was wrong about James Wan's latest horror picture, Malignant . The picture received a star and half out of four from me. I went in with high anticipation and walked out disappointed. I understood that Wan was creating a homage and love letter to 1980s style schlock horror like Re-Animator , Basket Case and Dead Alive. Those style of movies were about being creative within their minimal budget that afforded then some insane creative freedom.

The Breakdown Ranks Time Loop Movies

Way back in 1993, there was no way of knowing that Groundhog Day would turn out to be one of the most influential movies. Its formula has been repeated by multiple movies in multiple genres. We actually reviewed ten different movies on the podcast that followed this formula including the classic Groundhog Day . We call them time loop movies because it is about at least one character that is stuck in a day that continues to repeat over and over. One day we asked ourselves what are the best of this little subgenre? How would we rank each of these movies? This week we do exactly that as both Scott and I present our ranking of the ten major time loop movies that we've reviewed in past episodes. It is a bit of a different episode, but we still had a blast revisiting these pictures. As always, we had a great time recording this show and we really hope you love it. If you do, please help us out by spreading the word on social media, so other movie fans can find us. Reminder that you can
