2023 End Of Year Show
29 december 2023 · 1 uur 34 min
As a thank you to all of our listeners and as a way to talk about the year in movies, we thought we would do a run-down show of our favourite 2023 movies. Lees meer
We sat down after some day drinking at the pub to have a chat about 2023 films and to list our separate top 5 films of the year. We then thought it was a good idea to try and come up with a combined list in a way that is definitely not copying another podcast.
We also get some top 5's and movie highlights from our friends and listeners. Thanks to those guys for sending in their thoughts and we recommend checking out their podcasts too:
