Summary

We’re kicking off 2022 by setting aside our usual format for a look back at 2021 in film, via that tried and true structure, the Top 10 list. Keith, Scott, and Tasha have each come to this two-part episode bearing their individual top 10 lists, as well as broader thoughts on a year in which established moviegoing models seem to be shifting more rapidly than ever. This week covers the films at the 10 through 6 slots on their lists, as well as an abbreviated discussion of the film that’s number one on the list of films we wish we could have covered on the main show. If you have thoughts you’d like to share on our picks, your picks, or anything else about the past year in film, you can send an email to [email protected] or leave a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

1:12.0	Genevieve is taking a little end of year breather as we dive into our top 10 films, well, at least the first half of our top 10 films of 2021. As a TV editor at Vulture, she does not have as much time to watch films as
1:18.9	she would like to because she's watching TV. And, you know, when I sat down to evaluate my top
1:23.7	10 of the year, guys, I felt like I was a little bit in the same boat. I watched more TV
1:28.8	this year than I have in a really long time, mostly because of my job, but in part because
1:36.2	it was just such a strange year for cinema. We saw more than ever movies debuting in theaters,
1:43.2	but maybe they would also hit a streaming platform
1:46.4	at the same time, or a week later. Or in Netflix's case, they would hit two theaters on two
