Summary
Dave and Alonso are joined by Justin Chang (LA Times), Manohla Dargis (NY Times), and Peter Debruge (Variety) to look back on the year that was so very 2020. (Robert Abele was otherwise engaged but will guest very soon.) We talk about how streaming changed the movies in general as well the way that critics see film.
