    The Substance was movie of the year for me. Thank you Nick and Joseph for another year of entertainment! And despite Nick's disdain for when people use the word "iconic" liberally, I have to say that the two of you are, in my opinion at least, the most iconic duo on all of UA-cam. ❤

    Glad to see Smile 2 getting the recognition it deserves. It’s honestly a nearly perfect horror movie and it’s probably the most suspenseful movie of the year. Anora was elite too.

    Emilia Perez and Smile were also my top two favorite films this year!. Also, Nick mentioning "The Beast" reminded me of the funniest thing I've witnessed out of the hundreds of reviews I've watched on this channel was when Nick gave "The Beast" five stars, then Joseph proceeded to give it two stars 🤣 lmao the face Nick made when he heard Joseph's score felt as if Joseph had cheated on him with his worst enemy and then stabbed him in the chest, so heartbreaking! But also very funny! lol

    One of the things I love about you both, is that you are so empathetic and have such ease relating to female characters. Oftentimes when I see straight male reviewers, I walk away frustrated as they miss so much and can't put themselves in women's shoes and their stores. You two are incredibly in touch, it comes to you effortlessly, nothing goes over your head, you understand women so well 🫶

    But love Joseph's no 1. It will stay with me as an extremely original and humane film. And Joseph you have company, James Cameron picked it as his favorite too.

    Smile 2 Made the list how cool. I love Smile 2 so much. I was made a fan of a brand new actress and had my best In Theater experience in 2024.
    Substance was absolutely amazing. Maybe my favorite movie this year. You don't see new ideas like that as often as I would like. I also love the Woman directors Work now, I think her name is Coraline Fargeat. I watched her other Thriller and it was wonderful( name escapes me, maybe Vengeance or Revenge).
    I watched Emelia Perez expecting to be attracted to the Selena Gomez Character. When it was made clear that wasn't ever going to happen, I just couldn't get into it. I'd have to sit down and watch it around people who love it, to ever understand any enjoyment of that film.
    Interesting the Iranian Film made the list. I remember you speaking about it, and now I must see it.
    Lastly an Intermission in the Brutalist. Dear God in heaven, I must go....I love intermissions at plays, you go to the restroom, get a alcoholic beverage. Possibly mingle and discuss small details for but a moment. That's an amazing discovery to me. Even at home I feel Intermissions are very much appreciated, make a snack, or just walk around while listening to the good music...
    Onwards and Upwards.

      They never reviewed that one so I'm guessing they didn't see it. It was really good so I don't know why they wouldn't if they did.

    Ooooh the shade Joseph 😂😂 I ❤it! That ole bloated pic of TP! I check out the majority of the movies you guys review I would’ve never heard of before. It’s a tradition that we go to the movies on Christmas so checking out Nosferatu later. Happy Holidays 🎄🎁😊

      Too funny in regards to TP! 😅 I'll be checking out Nosferatu soon as well. Glad they loved Smile 2. It was OUTSTANDING! I think this has been a great year for horror! ❤
