Our Top Films of 2022 + Academy Awards 2023 Discussion

They say that the early bird gets the worm, and in this case we'd be completely wormless (???) - because we're giving both of our lists for what we think are the best films of 2022! We had recorded a year-in review in December, but audio issues caused us to scrap the episode completely; so we thought that with the 95th Academy Awards upon us it's appropriate to return to this conversation. Speaking of the 2022 Oscars, we talked about them! Except we're recording our predictions the night before it aired - so this episode is being released almost a week after it already happened. In retrospect this is the best year for the Oscars in the last several years, and it truly feels like movies are back. In terms of predictions - how right were we? The 2022 films we discuss are - Avatar: The Way of Water, The Banshees of Inisherin, Elvis, Triangle of Sadness, All Quiet on the Western Front, Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Menu, Top Gun: Maverick, The Northman, Bones and All, TÁR, The Fablemans, Women Talking, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, The Whale, and Babylon.
