2024 In Review Part 1: The Best Movies of the Year, Plus Javier Bardem

Richard Rushfield joins Katey to look back at the year in film, which Richard thinks is one of the worst in the history of studio filmmaking — if not the worst — but still scrounged up enough titles to get excited about. The episode also includes Katey's conversation with Javier Bardem about his chilling performance on the limited series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story — and his surprisingly moving motivation for taking on a very different kind of character in a recent, criminally underseen children's film.
