The Daniels read 1-star and 5-star Letterboxd reviews! Jenny Slate, S.S. Rajamouli, Johnny Knoxville, Charlotte Wells and more Year in Review chart-toppers phone in with their thanks to the Letterboxd community! Hosts Mia, Brian and Gemma stare googly-eyed into the bagel to investigate the highest rated films of the past year. This supersized episode also sees Jack’s Facts joining for a deep dive into the themes of the winning films (he’s seen most of them!), and Slim and Mitchell sneak in the back door for the after party, where we find out who they’d love to watch peeling potatoes for three hours. It’s a truly global celebration of films and fanny-packs.
