This past year was full of dramatic ups and downs for the world of movies. A handful of massive blockbusters that had been held back due to the pandemic finally made their debut, some surprising international breakthroughs did well in theaters and on streaming, and at least a few indie movies connected with mainstream audiences and racked up some big box office numbers.
Long time entertainment reporter, and currently the editor at the Sioux City Journal, Bruce Miller, is joined by co-host Chris Lay and extra special guest Jared McNett, to wrap up their year-end collection of episodes with a conversation about the absolute very best films of the year.
