Join James and Rich as they put a lens over the best and worst films through a single year of cinema. Each episode looks at a single year and reviews one critically loved and audience revered film; and then one... less loved piece of cinema history. In the journey, maybe we discover something poignant about life. Are we not all that different? Turns out, no, we are heaps different.
