It's time for one of our special shows of the year: Each of our six best films of the first of 2018. (Yes, the year is half over.) Think of it like half our annual Dorkfest. We have four films on both of our lists, a much-higher number than usual. See if you can guess which ones. We also get into sequel "Sicario: Day of the Soldado," which only Grierson had seen at taping time, and Debra Granik's new film "Leave No Trace." Learn more about your ad choices.

It's here! Just in time for the end of the year, it's our annual massive Dorkfest podcast, in which we reveal our best 10 movies of 2017. Grierson doesn't know Leitch's list; Leitch doesn't know Grierson's. They reveal their lists to each other, and you, live on the podcast. They've been doing this for more than 20 years. But now they tape it. We'll be back next week with our annual Mailbag show: Send your questions to griersonleitch@gmail.com. But for now: Just enjoy our favorite show of the year.

There are only three shows left in the 2017 movie season, ending with our annual Dorkfest 2017 wrapup of our top 10 films of the year. And we've got three biggies to dig into down the stretch. First, Steven Spielberg's stirring ode to journalism and democracy, "The Post," starring Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks. Then Daniel Day-Lewis' last performance (sure, Daniel) in Paul Thomas Anderson's "Phantom Thread." And we finish with Aaron Sorkin's poker drama "Molly's Game." Learn more about your ad choices.

It was quite the year, 2016, and now that it's (almost) over, it's time, at last, for our Top Ten Movies of 2016. This is the podcast version of Dorkfest, an annual discussion (and revealing) of both Will's and Tim's top-10 lists, which they've been doing since 1991. Though for the first time, you can listen. Our lists have a surprising amount of crossover, and far more than last year's. One thing we definitely agree on: It was a fantastic movie year. We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or griersonleitch@newrepublic.com. (We're doing a mailbag show after the new year, so send us questions.) As always, give us a review on iTunes with the name of a movie you'd like us to review, and we'll discuss it on a later podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
