Bored by the Oscars? In this episode of Notes From the Back Row, Jenna, Veronica and Carlo make up their own awards show and categories in order to award the movies that mattered.

Dan Gorman lists his favorite new-to-him films of 2018, including a whole lot of Robert Wiseman documentaries and live-action cartoon C.H.O.M.P.S.

To simply rattle off the movies I enjoyed, and the reasons why, would be too safe and too shallow. What follows is not a list of my favorite movies this year but rather an examination of one obvious, omnipresent theme: desperation.

In 2018 I watched 326 films, with around 41 of those being 2018 releases. Unfortunately, while I enjoyed many 2018 movies, very few stood out as outstanding to me.

You watch 700+ movies, what do you get? Another year older and closer to death.
Whoa, that got dark. Anyway… Yay movies!
