Landon Defever and I discuss the movies we enjoyed most from 2021! Including: our least favorite films, Best Picture nominees, our top 20 films of 2021 and more!
I’ve seen around 100 movies that came out in 2021, only films I was interested in (as I don’t have time or the money to see everything). These are MY favorite films of 2021 (and Landon's). We don't have to agree, but I encourage thoughtful discussion. These films all received their theatrical release in the United States in 2021. They may have received different releases elsewhere.
Hopefully you check out something you haven't seen before! Let me know your favorites!

James Edgett, Zac Hess, & Kory Schrauben competed in Part 1 to choose a film while I moderated, with 'Babel' (2006) ultimately being chosen to discuss by our winner, James. In Part 2, our runner-up, Kory, picked 'Children of Men' (2006) to discuss as we thought it would be fun to watch and discuss some of the other films they hadn't seen. In part 3, Zac chose 'There Will Be Blood' (2007) for us to watch as no one (except me) had seen it!
