In the second episode for January, the Going Through Ghibli group discusses Castle in the Sky and how it still measures well against the animation of today while being able to convey an interesting (and humorous) story. 

Going Through Ghibli: Castle in the Sky

This is the first of two episodes per month focusing on the works of Studio Ghibli. Join us as we go through the entire Ghibli catalog across 2023 starting with Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. 

Going Through Ghibli: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

Chris and Kev are back at it discussing how amazing The Last of Us is on HBO, how a poor trailer and film title is attempting to bury a solid Gerard Butler flick, and Kev has already found his worst film of 2022 and it's still JANUARY! Finally, the duo rounds out this episode by breaking down the year that was 2022 using the alphabet. 

CwoC Ep.148: TLOU, Kev’s Worst Movie of 2023, and the ABCs of 2022

This is the one that Kev and Chris have been waiting for, the episode where they are able to finally reveal their Top 10 Films of 2022. But first, they must give credit to those who made THE HALL OF VERY GOOD - those films on the outside of the Top 10 that are looking in. Also, Chris goes the extra mile by also dropping his Top 10 TV Watches of 2022 as well before both of the hosts spin forward to what excites them in 2023.

CwoC Top Films of 2022 (and TV too)

Kevin and Chris are finally back and ready for a new year full of potential when it comes to film, tv, and streaming! But first, the duo discusses what they were able to tackle over the break and stuff they have still yet to get to.

In the next to last episode, Devin decides to go rogue and chooses a film NOT ON THE LIST as she was not satisfied with any of the preselected Christmas movies.

Devin's Choice: Love Hard
Chris' Choice: Christmas Evil

The New 52: Week 51 - A Christmas Movie

With the last CwoC podcast episode of 2022, Chris and Kevin discuss Avatar: The Way of Water, some last-minute 2022 watches before the year is over, and most importantly, some Christmas movies to get us in the spirit before we look ahead to 2023!
See you next year!

They can't all be winners, but they can still be fun!
Chris and Devin dig into their childhood to find a video game movie adaptation and see if it lives up to the hype. Sadly, from the list, they were given this wasn't possible and so they were left to choose lesser celebrated titles.

Chris' Choice: Twin Dragons (1992)

The New 52: Week 49 - One Actor, Multiple Roles

With a strange category this late in the year, Devin and Chris decide to do their best with the list that has been given to them. Devin takes a clever shortcut for her "movie" and Chris jumps back into spooky season with his selection.
