The Best Discoveries In 2022
Welcome to the final top ten show of our season; marking the end of 2022 officially with a strange list. This show, we rank our favorite things we experienced over the year, but that didn’t come out as a new release in 2022. It is what we discovered. With that, the lists can be anything like movies, TV shows, books, albums, art pieces, etc. Did you have a good year? What did you experience?

The Best Discoveries In 2020
This countdown marks our last before a month-long break. Discoveries is a ranking that discusses the best material we consumed in 2020 that didn’t come out in 2020. It’s our additional way to highlight other things, the finer things, in entertainment. It isn’t just films; it’s television, albums, authors, personal life events, video games and everything in between. These lists are always personal and give a small glimpse into our worlds.

The Best Discoveries In 2017
What do we mean when we say discoveries? It’s a top ten list unlike other end-of-year lists that many podcasters and critics make. It means that pieces of media or art discovered that DID NOT come out in 2017 have a chance of making this top ten. It’s a good way to illuminate movies or books or a song that has ben lost to more contemporary items.

Top 10 Discoveries In 2016
This final Best Of list for 2016. We promise. This time, it’s an original top ten list. We cover ground on any type of art (music, comics, movies, painters etc.) that we discovered of the past year. The twist is that the piece of art or artist must be from any year previous to 2016; that way, we won’t focus on only current events and opens up a way to talk about great stuff from history. We do hope you enjoy this Top Ten opus of ours.

The Best 5 Games of 2016
Our first Best Of list for 2016, ringing in the new year! I know, I know. What is a film podcast doing with games? Well, as we look to end 2016 once and for all, we understand that all mediums of entertainment and artistic vision should be appreciated in some form. We bring a guest host to not only cover Luke’s temporary absence, but someone who has a different gaming taste than Ralf and Oscar. Hope you enjoy this and three other special Best Of treats throughout January.
