Jon and Pierce talk about several of their favorite movies from the very strong year that was 2023. We recorded this before the Oscar nominations came out, so feel free to chuckle at our certainty that Charles Melton and Greta Lee would surely be on the list.

Jon and JR talk about some of their favorite movies and TV shows from the first seven months of 2023. Jon's voice gets shaky while talking about Belgian weepie Close, JR laments life imitating art in The Other Two, and Jon's (pretty) sure that his ego isn't as fragile as the characters in You Hurt My Feelings.
 Despite both agreeing that 2022 wasn't the best year for film, Jon and Pierce go very long on six movies they loved, plus two TV shows. Jon includes not one but two of his trademark body horror recommendations. Stick around til the end to hear about Pierce's tragic breakup with the AMC North Dekalb theater.
 Jon, Pierce, and JR break down the long-awaited 2022 update of the Sight and Sound list of greatest movies of all time. They look at the movies the critics included compared to the directors, put new number one Jeanne Dielmann on their watchlists, and wonder what any of this is actually for.
 Jon, Pierce, and Shane talk about some of their favorite things from the first half of 2022, whether that be books, movies, TV shows, or video games. Jon comes up with an all-time segue that he's still super-proud of, Shane mixes up his Skarsgards with his Sarsgaards, and an argument breaks out on if backal is the opposite of frontal.
 Jon, Pierce, and JR are overwhelmed with the amount of great TV currently on the air and had to get together to throw out a dozen shows worth watching. Jon raves about The Dropout, JR's knocking out seasons of Better Call Saul over the course of a long evening, and Pierce is itching to get started on Tokyo Vice.
 Jon, Shane, and Pierce praise and lament some of the best and worst of what's been a pretty great year for movies. Space Jam: Legacy, with its cameos for dystopian English rapists, gets mentioned, but you'll have to listen to find out if it was in the Best or Worst category.
 Jon, Pierce, Drew, and JR discuss some notable 2019 releases, including Parasite, Uncut Gems, and 1917. We're sorry to say that this episode is only half-edited, as there was an issue with the saved file and Jon just can't be bothered to reinvest an hour of time into editing. This is how he wins.
 Jon sits down with Pierce and Shane to go over his top 100 films of the 2010's. He has to defend a relatively high placement of The Avengers, gets personal with Spotlight, and a trend of dead kid plot points is noticed. What's that about? https://www.mediocremovie.club/side-pieces/best-of-the-2010s-part-v
 Shane goes over his top 25 of the decade with Jon and Pierce, while also getting in a brag about his lucid dreaming ability. We spend a good chunk of the episode praising the Lonely Island, and Jon's pretty upset with himself for not remembering an Indonesian war criminal's name.
