2020 in Review, Part II

Franchise installments and Oscar hopefuls were nowhere to be found for most of 2020, and that left a ton of time to catch up on all those films we'd been putting off. In the second half of our 2020 retrospective, we skim the cream of the crop from our non-2020 film diaries to breakdown everything we caught up with. From our favorite classics, modern classics, and rewatches, to which actors and filmmakers from yesteryear we fell in love with while we were living in our quarantine bubbles, we share the many silver linings we encountered along the way that helped make 2020 just a tad more bearable.  Don’t forget to follow the show @CinemaJoes on Twitter and follow our hosts around the web at the following places!
