204. CHRISTMAS & Cats & Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker

It's the Film Chat Christmas Special, as we reflect on the year gone by accompanied by messages from our listeners, some seasonal sound effects, and surreptitiously munched mince pies. We offer our own top 10, or top 7 or so in Sam's case since he didn't see enough good films to fill out the list. We also dip our toe into looking back on the whole decade but Sam chickens out of that challenge entirely.Plus, of course, we review the two big holiday releases: the once-in-a-lifetime mindfuck that is Tom Hooper's Cats, and the simultaneously frantic and cautious climax to the Star Wars saga, The Rise of Skywalker.Merry Christmas everyone! It's 12 days long and we're not even at New Year yet so you must accept it's still Christmas! Listen to this episode while it's still festive! Listen now! Hosted on Acast.
