Quick Cuts Episode 009: 2022 Wrap Up Special

In this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, we usher 2022 to a close with a final look back over the year. First, we reflect a bit on the podcast itself and go over some of the things we learned and struggled with during the year as well as highlight some of our favorite moments and share just a few regrets. After that, we leave the best of 2022 top ten lists to the experts and instead go over some of our favorite film discoveries we made this year. That is, specifically, any movie that we watched this year for the first time regardless of its release date. Finally, we wrap up by laying down some plans and wishes for the new year.

This will be Michael’s last episode on the show for the foreseeable future. Please join us in wishing him all the best. We love you man and your contribution to the show will be sorely missed.

To everyone that has tuned in, left a comment, or even reached out with feedback thank you so much. We really appreciate it and it means the world to us. Here’s looking forward to 2023 and another year of exploring (and celebrating) the wide world of cinema.
