There’s something really tricky about top 10 lists. When you don’t have a list at all, when you just have to name a movie your favorite of the year, it’s actually not that bad. It seems like it would be, but usually there’s just one movie that you truly, truly want to stand up for. And top fives, well, top fives are great. Again, it’s never too hard to choose five movies that you think are especially worth noting. But a top 10, that’s hard. There’s something so damning about not making your top 10, so finite about that cutoff. And worse, when it gets to the back few spots, it’s almost always the case that the movie you would put at something like number 14 could just as easily have been your seven. It’s really hard, especially if you’re trying to be funny and a little insightful along the way. Let us show you just how difficult it is on this week’s podcast.
