096. The Best Movies of 2024, According to Deep Cut

Deep Cut: A Film Podcast

Do you know how much of A Real Pain it is to keep the years straight with us straddling three different global release windows? We do!

We got Caught by the Tides and are a little late with this one but nevertheless, join our Conclave for the fifth (!) time as we huddle around the Ghostlight to talk about the films of the last year! We cover award-winning films (Anora, The Brutalist, No Other Land), notable blockbusters (Dune: Part Two, Wicked), blitz through some honorable Challengers to our top picks, and then Look Back on our personal top fives.

You know podcast favorite Luca Guadagnino is going to feature in Wilson’s favorite films… but how Queer will it be??

If you’re A Different Man, you’ll have different faves, so enter our Red Rooms and tell us your favorite 2024 films on our FREE patreon, discord server, and our socials @ www.deepcutpod.com
