Best of 2023: Film
2023 was a newsworthy year for film. After three years of pandemic-induced cratering, the box office came roaring back thanks in part to the marketing and artistic triumph that was Barbenheimer. The year saw a slew of notable releases from directing legends and bold new voices that will make it one of the most competitive Oscar seasons in years. And after grueling months-long strikes, both the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA won major concessions from the studios, a good step for creators in the film industry going into the future. There was clearly lots to celebrate when it came to movies this year. So join us as Great Pop Culture Debate panelists Brendan Hay, Eric Rezsnyak, Karissa Kloss, and Kevin Dillon share their favorite movies, as the Great Pop Culture Debate presents the Best Films of 2023! Movies discussed include A Thousand and One, Bottoms, All of Us Strangers, You Hurt My Feelings, Saltburn, Killers of the Flower Moon, Asteroid City, May December, and more!
