EPISODE 15 - “Old Movies For A New Year” - 12/25/2023

There’s something about New Year’s Eve and assessing the past year that is bittersweet, yet cathartic. It’s a time of self-evaluation, introspection, and assessment. In case you’re looking for the perfect film to match the myriad of emotions you may be feeling as you reflect, regret, or seek revenge in anticipation of the new year ahead, we’ve got four that should get you in the mood for 2024. And NEVER forget…There’s GOT to be a morning after!
