EPISODE 431: 2024 Year in Review

Who Goes There Podcast

Well, here it is, the 2024 Retrospective, where we each give our Top 5 Favorite and Top 5 Worst genre films of the year that was 2024. We also have quite a few honorable mentions and runners up this year. This is always a blast for us.
When all was said and done all three of us were in general agreement with a great many others that 2024 was a great year for the horror genre particularly.
For fun, here were each of our Top 5 Favorite and Worst genre films the previous year, 2023: (as a reminder all three of us loved Godzilla Minus One, but only Jorge counted it in his Top 5 as a specific horror genre film)
