As we look towards the final hours of 2021 and hope beyond all logic that 2022 will bring forth nothing but good fortune for everyone around the world, it’s time to vent the last bit of frustration we have about the past 365 days in a new episode of The Playlist Podcast focusing on the Most Disappointing Films of the year.

As a sample of what you can expect, we discuss at least one Marvel Studios film (probably won’t be difficult to figure that one out), a couple of horror films, a Tom Holland film not called ‘Spider-Man,’ a prequel to a legendary TV show, a Taylor Sheridan bomb in a year where “Yellowstone” dominated TV, and much more.
But it’s not all exasperated film fans talking about bad movies. We also go over some of our favorites for the year to end the podcast on a high note and to hopefully keep our optimism high as we enter a new year.
