You know the drill... 10 best films, albums and tracks of the year.
I've continued to struggle with listening as much music as I did in the past, which makes me feel like I'm putting up a strong list given what is out there. Don't get me wrong, still excellent music, but I have a massive backlog of stuff to listen to.
In regards to movies, not the strongest year, but some standout ones on that list - including Sing Sing (which was my favorite film of the year and one of the top movies I've seen in the last decade) and The Wild Robot. Looking forward to seeing at the start of the year films like The Brutalist, Nickel Boys, Nosferatu and A Real Pain.
There's sort of a structure with the order, but whereas with the movies feels very final, the others could change at any day.
