This week, we’re discussing our Best Movie Performances of 2017! Aging superheros, emotional teenagers and angry mothers are just a few of the characters that gave us memorable turns on the big screen. Find out who made our lists!

Episode notes

We have spent hours upon hours sitting in dark theaters watching some of the most talked about films of the year and are ready to share our final “Best of” list of 2017!

This year, we’re focusing on the performances that captivated us, made us laugh, cry and gave us all the feels.
