Fifteen years ago, did movies suck or rule? That’s the question we’re answering on this week’s episode of The B-Movies Podcast, where William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold each present their picks for the best films of 2001. One of our critics champions the most popular and successful films of 2001, while the other speaks out in favor of the year’s strangest and most depressing features. Which one is which? (Oh, you can probably guess already.)
Also in this week’s episode, Bibbs and Witney review the new releases Everybody Wants Some!! and God’s Not Dead 2, and delve into a deeper discussion of the faith-based questions raised by the latest wave of Christian cinema.
