The Best Movie on Letterboxd is HBO's "I May Destroy You"
On this week's episode, Ben, Libby, and Leo look into the curious case of Letterboxd, a site built by and for cinephiles to catalog the films they love and share reviews with like-minded peers, where television is increasingly dominating the highest rated spots on its charts. Among the best films of 2020 are HBO's "I May Destroy You," Netflix's "The Queen's Gambit," and Hulu's "Normal People," joined by other miscellany such as SBNation's "The History of The Seattle Mariners" or Disney+'s Taylor Swift special, "Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions." Before that, Libby and Ben discuss Denis Villeneuve's scathing open letter to Warner Bros. in light of the decision to port over all of its 2021 film slate to HBO Max. Additionally, Libby talks about the dangerous precedent Apple TV+ set in kowtowing to CEO Tim Cook's whims in cancelling the Gawker-inspired show from Watchmen scribe Cord Jefferson, and Ben bemoans the next 4 years of Marvel and Star Wars content Disney promised would be coming to Disney+ at last week's Investor Day.
