On our first Off Mike Discussions episode of 2021, Mike S catches up with a ton of 2020 movies like FREAKY, SOUL, KAJILLIONAIRE, TESLA, and more, while Mike D rewatches a couple of old favorites. 

Since 2020 was a weird year for movies, we're structuring our end-of-the-year episode a little differently this time around. First, we'll count down our top 10 movies of the year, but mostly, we're talking about our favorite discoveries of 2020 - movies that we each watched for the first time and can't stop thinking about! Thanks to Kyle Cullen, Collin Stiles, Vin Craig, Nick Wermuth, Sam Harper,...

To celebrate what was once the release month of NO TIME TO DIE, and to honor the passing of the OG Bond, Mike and Mike are joined by Nick Wermuth to rank their top 5 favorite James Bond movies! And then, hopefully, we'll get to see that new one at some point, that'd be nice.
