Our Favorite Movies of 2020 – The Greg And Matt Movie Chat

The closure of movie theaters has been hard on movie fans like us, and although some films were able to find a new home on streaming services like Amazon Prime Video and Netflix, many anticipated films were and continue to be pushed back.  However, while 2020 felt relatively small in the movie scene and theaters remain empty, critics and audiences have been able to see more unknown films that may have otherwise been overshadowed by big-budget blockbusters.  And, as this is meant to be a podcast that aims to inform viewers and ourselves about films that constantly fly under the radar, this is a great opportunity to talk about movies that were, thankfully, not forgotten.  So, today we're counting down our top 10 favorite films of 2020.
