77: Top Films of 2018

Despite it being March, it is finally here! The top ten films of 2018 Contra Zoom mega episode! This episode has everything including a great co-host in Stephanie, four terrific guest spots and more films mentioned than you could imagine.

On this episode, four friends of the show were asked to send in a voice mail of what their favourite film from 2018 was.

• Sean Chin’s favourite film was the mountain climbing documentary Free Solo
• Scott Murdoch’s favourite film was the Sony animated feature Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse
• Curtis Sindrey’s favourite film was the darkly comedic Game Night
• Sammy Feilchenfeld’s favourite film was beautiful black and white Mexican film Roma
