The Special Topics in Media Film Listology season reveals a number of contemporary classics just in time for the holiday season. No, these films don't necessarily rock around the Christmas tree. But they do rock, and in some cases, heads will roll. Hosts Garret and Scott announce and respond to the latest output from the McMurry SuperIndex, the #95-91 entrants to the amalgamated film ranking system. This batch once again provides genre diversification in need of culturally significant rating. What films emerged In the MSI #95-91 poll position? Have a listen and let our hosts know what cultural significance factor you would apply to each of these film features.
