## Resource

It's our annual show, every July 4th, when we look back at the best movies of the first half of the year. Grierson gives his six best, and Leitch does as well. And enjoy America's 250th birthday, we guess! Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter or Bluesky, or griersonleitch@gmail.com.
