## Resource

This week, we deliver the second dose of D — another 16-disc showdown packed with daring picks, dazzling classics, dark horses, and a few decisions that may genuinely derail our credibility. It’s double the debate, double the doubt, and definitely a descent into chaos as we attempt to determine which film deserves a duel with the reigning champion. Expect disagreements. Expect defensiveness. Expect declarations that will age disastrously. Because when the stakes are this high and the D list is this deep, every decision feels dangerous. Will a deserving darling rise? Will an underdog deliver? Or will we completely detonate the bracket with one dodgy decision? One thing’s for certain: by the end of this episode, the final duel will be decided. Are there any films you think we missed in our list of D films? Any ones you want to see included in future letters? We want to know!
