## Resource

It is a new season and here we go! Every year we welcome a guest or two to talk about the 5 most memorable film discoveries of the last 12 months. This year we have Ryan Gowland (we gave Lindsay a break as she had just recorded one as well.) Ryan always brings interesting picks and Dirk does what he always does. We hope that you find something enjoyable here because either way we both probably now own 5-6 more dvds and blu-rays.
