Year in Tiers 2023 - Disgusting Brothers
Finally, here we are at the mountain top of the absolute best of the best, gold medal, icons of industry, living legends. The Tom & Gregs of 2023 Movies, I give to you, the Disgusting Brothers: #7. The Holdovers Seasoned television writer David Hemingson, who's worked on everything from Black-ish to American Dad to Just Shoot Me to The Adventures of Pete and Pete, made his feature length debut with this endearing tale of 3 outcasts and their unlikely bond formed over having t

Year in Tiers 2023 - Tony Romo
Before any of you Tony Romo fanboys get your panties in a bunch, I'm of the opinion that if the Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hadn't waited until Tony's spine collapsed to give him some protection with a decent offensive line, Romo would have had a much different career. It's just that by the time Dallas stopped spending all of their resources on receivers and finally drafted some stellar lineman, the damage had already been done and Dak Prescott was there to swoop in and take th

Year in Tiers 2023 - Corn Flakes
As an adult, the instances where I find myself eating cereal are so few and far between that I can really only go for my absolute favorites when the opportunity presents itself. Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Apple Jacks. Golden Grahams. Fruity Pebbles. Frosted Flakes. I'd NEVER take regular ass Corn Flakes as my #1 pick in the Breakfast Cereal Draft. They're perfectly fine. You won't starve. But nobody's picking Corn Flakes over anything else. These are the perfectly fine, but not a

Year in Tiers 2023 - Sega Dreamcast
Even though it was a commercial failure and essentially lead to the collapse of Sega as a formidable rival to Nintendo and Sony in the console wars, the Dreamcast wasn't ALL bad. Crazy Taxi was dope. And the Dreamcast also gave us the birth of NBA2k, arguably one of the greatest sports video game franchises of all time. So that's why we've chosen to categorize these lackluster films, that aren't complete failures - but still kinda suck - in the Sega Dreamcast Tier. #80. Some

Year in Tiers 2023 - Gas Station Toilets
Welcome to the Bottom Tier in our 2023 Year in Tiers Recap - The Gas Station Toilets

Year in Tiers 2022 - Joey Chestnut
The final group in our 2022 Year in Tiers recap finds the absolute best of the best, industry standards we'll hold up for future generations to be measured against for years to come. These are the icons. The legends. Like 15 time Hot Dog Eating Champion and the renowned World Record holder for downing 76 hot dogs in 12 minutes - these are the indomitable, Joey Chestnuts of film. #6. Terrifier 2 Yet another instance of a sequel magnifying everything great about it's predecesso

Year in Tiers 2022 - Chris Paul
Simply based on regular season statistics, Chris Paul is one of the greatest point guards to ever play in the NBA. But he's never been the league MVP and his playoff record is stunningly dismal. Like this tier of movies, Chris Paul is great. But just a step down from the very best of the best. #35. White Noise Noah Baumbach is one of my favorite screenwriters working today and his latest film may be his most ambitious feature yet. Rather than the subdued, character driven ind

Year in Tiers 2022 - Jim Gaffigan
Our most densely populated tier in 2022 is a collection of perfectly average, moderately enjoyable, entirely serviceable content. Like take for instance, Jim Gaffigan. He's fine. He's nobody's favorite comedian but when it comes to stand-up, you can certainly do a lot worse. So enjoy this plentiful bounty of Jim Gaffigan level entertainment. #67. Devotion It's really hard being the OTHER film about fighter pilots in the year of Top Gun: Maverick. And weirdly enough, "Hangman"

Year in Tiers 2022 - Chris Kattan
One tier above the Worst Films of the Year, we find our decidedly bad movies that still have their occasional moments of entertainment sprinkled throughout. Which is why this bad but not terrible tier is named after SNL C-lister, Chris Kattan. #89. Aftersun This may be a little too low on the list but honestly, I'm just so tired of this kind of slow-burn arthouse tragedy porn. It's such a bore watching silhouettes sob in the reflection of a big box television playing glitchy

Year in Tiers 2022 - The Oscar Slaps
On the whole, 2022 wasn't the best year for movies. From tent-pole franchises to indie horror pretenders and lackluster award hopefuls, the year was mostly full of underwhelming output. But while the majority of our 2022 recap resides in the middle tier, these were the bottom of the barrel embarrassments that will haunt you until the end of your days. And even though I'm as tired as you are of hearing about it, there was no more embarrassing moment in 2022 than Will Smith's i

Year in Tiers 2021 - Dan Flash's
The Top Tier in this Year's recap is dedicated to the best of the best, unimpeachable standard of quality set by fashion icon - Dan Flash. These are the industry gold medalists that all of entertainment should aspire to and can be priced at easily over $1000 because of how complex their tapestry of filmmaking artistry has been woven. First up is a sequel to the third remake of a 40 year old slasher movie... #9. Halloween Kills While David Gordon Green's 2018 re-quel garnered

Year in Tiers 2021 - Kelly Rowland
Listen, I mean no disrespect to Kelly Rowland. She's an incredibly talented and beautiful young woman. She even made me giggle a few times in the critically adored Freddy v.s. Jason. But next to Beyonce, we ALL pale in comparison. This tier is dedicated to her and all the runners up out there not quite dynamic enough to flourish on the grandest stage. #33. Those Who Wish Me Dead Taylor Sheridan's latest throwback, neo-western thriller finds Angelina Jolie protecting a young b

Year in Tiers 2021 - Hershey Bar
The Middle Tier finds the inoffensive, middle of the road films that can best be described as average or slightly above. Fine. Like a Hershey Bar. There have been so many improvements on the candy bar at this point that a simple chocolate bar pales in comparison. It's still chocolate, it's just not anything to get all that excited about. It'll float around in the candy jar until all the better options are taken. #59. The Tragedy of Macbeth Maybe it's just the apple+ logo that

Year in Tiers 2021 - Limp Bizkit
The Next Tier finds us with the bad but not entirely terrible films of 2021. If you're desperate enough, you can find some redeemable qualities in these titles - not unlike the music of Limp Bizkit. It's not perfect by any means but be honest, they've got a few songs that can get your head nodding here and there. #78. Coming 2 America After his long overdue return to the SNL stage, I was so ready for the Eddie Murphy revival. But Coming 2 America is a flaccid PG-13 follow up

Year in Tiers 2021 - Big Ol' Motha Fucking Duffle Bag of Shit
Season 2 of COVID-19 had me watching a shit load of movies. More than I ever have in any one year. I'll say it, TOO many. And yet there were so many I didn't even bother with. Jungle Cruise, Red Notice, F9, other movies that don't star the Rock...but these were the worst movies I actually took the time to finish. Unlike Venom 2. I turned that shit off right away. Anyways, this is the bottom tier - the Big Ol' Motha Fucking Duffle Bags of Shit. #100. Malignant I'm not a huge J
