Greetings from the basement apartment of your nightmares, in sunny Charlotte, North Carolina, it’s time for another marathon. I have never been happier to announce my list for Hooptober #08, a Letterboxd holiday like no other. Surely the wind will chime the chimes and the candles will burn sweet cinnamon and cardamom into the air. Will we start early? Probably! Will we finish? You’re goddamned right!

Watching partners for this year are my lovely wife Rae and my former roommate (but partner in film) Big Ron
