96 films and 159 podcasts later, Eric and Kevin have made it atop the A24 mountain after watching every single A24 film from the 2010 decade of A24. Three fellow podcasters quit in the process of this arduous journey, yet Eric and Kevin somehow kept their eyeballs fresh and their vocal boxes running. In this intimate conversation, Eric travelled all the way to Wisconsin to record this podcast in person. The A24 Rocks duo reflects on their journey, shares some personal stories, and shares their top 10 best & worst A24 films from 2013-2019.

Every year these cinephiles get together to decide what movies, actors, actresses, writers, and directors get to take home a golden-coveted Oscar Isaac statue that is as big as Oscar Isaac himself. After the 21 A24 films in 2019, it was the toughest competition yet for the A24 Rocks crew to decide who should win (and lose). 7 Oscar Isaacs, and 1 bronze piece of poop, up for the taking. Who will win? Who will lose? Listen to find out.

Unccccuuuutttttt Jaaaaahhhhhhmmmmms. In our final review of the 2019 year of A24, the A24 Rocks crew has finally reached The Safdie Brothers' gambling New York City anxiety rollercoaster Uncut Gems starring Adam Sandler, Julia Fox, Lakeith Stanfield, and Kevin Garnett. Uncut Gems is about a gambling addict named Howard who owns a gem shop in New York City's diamond district. When Howard imports an Ethiopian black opal and shows it to basketball HOFer Kevin Garnett, the black opal takes on a life of its own. Howard owes money around town, though, and specifically to his brother Arno whose goons are chasing Howard to his kids high school play. In the 96th film of their A24 journey, and the final film of the 2010 decade of A24, what will these film reviewers think of Uncut Gems? Caution: movie spoilers.
