Happy New Year! It’s the end of 2019, and that means it’s time for all good podcasts to do a year in review episode. The thing about a show focused on pop culture like ours is that we have already devoted episodes to all of the biggest pop culture events of the year. We know everyone saw Avengers: Endgame, Watchmen, and the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. But what about all of the other stuff that happened this year? What about all of the great media that didn’t get enough press? On this week’s SUPERSIZED episode, Hannah, Katya, Wayne and Mav countdown and review thirty of their favorite movies, games, books, music, TV shows and more that you might have missed. Give it a listen, let us know what you think, and let us know if you end up searching out some of our faves. And while you’re at it, let us know what things WE missed that we should be on the lookout for.
