Hundreds of Beavers, it's free on tubi and prime.

Dude, you weren't kidding about this one. It was like a proper live action Looney Tunes but at the same time I also felt like I was binging a whole season of an obscure Adult Swim show.

I recently watched “A Real Pain” and it made its way to my top 10. The Brutalist is the only remaining movie that I think has a shot of making it (maaaybbe “A Complete Unknown also).

You never know... Hundreds of Beavers could be on your list.

I already watched it back in July but didn’t include it in my 2024 releases. I’m going off Letterboxd’s 2022 date. I guess that’s inaccurate?

It was a festival release date I think which happens a lot on imdb/letterboxd. It officially came out in 2024.
