Ahoy Filmerinos! We have a light hearted roundtable discussion for y’all today where we explore our own hatred, disappointments, and wasted times of movies that were “taxing” to watch. If there’s any way to make tax season fun, we found it by discussing the films we hated, the walks out of the theater, and even the Oscar snubs where politics won over movies that deserved better accolades.
