Reel Rap: The Best Films of the 2010s

Reel Rap hosts Shane P. and Bennett G. select their favorite films of the 2010s

Reel Rap is taking a break from Elaine May and Mike Nichols to discuss their favorite films of the 2010s and, most importantly, to point out how great their taste is. Bennett selects 11 inscrutable films that he couldn’t shake, films that introduced him to new favorite filmmakers and made him invest in the people’s careers who made them. Shane, with his admittedly small sample of films seen last decade, picks the movies that embedded themselves in his head for years and forged a permanent place in his life.

A comedy duo straight out of William Penn’s backyard, Bennett Glace, an adult Disney fan, and Shane Pfender, an ordained minister, have for years lent a critical eye to Hollywood’s most tedious auteurs. They are a comedy duo for film snobs and slobs alike. Exhausted by the current uninspired landscape of film criticism, the two work to find a new language with which to understand and interact with the films they cover on their inimitable podcast, Reel Rap.
