The Top 10 Films of 2024 (Movie Squad Podcast #195)

Movie Squad critics Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo wrap up their tenth year together (and the 20th year of Movie Squad!) by running through their fave films of 2024! Cue “Pump It Up” by Danzel…

The ‘Blockbuster Babes’ reviewed more than 100 movies in 2024 (and watched many, many more). After picking their individual Top 30s, they joined Brekky host Pamela Boland to whip through their combined Top 10, as well as Pam’s cruelly uncited favourites. Then, they recorded a super special podcast-only segment discussing their combined Top 30 (as well as the year’s absolute worst movies). Plus, they share voicemails from the ‘Bonus Babes’ (as Pam calls them): your Movie Squad all-stars Cecilia Allen, Lucy Rutherford and Laura Blundell.

Listen to the ep below to hear what made the cut, and then scroll down for the full list. After next week’s Boxing Day/New Year’s Day preview, Simon and Tristan return to the RTRFM airwaves on 17 January 2025, at which point you will be expected to have seen their full Top 30.
