Remember the year 2020? Yeah... We wish we didn’t either. In this episode of 25 Cent Film, your host, McNeill, and his mom, Jacqueline, dive into the unexpected lineup of films from 2020, proving that even the hardest times had stories worth telling when the world hit pause. As theaters went dark and streaming peaked, 2020’s releases became a mix of disorienting dramas, feel-good escapes, and powerful character studies that found meaning in the chaos. McNeill and Jacqueline discuss the hidden gems, in addition to mainstream picks, that came to living rooms around the globe rather than the silver screen. Let’s celebrate the resilience and creativity of cinema together when it was needed most.
