2022 was quite a year in film. I truly feel like we were spoiled this year with great film after great film. It’s been a very long time since we had a year where I had a very hard time narrowing my best-of-the-year list down to simply just 10.

Also, My Honorable Mentions will be listed alongside part 2.

Without further ado, let’s get it on!

Sure, the shows are incredibly stupid, but Mike Judge never ceases to make me laugh. I also grew up watching “King of the Hill”, and often revisit the classic comedy “Office Space”, a film about quiet quitting.

With “Beavis and Butthead Do The Universe”, I found myself laughing at all of the incredibly juvenile, yet smartly written jokes that the series is well known for. He also does a better…
