This week on Operation Kino, it's time to kick 2011 to the curb with what's now our second-ever Top Ten podcast. All four of us have come prepared with our personal top 10 lists, and with Da7e bravely moderating, we go through all of our picks from 10 down to 1, pausing to praise, argue over and sometimes openly scoff at each others' picks. Listen in as we revisit some of our biggest arguments of the previous year of podcasts, pick on David for choosing films that don't technically open until 2012, and all choose one-- just one!-- film that makes all four of our lists.

And because most of the actual show consists of us squabbling with each other, allow us to take this moment to thank all of you for listening, whether this is your first episode or you've been following our shenanigans since this time last year. We've been thrilled watching our audience grow as we (hopefully) got better at this podcast thing, and with a full year of the show behind us, we're more than excited to see what happens in 2012. We couldn't keep doing this without your support, so thank you thank you for making this a worthwhile adventure every single week.

Take a listen below and find your downloading options; for more from all of us, you can follow the show (@opkino), Da7e (@da7e), David (@davidehrlich or @CriterionCorner), Patches (@misterpatches) and me (@kateyrich) on Twitter.
