Happy holiday season to all our listeners and followers! To end the year we wanted to celebrate your hard work and creativity, so check out this thread below full of the work of some amazing creators!
First up we want to shout out all the guests we've had on the podcast, as without them we wouldn't have been able to get the podcast going in the way we wanted!
Our first guest was @alex_dewing, who's an entertainment writer & editor! She's done so much amazing work this year like this piece on Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn: http://shorturl.at/eswVY and setting up the amazing community for writers, Writer's Bloc: https://discord.gg/ZP7sqXHg
Next we had @JackCam86118967 who's a writer and actor, he's had lots of great pieces this year, but in particular, we thought his retrospective on director Takashi Miike and why his films are difficult to recommend was super interesting and well written! https://oneroomwithaview.com/2020/05/12/why-takashi-miikes-films-offer-more-than-shock-and-controversy/
Our next guest was @GavinSpoors94 who is a film critic and screenwriter, and since we had such a great chat talking about two Rian Johnson films, it only felt right to share Gavin's incredible piece on generational conflict in Johnson's films! https://flipscreened.com/2020/03/21/let-the-past-die-generational-conflict-in-rian-johnson-films/
Then we had @filmswithamy on the podcast! Amy's a film writer who puts out tonnes of great content on her website https://filmforthought.co.uk/ and if that's not enough, Amy also has own her podcast where she chats to guests about their favourite movie: http://shorturl.at/hzAC4
Our last guest of the year was @kateypretzel, who is a film and tv critic! Katey has two podcasts of her own, @getlsayedpod which is a podcast all about Buffy, and @bebackpodcast where films and their remakes are discussed! Both are excellent and you should check them out!
Next up we've got some shoutouts sent to us from our listeners!
First, @DavidOsgar was really proud of this review he did of Wonder Woman 1984 and he should be! It's a great review that really dives into what does and doesn't work in the film! You can read it here: https://www.freshtakehub.com/post/a-superhero-in-2020-wonder-woman-1984-review-mild-spoilers
And @DavidOsgar also wanted to shoutout his two podcast hosts! @NialltheGlynn wrote this great review for the Lego Star Wars Christmas Special: https://www.freshtakehub.com/post/brick-to-the-future-the-lego-star-wars-holiday-special
And @DavidOsgar's other co-host, @sweatyjake wrote this amazing piece about Miles Morales and Into The Spiderverse: https://www.freshtakehub.com/post/spider-verse-remixing-resampling-your-identity
Next, @kev_woodley shared with us the link to the first piece of film writing he did this year all the way back in April, this brilliant piece is on Twin Peaks and why liking weird things is great! https://flipscreened.com/2020/04/08/30-years-on-twin-peaks-proves-that-its-damn-fine-to-be-weird/
The lovely @OllyWrites has been smashing it this year over at @NewGamePlus_UK, and with these pieces he wrote which are only a small sample of all the great writing he's done this year! https://twitter.com/OllyWrites/status/1339677660205768707
Up next, @daisytreloar has been an amazing supporter of the show and hopefully will be guesting next year! We loved this piece she wrote about LGBT+ rep in animation: https://screen-queens.com/2020/11/02/from-slash-to-canon-how-fan-culture-changed-lgbt-representation-in-childrens-animation/
Daisy also loved reading this piece about Creation and Togetherness in Portrait of a Lady on Fire: https://www.brightwalldarkroom.com/2020/12/14/i-also-felt-your-absence-celine-sciamma-portrait-of-a-lady-on-fire/ which is definitely worth checking out!
Some podcasts we want to shout out are The Lag ( https://newgameplus.co.uk/category/podcast/) over at @NewGamePlus_UK, @palkeyspodcast by @darylbaxter, and @JumpCut_PLAY's podcast https://play.jumpcutonline.co.uk/playcast/ 
And last, but certainly not least, host of the show @roryhasopinions has written some amazing things this year but his piece on Shirley: https://takeonecinema.net/2020/shirley-and-the-taste-of-madness/ and his article on Jingle All The Way: https://jumpcutonline.co.uk/2020/12/14/wheres-your-christmas-spirit-finding-the-heart-of-jingle-all-the-way/ are two that really show off his talent!
Please continue to send us links to any work or your portfolios, we'd love to add them to this thread! We'll be updating throughout the next few days, so let us know if you'd like yours or someone else's work added here!
