2014 in Review: Special Film Awards

This post signifies the start of my 2014 film awards! While the other day I lamented stuff I had to exclude this post is all about celebration, or in the case of my worst films of the year list, derision. Since I am a writer/podcast producer at Awards Circuit, the following choices will represent part 1 of the ballot I will turn in, so you can’t blame me if the choices turn out boring lol jk. Anyways, here’s my special film awards.

Penny Dreadful Recap: Episode 1.08 “Grand Guignol” (Season Finale)

So here we are, we’ve reached the season finale of Penny Dreadful…feels like only yesterday I started writing these recaps.

I was left with spaces to fill and harsh decisions to make.
