A drive-in movie theater lights up the night in Fairlee. We're talking about the films of 2018.

We're talking about the films of 2018 - mostly the triumphs, a few of the misfires - with an emphasis on movies you can see now, either on the big screen or at home via streaming. We'll try to cover all the bases, from Oscar-bait to blockbusters.

We're joined by Margot Harrison, film reviewer and associate editor for Seven Days.

And by Mark Hurne, who podcasts at CriterionCast.com, and is a member of the Vermont International Film Foundation.
