Movie of the Year: 2002 – Finale Part Two

Movie of the Year: 2002

Finale Part Two

It is time to continue picking 2002’s Movie of the Year in our 2002 Finale Part Two!

As we discussed last time, fifteen great movies (and, yes,  one stinkeroo) made their way into the sweet sixteen. And now it is time to take that number DOWN. To an even LOWER NUMBER. There are a lot to pick from, so you figure it out. Lookin’ at you, eight; feels like you’re on deck.

Maybe Bourne Identity will do some of his cool spy stuff and make his way to the last part of our finale. 25th Hour might come in and take down some strong competition in a way we’ll never forget. And The Two Towers might remind us why there is only one lord when it comes to our rings. And it’s not just the movies that can win and lose because we are giving out our podcast-famous Mooties as well, celebrating the best in performance, artistry, and being a huge, huge jerk.

All this AND the stuff that I remembered but cheekily neglected to mention!

While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S.

The Supreme Court overturned Roe versus Wade on June 24th.

Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions.

Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn’t be the privilege of a small few.

You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com.
