The Embries 2020
Celebrating six years of The Contrarians! And what a year it has been. We had our 100th episode, we had a two-parter tackling the entire TERMINATOR franchise, we had The Summer of Winona, we did Haddonfield Nights… And do you guys even remember when we covered stuff like CAMILLE and MUTE? (Let’s hope so, one of them is a favorite on this episode, while the other one has escaped Alex’s memory) Well, let’s gather ‘round and hand out some awards celebrating the best, the worst, the sexiest and The Gaddest in our annual Awards Show!
Also! Our long-awaited Patreon announcement!
