Please join Kendra and Ken in celebrating the 2010s. They’re gone but only the first half of the decade is forgotten. Ken rants and then Kendra raves...about her fav shows from the last 10 years.

Ken does his part to be hateable by revealing that his best-of-the-decade movie list is made up of 15 flicks and 10 more as an honorable mention. His top two aren’t surprising but neither are the rest of his picks, don’t you worry. We’re excited to move into 2020, even with all the problems in the world. As Brad Pitt said at the Globs (sic) last night, “if you see a chance to be kind to someone tomorrow, take it...I think we need it.” We agree!
Hi Peri! We wish you happiest New Year!
