MostlyFilm’s Best of 2015: Music
So it’s that time of year again. On Wednesday we’ll be writing about some of our favourite telly of the year, and next week we’ll bring you some thoughts on some of the films of the year. But first, a musical palate-cleanser.
Ma(i)nly Film
Here at MostlyFilm, we have celebrated International Women’s Day before, and the question has been asked, possibly, but when are you going to celebrate International MEN’S Day?

Beasts of No Distribution
If an Oscar-bait movie falls in the limited release forest, does it make a sound on Netflix? Your guide to this question, but without the horribly tortured metaphors, is the mysterious Ron Swanson.
