Our Favorite Line Readings of 2018

Every day a new Year in Review round-up as we joyfully bid 2018 adieu...

For today's entry we asked Team Experience and a few of our friends to share their favorite line reading of the year. No one was assigned anything so these are direct from our faces to your faces. Yes, Toni Collette's towering work in Hereditary is on our minds lately. Remember that gem? 

And all I get back is that fucking face on your face."

Or these:

What did you see this weekend?

Black Panther continued gobbling up profits with another $100 million this weekend.

The group must save Brooks from his kidnappers, and maybe nurse Max’s bruised jealousy in the process...
