The Nighttime Nose Bids Adieu To 2018

As 2018 draws to a close, The Nose makes its final appearance on our schedule this year. And so we've brought in a nine-person Nose to do a special, live, nighttime broadcast of our best ofs (and maybe worst ofs?) of the year.

We'll probably talk about The Favourite. We'll almost certainly talk about Black Panther and A Star Is Born (2018) and Crazy Rich Asians. Hannah Gadsby: Nanette will probably get some mentions, along with Queer Eye and My Brilliant Friend.

But that's the easy stuff. What else'll come up? Janelle Monae's Dirty Computer? Childish Gambino's "This Is America"? Bob Woodward's Fear? Writer's Tears whiskey? A whole bunch of different donut shops?

All possible.
