As we get ready to see who the Oscars award this coming weekend, it’s time once again for the Kick Ass Awards, Everything Action’s own celebration of last year’s best and worst, including the prestigious Ass Kicker of the Year and The Kick Ass Movie of 2022.  Read on to check out all the winners (and losers).

This week on the final Everything Actioncast podcast of 2022, Zach and Chris talk about some of the best and worst of the year in the world of movies, video games, and TV.

2022 was a great year for movies with a great mix of smaller movies, streaming originals, and massive blockbusters in theaters. Here are Zach’s picks for his top 10 best/favorite movies of the year.

The Batman is out on DVD and Blu-Ray this week along with Studio 666, X, Umma, a ton of 90s favorites on 4K like Wild Things, Patriot Games, and Candyman, The Sinner Complete Series, Lifeforce and Malignant on 4K, and more.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 blew away its predecessor with the biggest opening ever for a movie based on a video game and the first $70 million+ opening for a PG rated movie since Frozen II in 2019 while the latest from Michael Bay failed to take off and gave the master of Bayhem his lowest opening ever.

Morbius topped the box office over the weekend but it was probably much softer of an opening than Sony was hoping for, especially compared to the Venom movies, which both opened to at least double or more of Morbius’s $39 million domestic.

The Lost City overtook The Batman to claim the top spot at the box office over the weekend while Indian import RRR: Rise, Roar, Revolt has the 2nd biggest opening domestically for a Bollywood film of all time.

The Batman remained at the top of the box office for the third weekend in a row but has some strong competition from the latest big anime theatrical release, Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie.
