2 x Kodak 200 Colour Films. 36 exp. (Kendal LA9)

Anyone have a use for 2 unused film cassettes?
These are unused and carefully stored but can’t tell if they’re still good.
Don’t know how old but must be well over 10 years!
Kodak 200 speed, 36 exposures, 35mm film for colour prints.
Kodacolor DXN. Process C-41.
I know it’s recommended to overexpose it by two full stops to compensate for the film losing sensitivity over time!

“Kodacolor DXN 200 (a legacy consumer film emulsion similar to Kodak ColorPlus/Gold) is C-41 colour film. While heavily expired film can produce beautiful, nostalgic colour shifts, it also degrades—losing sensitivity, building up "base fog," and shifting in colour.”
“How to Shoot Expired Kodacolor 200:
Because film loses sensitivity over time, it’s best to overexpose it so the shadows and colours record properly on the degraded emulsion.
The Rule of Thumb: Overexpose by 1 full stop for every decade it has been expired. For example, if it's 20 years past its expiration date, rate the film at ISO 50 instead of ISO 200.
Set Your Camera: If your camera allows manual ISO selection, set it to the lower adjusted speed. If it’s a point-and-shoot camera that reads the DX code, you may need to manually override the exposure by +1 or +2 stops (if your camera has exposure compensation).
Shoot in Bright Light: Old film has higher grain and reduced dynamic range. Shoot in bright, well-lit environments (like direct sunlight) to get the best possible results.”
