Sitting Around Talking Movies

Award Shows So Far...WHat Happens Next

The Critics Choice Awards and the GOlden GLobe Awards have come and gone. You've probably forgotten the monologues already. But what about the winners and losers? Are there any sure bets as to who will win or even get nominated for the Oscars. Listen in and we'll let you know

The Awards So Far...What Happens Next?

The Critics Choice Awards and the Golden Globe Awards are behind us now. But there are plenty ahead on the road to the Oscars. Are there any sure bets yet? We've taken a look at what's transpired yet so listen in and you'll here what we think may happen in the future. Award-wise that is.

2025's Best & Worst! Plus "The Housemaid," "Song Sung Blue" and More!

Judging from what's already happened so far in 2026 we may look back on 2025 as the good old days. So we decided to take a look back and tell you our best and worst movies of 2025. Neil Rosen and Bill McCuddy both take a different approach while Bill Bregoli demurred because he thinks the entire year's offerings were pretty much "meh," But we also have some new movies to talk about. We start with "The Housemaid" starring Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney, who contractually has to be in every other movie being filmed these days. We all saw it and we actually all agreed on it. And speaking of Amanda Seyfried, we also have "The Testament of Ann Lee" which is giving her some Oscar buzz. Plus we have "Song Sung Blue" with Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudon singing more Neil Diamond songs than doctors would recommend. Then there's "The Choral" starring Ralph Fiennes as a choir master. Just what audiences are craving for these days. Plus there's "We Bury the Dead" because someone thought we should start 2026 with a zombie movie. Then again, why not? So listen in and put off all those New Year's resolutions you're probably not going to keep anyway.
