Best Movies of the Year - 2025

Apex Review

This week we're looking at a couple of things that have been out for a bit, but we really wanted to check in with... but, for opposite reasons. We're covering Apex, a surprising film, but really only in that it has such big names and so little hype led to its release. We're also, almost accidentally, covering Widow's Bay, which is just fascinating whether you love it or not.

Best Movies of the Year - 2025

It's that time again, and now that award season is officially over and you've had your shot at learning which films have the nods, awards, and attention, we'll let you know which ones really stand out. We also babble endlessly about the films that don't quite make our lists, and it was a pretty interesting group there this year.

Sentimental Value Review

As awards season wraps up and we get ready to dive into our Best List, we've got one we need to cover, Sentimental Value.

Tune in find out what we thought. We also have thoughts about the Olympics.

2026 Awards Rundown - Critics Choice & Golden Globes

This week we're running through the nominees and winners in the post-CriticsChoice/Golden Globes Awards season, but really we're just walking through the films that were nominated and waxing poetic on how they stack up. Which films deserved to be nominated? Which are worth your time? Which ones, despite being nominated, have you still not heard of?

Thunderbolts & Misson Impossible: Final Reckoning Reviews

This week we have another republish episode and it's a blockbuster blowout. One door closes and another hopes to keep itself open as Thunderbolts tries to convince MCU fans to keep showing up through a dozen or so more films. But, do either of these movies really deliver? We'll give you our thoughts.
