25: New Year's Special - 2025 in Review

from Open Mic Night of the Living Dead · host omnldpod

In this episode, we review the biggest and most notable horror movies released in 2025. Together, we discuss what we loved (and what didn’t quite work) in films like Wolf Man, Presence, Heart Eyes, The Monkey, Sinners, Weapons, 28 Years Later, M3GAN 2.0, and many more, highlighting the innovations and trends that defined the genre this year. We share our own reactions, ratings, and memorable viewing experiences, with a few unexpected scares along the way (which movie made Rachel yell out loud?). Plus, we talk about the films on our to-watch list and reflect on how the landscape of horror keeps evolving. As the year ends, we celebrate another fantastic year of horror movies and tease our upcoming Top 25 of 2025 list.
