#309 Sinners, Witches and Alien(s) The 2025 Year In Review

“Can’t go back and keep making same mistakes. Must keep moving forward and make new ones.”Thanks, Bridget.Before we officially close the book, the Reel Debaters hit rewind one last time.In Episode 309, we look back at the beautiful chaos that was 2025. The movies we loved. The shows we binged. The decisions that left us staring at the screen asking, “Who approved this?”We debate what ruled the year, what completely missed the mark, and what surprised us for better or worse. Film, streaming, industry nonsense. Nothing escapes the recap.Old arguments resurface. Closure is not guaranteed.Next Reel Debaters Trivia+ NightJanuary 29th, at The Handsome Daughter IS THE GILMORE GIRLS Trivia+5 rounds of themed trivia,A colouring contestA cosplay challengeFandom CelebratedTickets on sale now on Eventbrite and thereeldebaters.caLimited SeatsRush SeatingDoors open at 645, Register at 7, Trivia starts at 730Episode Sponsors:Smash N Axe Throwing & Arcade.Unleash your inner action hero with walk-in axe-throwing, classic arcade games, and cold drinks to celebrate your victories.
