Bonus : Top Five Films of 2025

Yes, it’s February! Yes, it’s a bit late for an end of year show! But we refuse to let the calendar dictate when our cinematic celebrations conclude. This week we’re unleashing our top 5 films of 2025 where we use a bargain bin blu ray toss to decide their ranking. Beyond the top five, we get into the nitty-gritty of 2025 movies, asking the tough questions like: does Aaron Taylor-Johnson have a modern face or where is that Bill Murray documentary? We’re not just reading lists; we’re also dissecting tracking shots, analysing “dangerous weirdo” performances from the likes of Benicio del Toro and Amy Madigan while also praising the technical brilliance of Danny Boyle. What to expect from this episode: Dan makes a series of excuses for why his year doesn’t officially end until January 32nd. Sarah details her pilgrimage to High Wycombe for the Labyrinth Experience. Tales of inflatable-based cinema rejection. Announcing our individual top 5 movies of 2025. Somehow combining our list to come up with our official top 5 films of 2025. Honourable mentions of films that almost made the top 5. Movies we missed and films we still want to see. 2025 documentaries we watched. A look at 2025 Stephen King adaptations. Worst films of 2025.
