YOU asked for it, and we're delivering! Wait...did anyone ask for this? Regardless, you're here and we appreciate you.

We present our worst films of the year for 2025, and this year is special because not only do you get five bummer picks from each of us, but a shared bonus, sixth movie that we both agreed was actually the worst film of the year (and don't imagine too many would disagree with).

Check out the chapters in the episode to skip around to films you're interested in hearing about, and we save the mystery film for last (spoiler alert: it's War of the Worlds).

Do you agree on our picks? We'd love to hear from you!

Thanks again for listening!

It's that time again, for the exclusive top ten lists of our favourite films from the past year! The value is incredible: you're getting Brian and Nathan's top ten of 2025, but also a whole host honourable mentions that didn't quite make the list.

And chapters! Look at that, if your podcast player supports it, give it a go to scoot around the episode at your leisure. We try out best to avoid spoilers for the films.

We also want to hear from you! What are your top films of the year?

And lest we forget: next episode will be our bottom 5 of 2025, which is always a fun episode with our fair share of hot takes and disappointments.

Thanks again for listening!

Y’all need a pilot?

We're a bit behind but better late than never, right? Do you remember seeing Flight Risk last year? Now for the skill testing question: did you actually see the movie or did you just watch the trailer that gave everything away? We sat down, watched the entire film and ran from the wreckage directly to our mics to try and dissect what what wrong, but mostly just lament about all the bad things about this movie. We have fun doing so, and think you'll enjoy this episode too!

Episode 95

Flight Risk

A pilot transports a U.S. Marshal accompanying a government witness to a trial in New York. As they cross the Alaskan wilderness, tensions soar and trust is tested, as not everyone on board is who they seem.
