Welcome to 2026! I kick off the new year by bitching about some cultural trends that need to stay in 2025. Timothée Chalamet may be hot but not as hot as my take on MARTY SUPREME! Aqua-god-director James Cameron delivers audiences a whopping three plus hour adventure back to Pandora with AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH! I catch up with some indie darlings like IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU and foreign language favorites like IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT. Does Netflix finally have a savior in Rian Johnson's WAKE UP DEAD MAN after a year of disappointments? Anything is possible! New Year! More 2025 movies to catch up on!!

39:07 If I Had Legs I'd Kick You
