We're kicking of 2026 with a highly factual recount of the Black Christmas Trilogy–or is it a series of reboots? Requels? We're not sure, but we watched them all. Ben gives Caitlin a brief history of horror filmmaking and we finish with a live reaction to the Scream 7 trailer.

Caitlin gathers the Play It Again family to drop their top five discoveries from this past year. From vampire classics like True Blood and Buffy, to Australian scene dominators The Belair Lip Bombs and Radium Dolls, we're covering a helluva lot. Starz's Sweetpea, HBO's Heated Rivalry and the many iterations of Dexter, PTA's One Battle After Another, Post Animal, David Lynch, Ichicko Aoba, SINNERS, Amy Poehler's Good Hang and SO MUCH MORE. Enjoy hearing from all your fave guests in this '25 retrospective.

Degrassi is one of the longest running tv shows in history, and Jocelyn Claybourne IS The Degrassi Kid. From tweeting actors from the show as a teen to starring in the Degrassi documentary (alongside Drake and other normal stuff) to becoming the number one Degrassi show historian, Jocelyn recounts their friendship with actor Annie Clark & the creator of the show Linda Schuyler –who hosted their 30th birthday party (more totally normal stuff) as well as their experience working on the film, becoming a full time content creator and why Degrassi is a show that everybody should watch.
