A three-hour live bonus stream boiled down to the good stuff: we rank our 2025 movie slate, defend the wild choices, and celebrate the films that stayed in our heads long after the credits. Two hosts. 50+ fresh titles. A lot of laughter, a few rants, and a surprising amount of agreement where it counts.

• Goals hit and missed on Letterboxd totals
• What we skipped in theaters and why we regret it
• Rating philosophy: vibes vs structure
• Worst-of highlights and why they failed
• Minecraft, Lilo & Stitch, Five Nights fatigue
• Marvel check-in: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four
• Superman restores hope for DC with heart
• Animation surge: Chainsaw Man, Zootopia 2, Bad Guys 2
• K‑Pop Demon Hunters as a cultural flashpoint
• Predator double bill: animated triumph vs live-action dip
• Small wins: Roofman, Sacramento, Companion
• Festival-style faves: Eternity, Train Dreams, Sinners
• Quotable cinema: One Battle After Another mania
• What we’ll watch early 2026 and why

We unpack the Claire Obscur award reversal, the messy line between tools and authorship, and what “indie” really means when budgets, teams, and outsourcing blur the edges. Then we reflect on My Hero Academia’s impact and John Cena’s farewell, trading favorite arcs, rivalries, and why communal hype still matters. We wrap it up with a rapid fire Discord round up of topics from the entire month!

• Why the Indie Game Awards rescinded Claire Obscur’s top honor
• My Hero Academia’s highs, lulls and enduring characters
• John Cena’s final run, legacy and defining rivalries
• Quick hits on Helldivers, AC Black Flag, Fallout TV links
• 2026 movie hype: The Odyssey, Dune 3, and Avengers
