Another year's over, so it's time to convene an Avengers movie's worth of Geek Show contributors to answer the only question that matters: what was good this year? Did Sinners live up to the hype? What was our pick of the Oscar race? Did 28 Years Later live up to Simon's extremely exacting standards of realism for Geordie accents?In this packed show, Graham and Rob are joined by Kat, Mike, Robyn, Aidan, Andrew, Simon and Caitlyn to talk about the first half of 2025 - everything from Nosferatu to Novocaine, Flow to Final Destination: Bloodlines. And there's also room at the end for our worst of 2025. You know what Graham's inflicted on himself for this podcast, but what film made Aidan feel like he was trapped in a room full of CGI zombies for two hours? Find out now!The second half of this year-end review is coming on the Uncut Network in a week's time, but there'll be more Pop Screen before the month's out, including our monthly bonus episode over on Patreon. Backers will also get weekly articles on Doctor Who and The Twilight Zone, our end-of-month round-up podcast Last Night..., plus several new written and audio features we're launching in 2026. To find out more, follow us on Bluesky, Facebook or Instagram.
