Countdown #511 A long time ago, in a galaxy exactly like this one, three podcasters recorded their regular crossover event in which the American joined the two Australians to talk the best films of the previous calendar year. But the stars were not aligned that day, my friends. For the American had technical difficulties and his end of the conversation was lost to the Dark Movie Overl- sorry, wrong show - to the ether, forever. It took many moons until the Australians felt ready to again scale the mountain that is this massive topic, knowing they would be doing so without their American friend. But here, now, eventually, finally, that episode is yours to enjoy. But while doing so, spare a thought for the American in this story. Maybe go over and give his final season of Binge Movies a listen - one of the Australians did, after all, feature on the most recent ranking episode - the supposedly second last in that show's existence. Or, if you're ready for some blood and gore, hit up that same American-Australian combo with ANOTHER (lovely) American over on the soon to be completed second season of The Slashers. But whatever way you cut it, get ready to hear about the very best films that last year had to offer. In mid-March of the following year (but whatever) ... Want more?

On the fifty- sixth episode of All the Film Things, film pundit Kwestin Fisher joins me in discussing our top ten films of the 2020s (so far)! This episode is explicit.Now that it's January 2026, we are officially in the second half of the 2020s… if you can believe it! There have been a plethora of excellent films released in the past five years and, as we look to what'll be hitting theaters this year, the second half of the 2020s will surely be bright for cinema. After reflecting on solely 2025 in the previous episode, I thought it would be fun to reflect on the 2020s as a whole as sort of a companion piece to that latest episode. This is Kwestin's first time on the show! It's hard to believe this is Kwest's ATFT debut considering how long we've been trying to record an episode together. We've known each other for about four years now as we both were interns on the social media app formerly called Relevnt. We've stayed in contact ever since, most always discussing film. Because of our schedules and living in different time zones, it's tough to set a time to record an episode together. Thankfully we were able to make it work this year and I'm thrilled to finally have him on the podcast! This episode was recorded on January 10, 2026.Kwest is the face and founder of Fish Flicks Entertainment where he talks about film, television, and pro wrestling. He is an excellent movie critic who really goes to see all the movies (well… all except Sentimental Value

It is 2026 and once again time for that good ‘ol pretentious best films of 2025 discussion. 2025 delivered some straight all time bangers and plenty of interesting films to chew on and linger in your brain. Christ Johnson had normally been doing this run with me, however he felt he hadn’t seen enough this year to do a list. And in his passing, he suggested I bring on another Normie – Shelby Deal. And what a recommendation. Shelby has seen loads and was game for the task. Shelby and I reflect on the year, talk about honorable mentions before revealing our Top 10s. I hope you enjoy and find yourselves some recommendations and validations as we share our favorites. What were some of yours? -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return January 12th.

Good day to you, ladies, gents, and fellow people. In episode 208 of Film Focus, I share my top 10 films of 2025. There have been a lot of films released this year, and I haven't had the chance to see nearly as many as I would've liked, but I have compiled a list of my favourites, and I think it's a nice mixture of films. It has been a little tricky to put this list together, and several films didn't make it. However, some of them ended up on the runner-up list that I'll go through before the top 10. With all that said, I hope you enjoy the episode.

Hello and welcome back to the final We Needed Roads podcast of the year, our Top 10 Films of 2025 episode!And honestly, we're lucky this recording still exists because friendships were tested.Neil championed small British indie films no one else had heard of, David flew the flag for horror like it was a religion, Marie championed exactly two films, and Jose… well… Jose knows what he did and has since been formally accused of lying on the podcast.There are rants. There is swearing. There are angry looks across the screen. And by the end of this episode, we genuinely don't know if we'll all still be on speaking terms.So strap in — this is We Needed Roads' Top 10 Films of 2025, and it gets messy.This list is correct. Until you tell us why it isn't.If you love movies, TV, geek culture or listening to four people passionately argue about shows… give us a LIKE, drop a COMMENT, and hit SUBSCRIBE so we can lurk in your algorithm forever.Let us know if you agree with our Top 10 Shows of 2025 list, and if not what show you think should be there!Follow We Needed Roads Podcast on the socials:

This episode is presented by Regal Unlimited, the all-you-can-watch movie subscription pass that pays for itself in just two visits.

Greetings and HAPPY THANKSGIVING, YaketyCAST fans! We decided to drop a special episode on turkey day and it's all about our TOP 10 Movies of the Year! Join us as Ernesto, John, and Tramell countdown their personal lists. They also talk about some of the worst movies they've seen this year.
And…we're back! Did you miss us? You can say so—it's OK. Yes, it's the return of Vintage Sand, your film history podcast, with our first episode since May. It was a frantic and wonderful summer, but now the leaves are falling and it's time for us to get back to what we love to do, with a double episode no less than 25 years in the making. That's right, fellow film fanatics; it's Vintage Sand's Top Ten Films of the 21st Century (So Far). And once again, a major cultural institution has stolen our ideas! When last we three met in May, we had decided to do these episodes. But fate intervened and delayed us, and, sure enough, when we opened up the “New York Times” in mid-July, there was their best of the century list so far. This has happened to us far too often to be coincidence—anyone know any good intellectual property lawyers out there? And that “Times” list was truly interesting in several ways. First of all, we much preferred the fan's list of the Top 100 (to my great pleasure it included “La La Land”, “Blade Runner 2049”, “Sinners” and “Midsommar”). But, in what was perhaps a bit of quiet backlash to the 2022 “Sight & Sound” Poll, there were only a handful of directors of color, and fewer female directors than one might have expected. On the other hand, the clear “winner” of the Times poll was Christopher Nolan, the only director with five films on the list (the Coens, PTA, Alfonso Cuarón each had four). Nolan is the Hitchcock of our times, in the sense that he is one of those rare directors who both receives critical acclaim and puts asses in the seats. Now if he would only put those blaring soundtracks a little lower in the audio mix so that older, cranky audience members such as us have a shot at hearing the dialogue… Ultimately, the work we put into creating these lists revealed a surprising and heartening result. From long before the time we started Vintage Sand back in 2018, all we've heard is doom and gloom about the state of cinema this century. “Film is dead” because folks are watching on their phones, or because of the algorithm, or because of streaming, or because of the emphasis on the global film marketplace over the domestic, or because our attention spans have vaporized, and on and on. Not that those are not real issues, but the death of film has been continuously reported since sound arrived roughly a century ago. And let me tell you, dear and faithful listeners: we had an incredibly difficult time narrowing down our respective lists to 25, let alone 10. We were overwhelmed with the number of creative, innovative, and moving films we had to choose from, films that will stand the test of time as well as any you could mention from the imagined “Golden Ages” of film. So our message, in the end, is one of optimism. Film is still a vital and glorious art form, and while you may have to dig around a bit more than you used to to find the greatness, it is clearly there. Enjoy these two episodes, and join us in facing the future of film with anticipation, excitement and joy.
