It's all been leading up to this. As the 2025 cinematic year comes to a close and we officially reflect on the movies that entertained us, bored us, and transformed us, it's time to decide the Best Picture winner once and for all. Last week, One Battle After Another took home the Best Picture award at the first annual Below the Line Podcast Awards. It was a controversial win. The ceremony ended with Jesse officially challenging Dylan to a debate over the best film of 2025. Welcome to the inaugural episode of CineFights for 2026. It's time to settle the debate once and for all in this clash of the titans. What is the best film of 2025? Is it One Battle After Another, or is it Sinners? It's time to find out. Join the Nobodies of Hollywood in a battle of the minds to answer the most important question of last year. We hope you find this conversation entertaining and meaningful.

Season 2 of Peacemaker is bigger, bolder, and a little more comfortable. Maybe a little too comfortable. This week, the Nobodies of Hollywood dive into James Gunn's sophomore season of the titular antihero and discuss whether it embraces its absurd core, or loses its edge and familiarity. Do we need some more Gunn control in the DCU? Let's explore that question together. We hope you find this conversation entertaining and meaningful.

This week, the nobodies of Hollywood sit down to break down one of the most critically acclaimed films of the year: Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another. Dylan and Jesse dive deep into the film's heavy and complex political theming, star performances, and inventive filmmaking. They jump into spoilers right off the bat and Dylan makes the case for One Battle After Another being the best film of the year, deeming it an "instant classic." Prepare for a nuanced conversation about the film's merits, rich politics, and how we can all learn from Anderson's film about how to get through hard times. We hope you find this conversation entertaining and meaningful.
