Continuing the tradition of kicking off the year with some low effort episodes while I (Josiah) recover from working the holidays, Caleb, James C. Liker, and eventually Josh joined me to hang out and mostly talk about movies. We spoil Bugonia. We also touch briefly on the recent ICE murder in Minneapolis.

It is a tradition now to kick off the new year with a low effort episode so that I can recover from the holidays. So this year, Chris Barker and Jake the Lawyer join Josiah to hang out and talk about craft beer and coffee, the "seizing"/"capture"/"kidnapping"/"abduction" of Maduro, declining literacy, and some sports.

For the final episode of 2025, Phil Cozzi returns to talk about The Bishop's Wife (1947), a Christmas movie about an angel teaching a workaholic Episcopal bishop to be nice to his wife. We also talk about Christmas movie tropes in general, and Phil does some theologizing.
