We close out 2025 the only way we know how: talking through the movies, TV shows, music, and books that actually stuck with us.

From paranoia-fuelled series like Silo, Pluribus, and Welcome to Derry, to obsessive deep dives like Deliver Me From Nowhere and Heat 2, plus the rise of bands like The Warning, this episode isn’t about rankings or awards — it’s about the stuff we couldn’t stop thinking about.

This is our last podcast episode of 2025. Thanks for listening, arguing with us, and sticking around for whatever this is called.
