Top Tens 2025

“Did that come out yet?”

We’re back at it again, ranking our favorite movies of last year in one long podcast! This year, we even beat David’s video countdown by about a week, so we’re historically ahead of schedule. Below you will find this year’s format with timestamps for when we discuss a particular entry (Da7e tried to make it so the movies were only discussed during their highest placement). We can’t help but make hints about The Bone Temple and clarify if Katey Rich was invited to an awards dinner or not along the way.

Donate to David’s GoFundMe to benefit the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund HERE! THANK YOU!
