It is hard to believe how much happened in 2025. We saw close to one hundred movies, and even the ones we saw in the past couple of months seem like a long time ago. So going back a few twelve months seems like an epic journey. And we do go back to the very beginning of the year.

There are some movies that we said at the time that we would be talking about in our year end review. The major releases that caught everyone’s attention. The twisted take on Cinderella that is head and shoulders above everything else in the public domain subgenre. The haunted house movie with the four legged star.

Then, there were the ones that even surprised us. The killer clown movie that was not a gore fest starring a clown named Art. The tense thriller that had one of the best performances of the year. The remakes that were so good not because they were novel but because they did what they should have done.

There are a lot of horror movies out there and with so many viewing options, it can be overwhelming to pick one. This show will help you make those decisions. Every single movie on here is an absolute must see that you should go out of your way to watch.

We love horror and genre. It has been the focus of our show for years. And it is because we like these types of films so much that we notice the ones that are really bad. Of course, when you cover close to one hundred movies a year, there are going to be some bad ones. But this year was particularly rough.

Was it the worst year ever? Not on our end. We brought the same passion and dedication we do to every show. There were some long ugly stretches of reviews. This is true every year, but 2025 was particularly bad. This includes big budget theatrical releases, small indies, and multiple festival offerings.

There are some big names on our least favorite list. We talk about Stephen King, a Chalamet, and AI. We also talk about how one of our favorite genre film festivals disappointed us. Plus, some surprises and a few firsts. All the vitriol is born out of love. We are not hating on anything just to hate. (That’s what we have social media accounts for.) We also want to help our audience make decisions. On the fence about a particular movie? Listen to this week’s show and you will finally be able to make that decision.

The last show of the year is upon us. We are doing something we have never done before. We have covered limited series before. To end the year we also have the return of one of our most asked about guest hosts. It is all killer, no filler this episode as we end things on a strong note.

A few weeks back we started following Welcome to Derry. The first two episodes were horrible. Thankfully, the third one improved to just merely bad. We figured that was a good time to take a break from the show. We also knew we would come back to close the whole thing out.

It seemed like things would be okay for a couple of shows. They had found their stride. Sure, the CGI was still awful. Yes, the opening credits sucked. Yeah, they kept introducing numerous new subplots every episode. But at least Welcome to Derry was remaining at a consistent level of bad.

Then we came to the last three episodes.

Everything became progressively worse. Seemingly important characters would disappear then just reappear to progress the story. Important plot points were dropped until the finale. The writing felt like things were being done as the show progressed. And nothing made sense.

Don’t believe us? That’s fair. We spent the whole time talking the show down. The show is made for a newer audience than us. But listen to the people who love the show. Not the ones who just heap praise upon the surface level qualities. The ones who are tying themselves in knots trying to explain what happened in the show.
