“Can’t go back and keep making same mistakes. Must keep moving forward and make new ones.”
Thanks, Bridget.
Before we officially close the book, the Reel Debaters hit rewind one last time.
In Episode 309, we look back at the beautiful chaos that was 2025. The movies we loved. The shows we binged. The decisions that left us staring at the screen asking, “Who approved this?”
We debate what ruled the year, what completely missed the mark, and what surprised us for better or worse. Film, streaming, industry nonsense. Nothing escapes the recap.
Old arguments resurface. Closure is not guaranteed.
