To kick off a new year of the podcast, Dara looks back at his viewing pleasure and displeasure of 2025 and drops some top tens for your consideration. Beginning with a wrap-up of last year’s Oscar-winning and nominated titles, he goes on to list his favourite films of 2025, as well as his top films outside that group. There are some obvious choices there as well as a couple of surprises.
Dara includes a list of movies that he was catching up on from the last few years that he considers worthy of inclusion – these are nice ones that could well have passed you by. Rewatched movies and classics is the other main list, and there are some absolute crackers on it. Oh, and of course time is made to name the duds of last year. A quick round-up of TV, good and bad, brings things to a close.
