It’s the final installment of Favorites of 2025! We’re closing out the series with a very special guest: writer and filmmaker Jessica McLaughlin. In this episode, the trio brings their individuality, passions, and distinct cinematic taste to the table with three wildly different films that captured their hearts and minds in 2025.

• Up first, Nick hits it out of the park with Carson Lund’s charming debut, Eephus.
• Next, Jessica invites us into the glittering chaos of Alexis Langlois' Queens of Drama, a queer French musical jam-packed with bangers that will be stuck in your head for days.
• Finally, Bella delivers the final blow with the morbidly tragic and deeply horrifying Bring Her Back, the latest entry in the Philippou brothers’ ever-growing horror filmography.

If you loved these films, it’s guaranteed you’ll love this episode. And if you haven’t seen them yet, hopefully we’ve inspired you to check them out—and pass the recommendations along to your friends.
