We watched an irresponsible amount of television in 2025, and now it’s time to shout about it.On this episode of The We Needed Roads Podcast, we count down our Top 10 TV & streaming shows of 2025 — from prestige TV to the smaller show only Neil tried to make us watch.Join Neil who likely watched more TV than his other 3 co-hosts combined, Marie who checked out if it wasn't gay enough and also only seemed to rewatch the same 3 shows all year, David who luckily avoided the horrors of toddler TV but also because of parenting a tiny person had very limited TV time, and Jose who sent in a list of his top 3 shows (as opposed to 10) because either his amnesia is kicking in or he just watched a lot of mid-shows that didn't deserve a ranking.This list is correct. Until you tell us why it isn’t.If you love movies, TV, geek culture or listening to four people passionately argue about shows… give us a LIKE, drop a COMMENT, and hit SUBSCRIBE so we can lurk in your algorithm forever

Merry Christmas from everyone at the We Needed Roads Podcast!!!
It’s a time for friends, family, peace on earth and goodwill to all men (except Jose). Join the We Needed Roads team as SantaGreggors hosts a wonderfully festive Christmas Movie Quiz where David, Marie, Jose & Luke compete to be the ultimate Christmas movie nerd.

And just like a real family Christmas in this episode there will be swearing, shouting, accusations, storming off and Jose repeatedly being called a bag of dicks, for well acting like a bag of dicks and interrupting Santa Greggors before the questions have been fully asked!

So break out the mince pies, crack open a bottle of something strong and play along at home and let us know how you did and if you beat any of the We Needed Roads team? (Spoiler - you probably did!)

It’s a happy day in Hell — because we’re diving deep into Hazbin Hotel Season 2.

This season took everything fans loved and cranked it up. We got lore, emotions, wild twists, and songs that that are the good kind of tingle.

Vox rises as an incredible villain, delivering some of the most , memorable and entertaining songs of the series. The music is top-tier — from emotional ballads to heavy metal bangers. And yes… Huskerdust fans are absolutely broken-hearted after the finale.

Lucifer cements himself as Hell’s Number 1 Daddy, stealing scenes with charm, power, and goofy dad energy. And Alastor? A mad genius, both terrifying and brilliant — Season 2 had big plans for him and it delivered.

Sir Pentious is a good boy now!

This review covers character arcs, new lore, the emotional devastation, Vox’s rise to power, Alastor’s cunning plan, and how Season 3 sets can’t come soon enough.

If you love Hazbin Hotel’s chaos, music, and heartbreak, this is the breakdown you don’t want to miss.

We don't have time to bleed but we do have time to get into all the bloody spoilerific carnage (PG-13 carnage that is!) in Dan Tractenberg's 3rd Predator film, Predator Badlands.

Join Neil, David & Jose as they hunt for answers in their full spoiler review of Badlands and ask questions like 'is this actually a Predator film?' & 'Have they turned the Predator into a Disney Princess?'

We're only joking with those questions but some people honestly believe that and we also get into the films reception, as well as giving our own personal rankings of the Predator Franchise.

And try and stop Jose rating films he hasn't seen!!!
