From Sinners to Severance, and all the memes in between, 2025 was a huge year in pop culture. And as critics argue over which “Best of 2025” is truly canon, the way we consume content is rapidly changing with Netflix's Warner Bros. acquisition and the ongoing debate of whether artists should avoid or embrace AI. 

On this episode of Just Asking, we take all your questions about the movies, music and online trends that broke through in 2025. Richie Assaly is a culture writer who covers music, books and politics. And Kate Lindsay is a culture writer and co-host of “In Case You Missed It" – a podcast from Slate that explores internet culture.
