302. Who won 2025? Netflix or Cinema?
Episode Summary Happy New Year! It's officially 2026, and the Netflix vs Cinema team is kicking off the year with a massive retrospective. Tosin, Shaun, and Holly look back at the last 12 months to crown the Best Films & TV of 2025. From the Ryan Coogler vampire thriller Sinners to Netflix's groundbreaking drama Adolescence, we break down the absolute must-watches.
Plus, we finally settle the debate: Who won 2025? Tosin reveals the "Dave Beaton Stats"—a comprehensive breakdown of every star rating given on the show this year. Did the Big Screen or the Big Stream come out on top? The results are closer than you think.

Is Netflix killing cinemas? Each week we weigh up what we've seen in cinemas with what we've watched online at home and figure out which provided the best time. At least, we did before COVID jumped in and declared Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney + and friends the winner.
