At the Flicks

We return with another of our roundups of last year.  For this episode we have a very entertaining discussion about the films of 2025 with Niall Browne, the creator of Movies In Focus.  Yes, Graham and Jeff are chatting with the man on the film pulse to find out what was worth seeing last year.  The beauty of this conversation is, Niall goes beyond the norm (in both his film watching and his excellent interviews which you can find on moviesinfocus.com). 

Once again, we don’t have any links or film titles to go with these show notes.  To find out Niall’s top five countdown you will have to check out the show. 

Our next show will be our final look back at 2025, the one where Graham and Jeff go head to head on their respective film lists.

Until then, see you At The Flicks.

Continuing our review of 2025, we talk to Phil The Bear about his film choices of the year.

I guess you are not too surprised to hear that Jeff and Phil got into something of a heated discussion about some of Phil’s choices. Regular listeners will probably guess which film makers cause this upset between the two contributors. However, what may surprise you is that there is one film in Phil’s top five which was also in Tessa’s (see previous show).

Graham and Jeff have now promised faithfully to watch this movie.

After discussing / arguing about Phil’s top five, the team then discussed what they are looking forward to seeing in 2026. Amazingly, there much agreement between Phil and Jeff – mainly because Marvel wasn’t mentioned!

As before, we will give no clues as to what Phil’s top choices are – we will leave that for you to discover for yourselves. Please let us know what you think – are you team Phil or team Jeff?

Another 2025 roundup from a top film critic is coming shortly.

Until then, see you At The Flicks.
