In this episode of the ColbyCast, Colby and Caleb are joined by special guest Tom Gross for our annual reflection on the past year’s pop culture. We dive into our favorite movies and TV shows from 2025, sharing insights on everything from the latest Star Wars entries to the emotional impact of Taylor Swift’s documentary.

Beyond entertainment, the conversation turns toward powerful personal highlights, including a life-changing trip to Iceland, the success of a newly rebranded "STEAM into the Storyverse" event, and a unique initiative teaching varsity cheerleaders how to play Dungeons & Dragons.
