It's Dorkfest! Dorkfest 2025 is here!

This is our annual countdown of our favorite 10 movies of 2025. It was a great, GREAT movie year. We can't wait to talk to you about it.

Have a great holiday, everyone. We'll see you in 2026.

Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy. And to John Dog at johndog.org for the intro music.

We have reached Dorkfest week! Wednesday is our annual Best Movies of the Year show, but before then, we have to do our Lightning Round show, wrapping up all the big releases late in the year. They are:

The epic musical "The Testament of Ann Lee." The musical comedy "Song Sung Blue." The harrowing documentary "My Undesirable Friends: Part One -- Last Air in Moscow." Park Chan-Wook's "No Other Choice." Jim Jarmusch's "Father Mother Sister Brother" Gus Van Sant's "Dead Man's Wire"

Lots of stuff! And on Wednesday: Dorkfest. Prepare thyself.

We have only TWO shows left--including this one--before Dorkfest: We are almost there.

Three big ones this week. First, it's the Josh Safdie Timothee Chalamet epic "Marty Supreme." Then it's George Clooney and Adam Sandler in Noah Baumbach's "Jay Kelly." And we finish with the Bradley Cooper-directed comedy-drama "Is This Thing On?" It's crunch time, folks.

We have only three shows left--including this one--before Dorkfest: It is getting very serious now.

This week, we look at Chloe Zhao's Shakespeare drama "Hamnet." Then we dramatically shift gears to discuss Rian Johnson's third Knives Out film, "Wake Up Dead Man." And we close with the Cannes hit "The Secret Agent." Again: Just three shows left--counting this one!--until Dorkfest. Happy December!

Leitch is about to turn a big round number, so there's no show next week, sorry: Lots of moving parts in Athens. But we've got three big movies to discuss before we leave you for a fortnight. First off, it's Benny Safdie's '90s UFC story "The Smashing Machine," with The Rock. Then, Paul Greengrass returns with the Apple TV Matthew McConaughey movie "The Lost Bus." And we close with the Cillian Murphy Netflix movie "Steve."
