2025 is here, but 2024 in Review has just begun! The Film Majors kick off a brand new year of film discussion by talking the unprecedented wildfires that have gripped LA, Zack's sudden unemployment as a result, and Adam Elliot's stop-motion tragedy Memoir of a Snail.

Another year, another round of painstaking list making! The Film Majors are back from their sabbatical to discuss all things 2024, including but not limited to what they watched over the holidays, their favorite films of the year, Zack's Film Superlatives, if Bill Skarsgård's Count Orlok could "get it," and, of course, what's going on.

What even are movies? Cursed Christmas comes to a cataclysmic close with "The Reindeer Episode." Alexis is in LA, everybody's drunk, and The Film Majors are talking the films that have made them suffer the most for the show, Larry Roemer and Kizo Nagashima's stop motion special Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Steve Moore's hideous animated special Olive, the Other Reindeer, and their thoughts on the new hit holiday film Red One. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

The holly jolly hell of Cursed Christmas continues! Santa's cinematic elves are joined by independent journalist and filmmaker Séamus Malekafzali to discuss actors who make miscasting work for them, Brian Levant's Schwarzenegger Christmas classic Jingle All the Way, and how Séamus would go about swooping Rita Wilson away from Arnold.

Ask not for whom the sleigh bell tolls, it tolls for thee! It's a Cursed Christmas on The Film Majors Podcast once again and the gang kicks it off with a double feature. Along with artist extraordinaire Jakobi Holck-Luke, Alexis, Mick, and Zack discuss who is the best cinematic Santa Claus, John Pasquin's troubling holiday comedy The Santa Clause and Michael Lembeck's even more troubling sequel The Santa Clause 2, and the holiday season's way of bringing out their own masochistic tendencies.

Period Piece Palooza bids the audience adieu as it is carted off in a carriage once again. The Film Majors discuss great first time English language films from international directors, Ang Lee's sumptuous chamber drama Sense and Sensibility, and who Zack would be if he existed in Jane Austin's day.

Alexis gets greedy, making Period Piece Palooza the first six movie month of the show with a double feature! Your hosts talk films from a child's POV, Alfonso Cuarón's sophomore feature A Little Princess and Colm Bairéad's debut The Quiet Girl, as well as how much Zack and Mick love The Lighthouse.

Period Piece Palooza marches on as the podcast travels to the American South in the 1960s! The Film Majors, along with returning guest MeaganzWorld talk cinematic psychics and premonitions, Kasi Lemmons' gothic directorial debut Eve's Bayou, and a whole lot about the Final Destination movies, for some reason.

Period Piece Palooza continues as Alexis takes the podcast back to the Industrial Revolution, leading the gang in a discussion of non-narrative films that they still find engaging, Terrence Mallick's meditative tone poem Days of Heaven, and definitely not the Richard Gere gerbil story.

The powdered wigs are going back on as Period Piece Palooza returns to the podcast! The Court of Film Discourse is reconvened with special guest Chris Francis to discuss films with two perfect lead performances, Miloš Forman's lively historic biopic Amadeus, and Chris's feelings on Guillermo del Toro's modern sci-fi classic Pacific Rim.
