This week we’re poking at the present with equal parts curiosity and mischief.

We ponder upon:

• the state of today’s cinema (is it thriving, flailing, or just vibing?)
• the films and moments that have truly bottled the zeitgeist of 2025
• the things we’ll inevitably look back on and mutter… WTF were we thinking?

Expect spirited tangents, cheeky predictions, and a healthy dose of pop‑culture chaos as we unwrap the year that was.

Expect sharp takes, sideways glances, and plenty of spirited debate as we rummage through the pop‑culture gift bag of the here and now.

Then, Absurd Autumn refuses to stay in its lane. We ditch the drab detour of Freejack (1992) and swerve back into the delirious world of Samurai Cop—this time with its sequel.

The make-up is still questionable, the dialogue still baffling, and the police work somehow even more inexplicable. It’s a return to absurdity that proves some franchises never learn… and we’re all the better for it.

Join us for present‑day musings, future‑shock predictions, and another deep dive into cult cinema’s most chaotic corners.
