FilmspottingAbout this episode
Adam and Josh’s Top 10 Films of 2025 conversation with Michael Phillips and Vulture critic Alison Willmore went so long that it had to be split into two parts. In this offering, the roundtable shares their "outlier" choices, and we hear film of the year picks from Matt Singer , Amy Nicholson , Roxana Hadadi , Mitchell Beaupre , and more. Plus, the finalists for the 2025 Golden Brick Award . This episode is presented by Regal Unlimited , the all-you-can-watch movie subscription pass that pays for itself in just two visits.
