The Film Dogs Are Cracking Open 2025 - Trades, Flops, Hits, and Predictions That Might Age Terribly

The Film Dogs are back with a 2-part episode this time, and before the 2025 verdicts land, there are trades to settle. Lord Marcus and Mr. B square up the books on their movie draft league. Find out who got robbed, who got lucky, and who walked away with the film they should have picked in the first place. Then some Film Dog News takes over and it does not hold back.

In this episode:

• The 2025 draft trade recap... at least one of them is an absolute heist
• 10 of the Film Dogs' 2026 anticipation picks land in Cannes competition for the Palme d'Or
• 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is Lord Marcus's favourite film of the year and it deserves way more noise
• Project Hail Mary hits big money and you have no excuse not to see it in a cinema
• The Bride flopped hard - but is Jessie Buckley turning in the performance of the year anyway?
• Lord Marcus makes a Dune 3 prediction on the record
• Brady Corbett's next film is four hours, X-rated, and stars someone nobody saw coming
• Cate Blanchett cast as one of the most controversial women of the 20th century
• Top Gun 3 is locked in and the boys argue whether Tom Cruise can do it again
• Two drafted films get bumped to 2027 and at least one of them stings
