Happy New Year, Nerds!

We are back and diving into the new year with our most anticipated movies of 2026!

But before we dig into that, we look back at 2025 and the movies we’re still trying to cram in before we deliver our Top Tens of the year!

Then we look at some other top movies, or so-called, of the Screen Actors Guild as they announce their nominees for this year! We get into all the snubs and surprises and give our predictions too, of course.

It’s time to catch up with the latest trailers, including Nolan’s The Odyssey, a new take on an old tale with The Death of Robin Hood, and a spoilerific trailer for They Will Kill You. Plus we get honest about the four-part Avengers: Doomsday teaser trailer release.

For a double helping of our feature discussion, along with our most anticipated movies of 2026, we also review the holiday hit, AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH! Does the third of the franchises carry on the momentum of the second film, or is this story dead in the water?

And finally, we dabble in what we’ve been into as both nerds, Ed and Luis, try to squeeze in every last movie they can before we wrap 2025 for good. Plus Sorry, Baby, Stranger Things and more.

It’s a long one this week, but a good, fun discussion was had by all and, hopefully, by you!
