Just like buses, not a peep for years and then two episodes come along at once! Join Contrarah, Jen and Chris as they assess the huge number of films that came out in 2025 and how their Top Ten lists may not reflect what the Academy nominated as Best Picture.

We bet you'll find something here that you like.

Do not adjust your headphones, we are back in your feed! Beyond Bechdel returns in a time of need, we think the Academy has it wrong about the best films of 2025!

Join Contrarah, Jen and Chris as they rank their top lists of 2025 movies, and make the case for why these films should have been nominated for Oscars.

OH NO WHITE MAN PRIVILEGE ALERT!

Correct, this is an episode about a TV show produced by a white, straight, male showrunner, BUT it's different, we promise. The Premise is a new comedy anthology on Disney+ (shocking) looking at our pre-conceived ideas about gender, morality, race and sex and turning them on their heads to hopefully bring empathy, education and thought to our polarised times. Contrarah was blown away at the quality of the writing, directing and star power involved, but, even with a huge array of female talent on board, it doesn't seem to have hit the collective consciousness. Shout out to Jia Tolentino, Darya Zhuk, Lillian Yu, Josie Duffy Rice, Alexandra Ruddy, Dina Hashem and more!

Come for the recommendations and laughs, stay for the...butt plugs?
