Film Geeks is back with a jam-packed episode reviewing four of the wildest, weirdest, and most surprising watches of 2025.
We kick things off with a dissection of Wicked Part 2, why it missed the mark, and how breaking the story into two films impacted the experience. Then we jump into a double take on The Running Man—comparing the 1987 Arnold classic to the 2025 adaptation and the original Stephen King novel. Spoiler: they’re almost completely different stories.
Next, we get emotional and nostalgic over the Eddie Murphy documentary, reflecting on his legendary impact on stand-up, film, and culture—and whether he still has one last stand-up set left in him.
Finally, we lose our minds over Bugonia—a sci-fi thriller that plays like Donnie Darko meets Get Out—with a twist ending that had us staring at the screen in shock. Alien lore, unreliable narration, and Emma Stone’s best performance since Poor Things.
Plus: hot takes on true crime series All Her Fault, stand-up GOAT debates, and our excitement for Stranger Things final episodes.
