Hello folks, and welcome to the end of 2025. I’m sure you don’t need me to summarize this year on a global scale; in short, shit sucks, and it’s questionable when or if things are getting better. While the damage of Donald Trump’s first term as president was limited by his own laziness and ineptitude, the collective forces of evil made sure they hit the ground running this time, and thus the America of today is already a significantly more unstable, hateful, and corrupted empire than even the one of just twelve months ago. Alongside the cruelty raining down on us from our elected officials, Trump 2.0 has also unleashed a fresh wave of cruelty from his supporters, who have declared “woke is over” and revealed themselves to be wholly constructed of belligerence and resentment.

From ruinously terrible Netflix releases to bubble-era anime spectacles, let’s take a brief break from our shared struggle, and talk about some interesting films.
