Jan 1401:58:49Tap to summarizeAnother year in the books, couldn't have done it without my co-host, Derick McDuff. Sitting on your ass and watching movies is far from the hardest thing in the world but doing anything worthwhile can be challenging at times. But knowing I get to chat with him and have intellectually stimulating conversations every other week keeps me motivated. Thanks for another great year and thanks anyone who takes the time to listen.Special thanks to Dion for calling with his pick for his favorite film of 2025, and a thank you to my Mom for helping me get out to see many of these films, especially OOBAA at the Coolidge Corner Theater.Write into the show at MidnightFilmSociety@gmail.com and @midnightfilmpod on Instagram, Bluesky, and Letterbox.
