It’s that time of year! Bella, Nick, and Gimme Three Producer Sonja Mereu start our Favorite Films of 2025 Series with three excellent selections.

Since these are 2025 releases, we do want to warn our listeners that we get into some spoilers for all three films we discuss.

• We start with Paul Thomas Anderson’s politically-charged epic and Best Picture contender, One Battle After Another.
• Second, the movie that took the cinematic world by storm earlier this Spring - the powerfully, sexually-charged vampire film Sinners by Ryan Coogler.
• Finally, Park Chan-wook delivers a remarkably pertinent, emotional, and wildly funny social satire with No Other Choice.

Did you see these 2025 masterpieces? What’d you think of them? What was your favorite film of 2025?

Bella Efstratis returns as she and Nick dive deep into their 2025 Letterboxd statistics.

Letterboxd is not a sponsor of this podcast; we are just huge fans. And on this episode, Bella and Nick review some of the incredible stats the app has to offer; how many films they logged and which actors they watched the most (spoiler alert: it’s Tom Cruise).

Throughout the episode, you’ll get dozens of recommendations for films from all genres and eras. From Vertigo to Eephus, and Born on the Fourth of July to New Year’s Evil - we talk about a lot of movies in this hangout episode.

Share your Letterboxd stats with us - and we’ll tag you on our social media!

This week, Nick is joined by returning guest and friend of the Gimme Three Podcast, Ryan Lacen. The two celebrate the life, career, and some of their all-time favorites in this tribute to the legendary Rob Reiner.

- First up: can you handle the truth? Rob Reiner directs Aaron Sorkin's first screenplay—Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, and Jack Nicholson star in A Few Good Men.

- Second: misery loves company. Rob Reiner directs his second Stephen King adaptation in the Academy Award-winning thriller, Misery.

- Finally, we explore a film that blends all that makes a Rob Reiner film great; comedy, adventure, and romance are all on display in The Princess Bride.

What is your favorite Rob Reiner film?
