  • Episode 59: The Dojo's Top Ten Films of 2025

    Episode 59: The Dojo's Top Ten Films of 2025
    Dec 22 2025

    On this month's episode of The Sociologist's Dojo Podcast we are capping off the end of the year with another "best of List." This episode is designed to be a companion piece to my Final essay for 2025 on the blog: The Dojo's Top Ten Films that Encapsulate 2025. As with the list on the blog, this episode's list is not a list of the films that are the most Sociologically relevent, but rather, the films that I saw in 2025 that I gave 4 stars and above to on my Letterboxed page. Because of the function of lists, I will not be including detailed production notes for the episode as that will inevitably spoil the films on this list. Enjoy, everyone. Happy Holidays ! See you all in 2026.
