These Are The 10 Best Movies Of 2025

We’re closing out the year with Laura and Em bringing you their absolute favourite films of 2025 — from two girls whose actual job it is to watch everything.From the blockbuster no one thought would hit this hard, to the unsettling sci-fi surprise that completely rewired our expectations, to the movie that quietly became the most talked-about watch of the year, this round-up proves that 2025 delivered in ways we did not see coming.And because it wouldn’t be an Em-and-Laura movie episode without a fight, things quickly derail when one pick sparks a very real debate about release dates, eligibility for today's theme, and whether “vibes” should count more than rules (Laura has thoughts).Consider this your must-watch list before the year ends — emotional, surprising, occasionally unhinged, and very on brand.THE END BITS Love binge-watching TV?

The Tragedy Of Gwyneth's Goop Gift Guide & Remembering A Hollywood Legend

Today we are celebrating the man who made so many of our favourite ever movies. We’ll explain how he shaped the romantic comedy genre - and reveal the one scene he regretted filming.Plus, is this year's Goop Gift Guide the recession indicator no one saw coming? Gwyneth Paltrow’s latest gift guide features an "Under $100" section for us "normies," and frankly, we’re terrified. We break down the strange pivot to affordability and find the few remaining items (like a $500 bathroom accessory) that prove she’s still out of touch. Phew. And we’re digging into a strange new trend of male actors setting boundaries around intimacy scenes. With George Clooney and allegedly Callum Turner both opting out of on-screen romance, we’re asking: are we entering a new, unsexy era of cinema? THE END BITSLove binge-watching TV?
