Episode 132 - DMRs 2025 Top 10 Movies - Who will Win???

December 28, 2025·49 min·5 clips

Dewey frames the show as the grand finale of DMR's 2025 top 10 movie list. He says it has been another huge year for film. Some of the big titles came from cinemas. Others were rented on streaming, and he still treats them as a very good time. He promises honorable mentions for the films that nearly cracked the top 10. A quick Audible Creators Program reminder follows. He tells listeners they can use the show link for a 30-day free trial. He also plugs The Book of Sheen as a strong audiobook pick. The ranking talk then shifts to Nosferatu. Dewey describes Robert Eggers' film as a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and a terrifying vampire, leaving a trail of horror behind it. He notes the film's 2 hour 20 minute runtime and R rating. He points out that Nosferatu is one of the first movies ever made, from the early 1900s. He also explains its connection to Bram Stoker's Dracula. That history includes a legal case from the Stoker family over the source material. The cast gets a clean run-down. Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, and Bill Skarsgard are all named, with Skarsgard's Count Orlok getting the strongest reaction. He cites Rotten Tomatoes scores of 85 percent from critics and 73 percent from audiences. Even with the numbers on hand, the tone stays personal and reactive. The visuals matter too, especially the dark, night-heavy cinematography and the mid-19th-century German setting. He closes by calling the film solid and unique, thanks listeners, points them to DMR's TikTok, and signs off on the 2025 movie year.
