OAMR: 2025 Year in Review

·47 min

Scott and Dave open the show with their yearly year in review, looking back at everything they saw in 2024 and asking whether the movies were memorable, worthwhile, or worth revisiting. The first stop is Peggy Sue Got Married. They call it a fun Back to the Future-esque time travel movie, say they enjoyed it, and admit Scott did not enjoy Nicolas Cage. Even so, they land on it as a good one, and the ending leaves them guessing a bit. At the Earth's Core comes next. They describe it as a 60s-style adventure about digging into the center of the planet, and they like the old-school special effects even if they clearly mark it as of its time. The movie gets called fun, sexy, and the kind of old sci-fi they dig. Then the tone shifts hard. The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert becomes the show's big rave, with Scott calling it probably his favorite movie of the year and maybe one of his top 10 favorite movies of all time. He praises it as well written, funny when it should be, and heartfelt when it matters, and gives Terence Stamp a god bless you. They had both known about it for years, but once they finally watched it, it hit Scott as a complete surprise in the best way. To Wong Foo follows right behind it as the funnier sibling for pure laughs, while still drawing a sharp contrast with Priscilla and getting real affection from both hosts. Chris Penn steals the conversation as the corrupt cop, especially in the bar scene where he seems to talk through his own thoughts out loud. The episode closes by looking ahead to 2026, promising more movies and more interviews with wrestlers and their movies, plus the usual plea to like, share, and subscribe before they sign off.
