2025 The Rest of the Best

January 5, 2026January 7, 2026admin

We’re talking books, albums, and concerts since that’s what makes up the most of the rest of my time!

Similar to the amount of films I watched this year, television shows were also lacking by comparison to prior years! But still, I packed in 45 shows totaling 400 episodes! That’s still nothing to sneeze at! Here’s some of the stuff that I really liked.

Stranger Things – Fifth and Final Season, Pt 2 Review

In short order I have worked my way through the second batch of Stranger Things episodes as part of it’s weird final season rollout. Granted, this time around there were only three episodes, still. I promise for me, I made short order of them.

Fan Art Friday: Cortis

I’m positivly obsessed with Cortis all thanks to a New Zealand friend I made while visiting Seoul. She was the push I needed to finally give them a chance, so now we get fun drawings of them! I just loved how this photo looked the second I found it, and I think I was able to do it justice with my pen. Enjoy!

Best Films of 2025

I think as you’ve all come to know, there were a lot of movies in my life this year. 130 to be exact! It might be my lowest total since the start of the pandemic, but I was busy! What can I say? Anyway, I was also so lucky to take part in so many film festivals this year, both in person and virtually, and I hope the trend continues until I tire of it (HA!). Here are my favorite films of the year (and see the rest at the bottom!).
