Later this week, Adam and Josh share their favorite scenes of the 2025 movie year as part of the Year-End Wrap Party. They also announce the winner of the 2025 Golden Brick Award. For this archive episode, we share the Filmspotting review of 2022 Brick winner AFTERSUN, which also went on to become Adam and Josh's shared #1 film of the year.

Adam and Josh already went long on MARTY SUPREME in the show proper, but wanted to spend a few minutes teasing out their different reads on the end of the film. And those few minutes turned into 30.

Back from the New Year’s break, Adam and Josh go long on the majesty - and some of the shortcomings - of Josh Safdie’s MARTY SUPREME. Plus, Josh is positive on the new AVATAR, and Adam recommends Gus Van Sant’s DEAD MAN’S WIRE and Kaouther Ben Hania’s THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB.
