With Mike Schindler still on baby duty (and sleep being but a distant memory), Mark and Randy seize control of the microphones and celebrate 100 years of movie anniversaries. This episode looks ahead to the films turning many a milestone age in 2026 — including Shrek, Rocky, Mission: Impossible, and Crocodile Dundee just to name a few. Expect deep trivia, questionable impressions, and personal stories pulled from a combined 100 years in the movie business (yes, really). Things get even stranger when a “special musical guest” crashes the studio. 🎶🍿

Join us as we honor the movies that shaped generations — and are still filling theatres today.

Mark sits down with podcast producer and certified movie nut Jim Toth to break down the very best of 2025 at the movies — from the films that kicked off the year to the standouts still lighting up screens in early 2026.

From F1 roaring off the starting line to Sinners, Weapons, and plenty of pulse-pounding thrills in between, nothing is off the table.

They also dig into this week’s schedule, debate favorites, make a few bold calls for the year’s best, and share plenty of laughs along the way.

Join us for a lively look back at a year full of great movies, memorable moments, and why 2025 reminded us just how fun going to the movies can be. 🎬🍿
