A few words on Jai, the most riveting performance this year
We asked our regular contributors to pick a performance this year they loved, and the results capture the diversity of genre, tone, and even acting styles in the art form. Consider this a snapshot of the great acting of 2025:

1. BREAKING

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is referring to the Bondi Beach massacre as a “targeted attack on Jewish Australians,” and says that “an attack on Jewish Australians is an attack on every Australian.”

God bless @honorszombie.bsky.social 's top ten this year. Red Sonja! Hah! I love it. (I haven't seen Red Sonja, btw. Didn't even know it was available until about fifteen minutes ago when I watched Scout's Unloved section on the film).

Happy I can talk about this - I contributed an essay about the stealth-queer henchmen played by Lee Van Cleef and Earl Holliman in this noir classic. #filmsky 📽

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Pretty sure the pentagon has air conditioning
Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?

HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

I cannot express how much this movie really struck me like lightning. Ward hasn’t made a movie in nearly 20 years, which is a tragedy.
With THE UNLOVED celebrating twelve years, this latest video essay from @honorszombie.bsky.social explores RIVER QUEEN, a “film that the world forgot … which little of it ever saw.”
